My "step father" of the time had its "counterpart" as well I'm pretty sure. It was made by the same people but was more rare. It was a robot with a smooth helmet. And when you put them together I remember they did something special.(95% sure it was just a easter egg voice line) I can't remember what but it was neat
Crazy thought why dont other vr companies do what apple did, take the battery out of the headset and just use a battery bank. Not only would it eliminate weight in the headset but if done right could mean you could play for more than 2 or 3 hours. Just a crazy thought
Because other headsets are for gaming. You don't think it'll be common for people to rip their headset off from the wire while taking a swing an at enemy? I think pico has it best of both worlds where the battery goes at the back of the head making the weight balanced, and 2-3 hours is plenty of time for most people
@Phantomdude im saying like in the future why not remove the battery from the headset and put it into a battery bank thats not on the head so its lesss overall weight on the headset. Then have a battery on the preson or someth8ng like that i feel like it would be interesting and i feel like it could be more enjoyable possibly for the end user to not have so much weight on the head
@fredhandfield i understand i use a meta quest 2, and after so long, it's just a lot of weight on the head. Im saying like apple with the battery pack style, not being on the head but yet rather connected to a secure cable that connectes to battery on the body like a pocket it would take the weight off the head making the lighter on the head.

no the 3 has the pancake lenses and those make a masive diffrence plus the 3 has better resolution panels and fov and it has a nice adjustable ipd scroll wheel, the quest 3s has quest 2 lenses and the quest 2 panel, so dont worry im prete sure u will be able to use the quest 3 for a long time, the quest 3s uses the same chip as quest 3.
Passthrough on a vr headset is terrible atm, 4k isn't enough. It's like walking around looking down at your nose and seeing everything else out of your peripherals.
Is it suitable for workspace? I was thinking about getting one because of study and researches that I need to do for it and it seems like good option but I'm scare ill have difficulty reading from it bcs of worse lenses
Tracking is flawless, but you have to keep in mind your environment. Sitting at your desk with your monitor right in front of you seems to cause it problems sometimes.
Phone VR is just terrible. It's a night and day difference. Actual VR tracks your movements. You can walk and swing in real life and have that be 1-1 translated to the game. Phone VR just tracks the rotation
Finally the quest 2 replacement is here the quest 3 was never the replacement it was like basically the pro version well not the pro version uh it’s like the ultra its made to be more powerful and premium with the way better lenses

Now compare this price to other VR or even a PS5. BTW this can play Batman Arkham Shadow, Assassin's Creed VR, Iron Man and Asgard's Wrath 2, all really good games on Quest 3.

Way to go captain obvious. The pancakes are what causes the price to go up so much. That's literally the whole point of this headset. Nothing gets past you, does it?
