Forgive me if I'm a bit all over the place in this one. It was a rough week of parenting. But like I said, I'm showing up here in grateful repayment of your support! Thanks for watching. Oh a point of clarity: 4:18 This option doesn't turn the outline on or off in passthrough, it adds a glow to the existing outline around your hands. In case the b-roll was confusing there. Cheers
Thanks for posting an informative yet Concise video. People seem to really like the short format. But I know that sometimes you have to make a video as long as it needs to be. By the way, I am using dictation on The quest 3 to post this.
I'm not a fan of Meta's dominance in the VR space, but I really like that your channel focuses on practical use cases and spatial computing. Makes me wish someone would make a channel that did this for HTC's Vive XR Elite. They definitely have a smaller userbase and expensive product, but I think the competition is important for the market nonetheless.
@@BrianPeiris Agreed. competition keeps it alive. Just look what the Apple Vision Pro has done to the Quest. I think the Quest 2 & 3 caught “lightning in a bottle” and was able to deliver heaps of functionality at a very doable price for most pockets. Other headsets would have wowed the masses if they just gave it a shot. Honestly I hope manufacturers like HTC and others take advantage of the open Meta Horizon OS. I love competition but not so much a fan of fragmentation across experiences. Thanks for watching! I plan to cover gaming too just trying to figure out where I fit in that niche.
Thank you for the contrast tip! I noticed when increasing the contrast just a smidge it does wonders on fixing the over exposure I experienced when using my phone.
Great vid! Thanks so much for contrast tip. Keep up the great work with vids..... your personality and voice are made for video so only a matter of time before you've got a big influx of subs. 👍👍
I just got the Quest 3, my first VR headset. I'm super excited to learn and experience everything. My only tiny disappointment, which I hope will improve, is that the passthrough is quite grainy.
@@scottj2895 Yes, you’re actually seeing the passthrough at a great state, it used to be REALLY bad. If you’ve on v67 or newer its may be as good as we get until the quest 4. The contrast trick is this video does help a bit. One thing I’ll mention is that passthrough is really just to see things around you room to ‘mix’ the reality I don’t think the quest 3 was focused on it as a super clear option to work through but they’ve done their best with the hardware we have. Honestly I don’t notice it once i start using productivity apps or even mixed reality games because the passthrough is in my periphery. Enjoy the new Quest 3!! Exciting to see so many newcomers to the VR/MR space. There’s a lot to love about this nifty little device.
@@ZorkVirtualReality thanks! Yeah the one you heard in the video was Huberman Lab. It’s not flashy at all but I just like that he keeps everything science based when it comes to health and development. Less “made up stuff” like in other podcasts on the same subject. The other one is Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett. His story was inspiring and he’s had some great guests. Although some guests are sensational and sometimes just say things to counter facts so be selective when choosing episodes ok that one. I’ll let you know if I stumble on more worth sharing!
I'm using the Quest 3 now! It is quite immersive. It will take some time before I know how to navigate this headset. I noticed that if I'm watching content, My hand will be stuck in virtual form Obscuring my view.?. There's still a lot that I don't know how to do but this is an amazing VR /MR Headset!!!
@@moderncontemplative congrats on the new quest. If your hands get in the way too much while watching content I recommend just turning off hand tracking and using your controllers, you can just sit down the controller and enjoy your movie or whatever.
@@TheConstruct_VR I’m really impressed,even though the lenses are not OLED. Blacks are black enough and the colors seem accurate. Everything appears crisp and clear. The view is gorgeous and I honestly don’t even really miss a tandem OLED. I have the iPad Pro M4. But this Q3 is a much more capable and immersive device. I truly thank you for your professionalism, and thorough reviews because, you helped me make this purchase 🤛🏾👍🏾
Haha 👊😎 . Thanks! I cut my own hair. I realized a while back that I don’t really have style, just low.. so I can cut it my self, the shape up is the hardest part though
I don't know if its just me but Im finding with 67/68, if you put your controllers down for a long time whilst using the browser, you have hand tracking ok, but you cant wake the controllers up again unless you put the headset into standby for a minute or so. I notice the keyboard often gets lost underneath another window too. It's good otherwise.
Actually i noticed that glitch too. I’m not sure if the controller isn’t waking, actually i think it’s a bug in 68 where the pointer disappears. Try to look closely, you’ll notice that things are still being highlighted but there’s no pointer. Hitting the standby button off/on brings the pointer back. We need to give 68 some time this is early PTC I’m sure those bugs will get squashed.
@@ShadonicX7543 the 3S’s fresnel lenses are tricky, chances are you can’t look down at your phone because the edges of those lenses are fuzzy. Didn’t not help to increase the contrast as mentioned in this video? There’s not much you can do other than tweaking the contrast and brightness until it looks about as good as you want it. Also with fresnel lenses I would recommend a halo strap so you can get the 3S situated on your face just right to keep your eyes in the center for maximum clarity.
@@TheConstruct_VR hmm now that you mention it I do feel as if after I've worn them for a while things seem to get a big blurrier for some reason. I don't think it's fog, could it be it not being in the right position? If so is it worth it to get a different strap? I do get quite a bit of tightness in my cheekbones trying to keep it from moving. Is there a good strap that doesn't break the bank that makes a genuine difference? I thought they were mostly just for comfort
@@ShadonicX7543 I have a pending video for this. With halo straps (plenty out there for like $40 or so. It allows you to let the headset hover in front of your face. And not squish your face. You can adjust it to your eyes land in the right spot. Bobo VR is the crowd favorite but there are a lot of great options. I’ll have a video about Kiwi design’s new halo strap up in a few days
@@TheConstruct_VR That sounds helpful I'll look forward to it. Looking into it, some of those BoboVR ones seem to be quite bulky in the back which could make seated or reclined usage tough if you want to be able to rest your head on something and not just stand the whole time. Do let me know if something like the Kiwi is also worthwhile
That’s tough because the 360 video is reacting to a center point of view of the viewer. I haven’t tried it yet but I wonder if Bigscreen can do it. I’m curious if you could play he video and each individual could turn on 360 view. Worth a shot
@@TekiTeacher210 Totally!! But as I think about it, it would be hard to pull off. I think instead of 360 with is 3 degrees of freedom (3DOF) it would have to be 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) where you and someone else can move around. Where they could see an avatar and you could point to things or walk near something you wanted to focus on. In 3DOF like in TH-cam the viewer is alone in a ball sort of. 🤔
@@TekiTeacher210 yep! That’s why I was thinking Bigscreen with one host in control of the video may be our only option. VRChat maybe as well. But it can get weird in there, make sure it’s a private room.
@@TheConstruct_VR Well thanks for replying back..sadly me and my Q2 wont get a lot of updates as Meta discontinued it...heres hoping we can get updates via software for a while longer
man they had the passthrough perfect in update 64 had a nice balance, for instance looking outside the light and white would aut balance and I remember being all WOW! when I seen the picture, even looked out the window and could see down the road clear as anything and since update 66 (missed 65) it's stepped back to how it used to be where it would be washed out and too bright

I got a quest 3 specifically for spatial computing and it seems like i came at the right time
@@isaacstevens1912 you seriously did! Check out some of the other videos in my playlists… there’s a lot of options to make it work for you.
Keeping me on my toes changing between light and dark mode like this! You had light mode UI in your v67 video IIRC which made me change over 😂
Hahahah, that’s hilarious because I think I switched after you mentioned it! I feel like it depends on the environment I have on 🤷🏽♂️ 😆
Thank you so much for this amazing video I always enjoy watching your content!
Yeah! I’m definitely doing a close look at 68 once it smooths out. It’s still a bit early in the PTC. As always thanks for watching!
