The Quest 3 device and lenses are greatly improved over the quest 2. The new pancake lenses in the quest 3 has a much larger sweet spot, and no magnification rings that caused those annoying god rays. Increased resolution and better lenses, make for a much clearer image. There are still reasons that it might be blurry however. IPD, limitations to the device, vergence accommodation conflict, dry eyes, and needing glasses or the main reasons. Check out the full video to find the tips to help.

![10 Must-Try Meta Quest 3 Experiences [Non-Games]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2Q-PpuPEqY0/mqdefault.jpg)
Did you get, or planning on getting the Quest 3? Check out this video playlist on VR and Eyes to learn more!: rb.gy/wqeano
I was planning on upgrading, because I love the sound of better lenses, but the lack of software/decent games is giving me pause, plus I barely use the Quest2.
@@danw3735 I had the same feelings. Try to find someone that has one so you can try it.
I bought Q2 last year (or so). My son had one. I bought a Q3 and itâs much clearer with adjustable IPD (mine is large at 73mm!). It is also more comfortable to wear than Q2 out of the box. I use it more than I did the Q2. Mixed Reality is quite interesting & easy to set-up.
I wear glasses so thinking of getting inserts and zyber headstrap & eventually their neck battery. I am 60 yo & into electronics/EE.
I plan on giving my daughter my old Q2 so the family can have VRChats no matter where we live.
I got one! It's awesome! 512GB !!!
Great video mate
No
0:44 that transition, wow
I've only had my Quest 3 about 2 weeks now, but I'm extremely happy with it. Can't say I've noticed any chromatic aberration, except maybe at the very extreme edges of the lenses with high contrast shapes. I had an Odyssey+ for years, so even on the Quest 3's worst day, it's much clearer than the O+ ever was.
agreed!
Happy with it but the apps need a upgrade resolution
I noticed some shaky lighting in assassins creed im sing air link with good pc
@DrEyeGuy i really don't understand why no producer says about how to measure the eye distance and I didn't know about it before now. Thanks hugely, because no any TH-camr talking about VR take in serious consideration this and don't explain how important it is.
Huge thanks for the video and the free app link. Really!
Moreover neither the VR producers give a real tutorial about this to help the user feel more comfortable and just kick the user in the VR experience without giving them a proper tutorial, it's kinda sad and explains a lot why many people don't feel comfortable with VR.
Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU.
Thanks for that clear explanation. I was wondering about whether I was focusing near (at the lens) or far. I'd still like to understand how multi-focal contacts (or multi-focal cataract lenses) would work in VR.
Very cool to see this broken down from the perspective of an opthamologist. I recently upgraded from The Quest 2 to the quest 3 and notice for me a significant increase in clarity. I've been switching back and forth and anytime I go back to my Quest 2, I wonder how I was able to use it for all those years as I had it since launch. It's one of those ignorance is bliss situations because if you don't know any better it's just fine but once you use the quest 3, the Quest 2 is a blurry mess. I've even been working in VR now using the Immersed app as the clarify is finally good enough to read documents.
I love Immersed!
Canât wait to get my prescription lenses. Hopefully theyâll help with the eye fatigue I get after 4-5 hrs.
@@RalstigRacing yeah I've been hooked. I have bad attention issues and work from home so it's been super helpful to keep me focused. Excited for the future of this tech! ðĪ
@@Paulie8K Same here! I got this instead of an additional monitor. I will also be traveling for the holidays, I figure it would be great as I'll be able to bring my office with me.
(I'm a bookkeeper, and I have a 4 monitor setup at home.) It's tough working while traveling as I usually end up with 2 monitors at most.
@@RalstigRacing O cool. I have a triple 1440P 27" setup I use for both my remote job and gaming. I work for a Software company in Project Management so I have to juggle between Immersed and my setup just because I tend to be on a fair bit amount of client calls with camera on. Days where I don't have many calls on the books is where I can spend a fair bit of time in Immersed which is nice. My gf is also an Accountant. CPA for a private equity firm so I know how rough the first few weeks of the month closing the books can be. Good luck!
He's actually an optometrist, not an opthalmologist.
You're advice on pupillary distance was perfect, I tried the glasses on app, and then called my vision center to confirm what my pd was, and the glasses on app was spot on, dropped a like ð
I believe many people saying quest 3 is blurry is complaining about the pass through being low resolution and has not of noise.
What is noise
@@DrezzyEFTPgraininess
@huntermassey5475 oh well just say that then
@@DrezzyEFTP Iâm not the original poster
@@huntermassey5475 oh ok my fault
Thanks doc, love this! Should be a must watch by everyone.
thanks! this helped a lot! I did the eye pupil thing and shoved my glasses in it and its relatively crystal clear now. Super strange needing glasses in it as a near sighted person but what you described makes sense, my vision gets blurry at about 2-3 feet
Same, it is such a struggle needing glasses for a Vr that is shoved into your face..
@@spectral_blue3529 you can order custom lens as long as you have your prescription, itâs a game changer.
hey! Thanks so much for making this video. I'm new to the VR world and put it off for years because my vision is so bad... astigmatism and can't really see a foot in front of my face, lol. I also wear a 0.5 prism in my readers, and 1.0 prism in my distance glasses. Your video helped me understand why I should wear my distance glasses in my Quest 3 to help prevent blurriness. Thanks again!
Thank-you for making this!
Thank you, one thing I keep my mind on is making sure I blink, thats always helped me a lot, but the thing id never given a though was the vergance accommodation conflict, It makes total sense, to try and help me with this is while im playing a game, when I get to parts of a game where I get a few seconds I look all around the screen but not focusing on things, this has reduced head aches to almost zero, I also feel my eye muscles have become stronger, as when I first started looking around I would get a little muscle ache, now I get nothing. Thanks again for your time on this video, helped me understand a lot.
Thanks so much for posting this. Iâve got glasses to see in the distance but theyâre too big to fit inside the quest. Like you said, I had actually thought I didnât need them because the device was so closeup, yet things were still blurry. This video certainly answered my questions. Now I just need to find out wear to get the prescription lens for it.
With an IPD of around 74-75, Ive never had a good time with VR. But the quest 3 is perfect! I set it to max, and I can see clearly from edge to edge on both eyes ð
Thanks! It helped to use it more correctly.
The one thing ive found to help change my focus in vr is to relax and very slightly cross my eyes just until you feel the image double. It sort of resets my brain and whatever im looking at is what it default tries to focus on. Helps alot with menus and things that pop up etc. Also having the center of the display be further away then look towards the object with your eyes first then your head, helps track and bring it into focus rather then your eyes trying to immediately adjust to it.
Thanks for this video. I have no problems so far with my new Quest 3. Video lens quality is very clear and a big improvement over my older Oculus Rift S VR headset. I will keep your suggestions in mind should I do run into blurry problems with the Quest 3.
This was very helpful Iâve been trying to be aware of taking care of my eyes in vr and was wondering if itâs just the question 2 or my eye distance is just not in any of the sweet spots so your helping me consider the upgrade.
I ordered some reloptix lenses today. I canât wait to play with them. Iâve always found it difficult with VR as I have to wear my glasses. Being able to get the lenses closer to my eyes is going to be a big help I think. ðĪðŧ
Wow, finally, you get a quest 3. Congrats, man. So how do you feel about it. Do you have any reviews and tips for having a better experience in quest 3? What do you think about bonicular overlap on quest 3 compared to quest 2. I think i noticed it more in Quest 3 for some reason.
Great video doc. Iâm an optician and agree with all your comments. I just ordered lenses for my Q3 and hope it helps. Keep the tips coming.
thanks for the alert about eye irritations
At first when I put on my quest 3 for the first time, I was very sad that I could see the pixels, it was like grainy looking, but after a while I got used to it and everything looks great now. But I think my quest 3 was faulty cause it started having lines in the display that were like very hard to see but still very visible in white environments.
Been updated ððð pass through is clear ð
Thank you so much for the great video. I learned a lot.
Thank you! I try to put as much education/detail I can in a video. Some people like it, some people don't. Thanks for commenting!
Awesome video ð With my quest2 and prescription lenses it is still blurry, it improves only if holding it with my hands at a specific position that I loose using it normally. I understand that the quest3 with its new lens and better setup will improve my experience even if not perfect. Thanks a lot !
Had to wait for my prescription lenses inserts for Q3, before using them VR was slightly blurry. Now with the lenses everything is fine. Might be that a lot of people do not know their IPD or know that they need prescription lenses.
Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for the idea for the dish soap on the quest three lens because now it doesnât fog anymore
Im so glad i found your channel . I tell my eye doctor about how triggeri g my vision is and they just increase my perscription i literally have to wear glasses from cvs because the lenses they prescribe are always too strong. Im going to look into the eye drops
Great Video! I have trifocal lenses for daily wear, reading glasses, and computer glasses. What are your thoughts on using the daily wear type vs computer? I'm guessing the distance scrip in the trifocals are best.
Thnx for the info! What kind of strap are you using? Regards, Ron
I discovered my guess a PD was off and I was wearing the incorrect glasses the whole time. Thank you for a great video!
Awesome video dude, incredibly thorough. I actually just clicked the video based on the thumbnail (obviously did it's job), and got half way through and thought, damn this guy should be an eye doctor lol. Then read your name and you mentioned it later on. I actually ordered prescription lenses online for my Q3, but I figured reading would be best and not distance, so may have to send those back. Will have to test it out! Thanks for the tips, I learnt quite a bit - Thank you!
Thank you for the awesome comment! So glad this video could help. I love making these types of videos.
Hey Doc, your right with the nausea because I just got my first pair of VR. My stomach felt awful
This was super helpful.
Fascinating video. New sub as Iâm new with a Q3 and new to VR as well.
Iâm monocular (since I was little) and have been wondering how much of the effect of VR that Iâm missing out on. I describe using my Q3 as looking at a screen through a toilet paper tube but the effect disappears after I get going. So how much am I missing out on? And how important is PD for me?
This is one of the coolest VR explanation videos. I actually learned about my eyes haha
Thank you so much for saying this... I really do appreciate it.
i had the pico 4 for 2 weeks and i was not happy cause of the sharpness and clarity. bought the meta 3 and instanlty saw a difference. worth the price upgrade.
This was fascinating and very informative, thanks.
Great video! I am stealing this for my corporate XR users/trainers. Every point is valid for knowing on any XR device.
Awesome! Thank you!
Don't forget to clean the front passthrough cameras with a soft cloth! Sometimes they can get fingerprints on them and become blurry as well
This is a fantastic video great info!
No offence meant, Dr EyeGuy. But simply because of TH-cam's strange recommendation choices, this is the first time watching one of your video's. Firstly, what a fantastic quality video - and a big compliment to your amazing editing skills. I was one of the best video's I ever watched for both information & enjoyment. But my question comes from STILL owning the original Oculus RIFT. So when I move the (manual) PD adjuster on the RIFT, it tells me in the headset, that my clearest view is a PD of 49 (it's lowest possible setting). But when the Quest 3 first came out - some Channels stated that the lowest PD setting was 53. But now a lot of other Channels like yours are now stating that the very LOWEST setting if actually 58, not 53. So my question is simply if I know my PD is 49 (or possibly even lower?) - then would you say as an eye specialist, that this automatically makes the Quest 3 a NO-GO for me?
Your quest videos are great! Has anyone else noticed spots on their lens that seem to be blurry almost like a permanent fog spot? I noticed one on my left lens on the right side. It's not the end of the world but a bit annoying when you notice it.
Yes! And no matter how I clean them they look foggy!
Yes! So annoying!
I just got some Hons magnetic prescription lenses. The clarity is great, but I feel that as they clip within the rim of the Quest 3 lenses, they actually reduce the size, at least on first glance, of the Quest 3 lenses.
Does that really matter when your eyes are so close to them?
Also, they touch just under my eyebrows, so have to adjust the eye relief back one step.
I never had any of these issues with my Quest 2. Maybe clipping the lenses over the Quest 2 lenses was a better solution?
With regards to glasses you answered every question I wanted answering. So now I don't have to ask them .. thanks dude ð
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Can you please will it damage my eyes using this thing? thank you! Subscribed
I got Quest 3 lenses from VR Rock, only 39 bucks with free shipping. and I gotta say, the quality surpassed my expectations. I'm really happy I went with them.
Good to hear! I am testing these lenses out now.
awesome thank you doc!
cant wait to get this amazing headset
This is an amazing video! Thank you so much for this. Iâve gone from Vive when ya had to manually adjust the lenses to match your eyes to the psvr2 that has the auto adjusting and I got contact lenses so I could use them purely for VR. Been wanting to get a quest 3 but wasnât sure how the focus and adjustment worked. Now I do. Thanks heaps for this ð sucks that they donât automatically adjust. But ah well. Is there a testing/setup thing in the quest 3 for that? So when you first put it in ya can go through them to make everything look good?
Thanks!
Yes, there is a setup at the beginning, but it's pretty minimal.
Good day from Snowy Sweden! I have a question, if I may? My optician has consistently measured my PD at 65mm, but when I used the Quest Pro or various apps, it always came to 68mm. Which one should I trust? Could it be a convergence issue when the PD's are measured in different scenarios?
Great info!
congrats on 100k :)
Thanks! It's been awesome doing these videos.
you sir have knowledge.
In my experience, simply taking a microfiber cloth and rubbing your lenses will lead to scratches VERY quickly. Get a LensPen and use the brush side extensively before you polish with the other side of the pen.
Great comment... you're right. If you don't have a super clean microfiber cloth.. you could scratch the lenses with the debri that's on there
Ensure your microfiber cloth is clean. I have been using microfiber for my camera lenses and in 4 years I have no scratch.
the funny thing about all these lens artifacts - chromatic aberration, reflections, etc - we've kinda been primed for it in flatscreen gaming
just about every modern game released in the last 10 or 20 years has lens flare you can toggle, chromatic aberration you can toggle, and all manner of other actual visual distortions and artifacts you can add for 'flavour'
now back here in present day on the cutting edge of tech, we can generate all those same lens effects naturally in the vr headset with no gpu overhead!
the future is now ð
Hello Doctor! I have strabismus with a lazy eye on the side. I began to work with concentration to bring my lazy eye when concentrating toward te center... Do you think VR may help me to deal with my strabismus or cause it to be more gentle? thank in advance!
Don't forget to clean the outside lens for MR/AR.
With the far focal distance, it sounds like the custom lenses I just ordered which have the ADD power were the incorrect choice?
I have Ambliopia in the right eye. Is the ipd relevant to me on quest 3 ? Also can you give some tips for not having blurry vision on the left eye ? Thanks !
The glasses on app is pretty good for measuring IPD. I am not so sure about the prescription extraction. I am still debating whether I want to buy a Quest 3. However, I do want to say that I appreciate this Quest 3 video from someone I trust.
My IPD was 74mm but quest 3 only goes to 70 ð
Update. I just ordered a Quest 3 and it is being delivered tomorrow. So, now I am really looking forward to the prescription lens inset review that is coming to this channel. I find contact uncomfortable so I rather not have to use them.
â@@watcherworld5873Q3 is not as hype as some paid Meta YTubers are making it.
â@@maradonna5956You should still be fine. Mine is higher than the max as well, at 73, but I play Quest 2 just fine with prescription inserts.
From my understanding, Quest 3 is more forgiving than Quest 2, since it has pancake lenses.
What is your thoughts in using this in a office environment? Me
Use autocad and use 3 monitors but with thisâĶ life changer
Thanks I started and still use the first oculus. I love it so much so my pc is way outdated now.
That said I do not understand how you can play a game if your vr headset is not plugged in.
As I use it now. Elite frontier is awesome, as well as as a horror creepy game I can not remember at this moment.
I also had all my friend do the VR roller coaster standing up. If you fix your legs to say a chair NP. Then take the chair away. They wobble like weebills wobbles.
VR is so good I love it. Hence why I want to upgrade my headset.
I am not sure if I need an up to date PC.
Thanks! And never keep Visine bottle next to superglue.
I'm near sighted and didn't think I had to wear my glasses. I just thought VR was slightly blurry, well, I put on my glasses the other day whilst wearing the Quest 3 and wow the clarity. I feel so dumb.
Itâs also due to the adjustment not you just needing glasses
Have you noticed a glare effect on the Quest 3?
I owned the Q2 and with the Q3 I noticed a strong glare effect
Thanks for your reviews on the lenses. Just ordered a set of RELOPTIX. Excited for them to come in!
Did your lenses come in yet? How do you like them?
@@Cpnpd922 They come in today.
(My lenses were not a special order)
They had a massive influx of orders and ran behind on original estimates.
having both pico4 and q3, the q3 is little better visually, also color is a bit better too. both are super good upgrade from q2 pico3 vr.
I noticed with the default strap it wouldn't hold the headset close enough to my face- but if I pushed on the headset a bit and 'snugged it up' text got instantly less blurry. I ended up buying a halo style strap which has eliminated the problem. the default strap is awful, cannot believe they shipped with that.
Hey! My near sightedness is finally useful!
I think I need to set it to farther away maybe a notch or two. My eye lashes i think hit the lenses. But also I think my quest 3 is stuck on the low res mode from battery saving and Meta still hasn't fixed the bug. Either way its my first VR and I like it for the price.
What mainly sucks is finding out im left eye dominant and right handed and always closed my left eye while aiming IRL. ð
What about the darkening around the edges of the lenses? I just got my quest 3 and as soon as I was in a bright environment, I couldn't stop noticing the dark edges. Looks like there is a vignette around the whole thing. My quest 2 was much more consistent.
Hmm. I focus pretty well, to a distance of about 6 feet, but I needed prescription inserts with the Quest 2.
This is explained my headaches from it
For me I used to wear an old pair of glasses that had a weaker subscription for distance and they broke then I didn't wear them and felt i could see pretty good and the Quest 2 had a little blur but it was more comfortable than wearing my glasses. For some reason maybe the bright screen wearing glasses hurt my eyes. When I got the PSVR2 and Quest 3 i noticed it was hard to see without my glasses. I got two pairs of prescription lenses for both headsets but asked for a little weaker so I can see farther but wouldn't hurt seeing things closer and from the bright screen. My issue now is when looking through the lenses I see clear but if I look at an angle through them it's blurry. I never thought i was supposed to get a base curve but I think that is why. I didn't think lens inserts had a curve but they may.
Thanks for this video, it helped (a bit) and background about how the eyes are working with VR. I have the Q2 for years now (using it problem free), but with the new Q3 i just can't use it comfortable. I get eyestrain and dry eyes (now using artificial tears - this increased the comfortable time for more minutes). I tried everything, blinking more, measured IPD, set the glasses spenser as far away as possible (this also improved the comfort a bit), but still after 30 minutes my eyes are hurting. I have no blurry vision, no cyber sicness, no double vision etc. After using the Q3 my vision on short distance seems improved (really sharo), but distance seems to be a bit blurry. I don't now what I still can do. I love the pancake lenses, but the comfort is still far away compared with the Q2. I already changed the britness to low, nightmode but almost no result. I'm really thinking about a refund, but i'm also thinking about prescription lenses with a blue filter, could this improve the situation? I'm now using my own glasses.
Good question! I had one other person email me about the same type of problem. He ended up noticing the device was resting on this cheeks a little more, pulling down his eyelids and drying his eyes out. He just got an updated head strap to pull the device up a little better and said that helped. With your vision being sharper up close and blurry in the distance after you play, I almost wonder if you are experiencing something called 'accommodative spasms". This is where your focusing muscles can get kind of locked in a certain focus... can cause strain and blur at distance. Not sure why you would get this more in the quest 3 though. Have you had your eyes checked recently? I would be curious to hear if they find some hyperopia (farsightedness) or some presbyopia. With these conditions, depending on the person, you can use your focusing muscles and still see great... but can really start to bug your eyes after a little while. Again... not sure why you would experience it more in the quest 3 though. Maybe the true focal distance is a little different than the quest 2 and it's not working well with your eyes? I wish I could be more help... let me know if you figure it out... you have me curious now.
@DrEyeGuy yesterday I went to my local optometrist (he is also a vr enthousiast) and right away he noticed that my ipd settings (measured with the glasses app were wrong). Strangly enough my ipd settings on the quest2 were 6.3, but according the app it should be 6.5. But with 6.5 I get more eyestrain then with 6.3, but my real ipd was 7 to 7.1. My eyes were also a bit dry and the tears are drying out a bit to early. I am farsighted and he also thinks that I have some form of spasms, but nothing to worry about (according to him). He advised my to use a kind of oil tears, which prevent my eye tears from drying out to quickly. First test was okay.. the first time the eyestrain was still there but a bit less, but the left and right eye were noth completely overlapping (i see the 2 rings of the q3). What I now noticed is that my eyes are less dry and when removing the glasses my eyes can adapt easier to close and far sight. Still have to 2 days before I have to refund or keep the vr headset. Any idea if my eyes have to adapt to this new situation?
I'm getting pretty instant eye pain on the Q3. I've been able to use to Q2 just fine. I've tried a few IPD settings, and it's not helping. It's a bummer, I am not sure if I will be able to get this to work right now.
Bummer, sorry to hear that. It makes me wonder why the quest 2 is fine though.
@jimb0connolly did you already found a solution? I didn't use the q3 so far, the q2 is fine no issues there. I'm thinking about buying the bobvr headstrap, I heard it fixes some eye strain issues at some people
So many people are talking about this and the optics. In high contrast situations, like white words on a black background, I notice and many others too that there appears to be a "fog or haze" on the lenses. Like an uneven glow. If you move your head in this situation, you can see the fog change or move. Is this normal or are these units defective? I am told this maybe normal for these LCD screens and lenses. But I find that odd it would be. Like the coatings are bad or something? And no this is not fogging from wearing it. It's there all the time.
Any thoughts? And again, lots of people are complaining of this and many want a real answer but we are not getting it from Meta.
Yes.. I notice it as well. I noticed it would the quest 2, but the quest 2 had other distortions that distracted from it. With the quest 3 being clearer that haze/glare seems more noticeable. That can be caused from a few things. It can be the display, could be the lenses... even with the Pancake lenses you will have light scatter and glare. Depending on the person, it can be their own eyes if they have astigmatism not corrected for.
@@DrEyeGuy Its not just the glare its like also looking through fog.People say high contrast but I have it all the time
Is it the far PD or near PD? Eye measure gives me both of these
I just found your video, as I was looking for something to fix my blurry Q3. It's blurry only when i look straight, but if I look left, it's very sharp, so it looks like lens somehow disoriented, dislocated, and very difficult to position it to be sharp in the middle. Any idea?
I went from the HTC Vive to the Quest 3 and I had the problem, that it was very blurry. Later I realized I had to wear my glasses with the Q3 while the Vive worked just fine without them. I think its because the stenopic gap in the Vive.
The absolute best advice on this video was to point out that you should wear your distance glasses. I just got my headset today, tried it for 30 minutes without glasses couldn't figure out how to get it 'in focus'. Watched this video, put my glasses on and then WOW. The only thing is that now I'm seriously considering getting prescription lenses for it. :/
What about us with binocular overlap problem with Q3 which is massive...Q2 works fine for me, but Q3 is pain in the ass...
The distance adjustment is a must-have for my long lashes.
For sure!
My IPD is 54 according to my eye doctor, will have an issue with the Quest 3 since it only goes down to 58? I will be getting Rx lenses for the Quest 3 though and the lenses I found do go down to an IPD of 54.
At the 11 minute mark, what head strap are you using?
Greetings from Kuwait. Doc Iâve preordered my VR lenses from VR Waves. Iâm still waiting for them. I gave them the data from my progressive eyeglasses and not the close reading glasses, is that correct? And yes indeed I noticed blurring in Quest 3 when I look to the sides unlike Quest 2. But in general the image in Quest 3 is much sharper in the center. At the moment Iâm wearing my progressive lenses in Quest 3.
Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes, your prescription for your progressives will work, as long as they are for normal progressives that you can wear full time, because it will have your distance prescription in there. So they will be able to take the prescription and make the lenses just fine.
You can disable chromatic aberrations in system settings with side quest.
I remember doing it for my quest 2 so it should be there for the 3
I do notice an annoying white haze or reflection when playing on the quest 3.
Strangely it seems more blurry than the quest 2 ðĪ·
I've actually had a few people who have commented that. I'm not sure why that would be because it's the opposite for me.
I'm probably gonna have to go get my eyes checked again and see what lenses I would need for the Quest 3.
I got them tested and I could see really far away, but the moment it came too close everything was just a blur.
I only ever used my glasses to read, and even then it was too much to adjust to.
And I was a heavy drinker and sort of a lowlife.
(My Mum wanted me to get my eyes checked and get glasses.)
So I lost them along the way in one of my many times moving from one place to another.
Either that or they got stolen by somebody along the way.
But I never really figured I'd need em.
Never figured it'd be something I'd need for a headset lol.
I can see the between the lenses when Iâm playing and Iâve set the setting to everything. Is there any way to fix this?
Is there a reason the pass through mode doesnât use the camera it uses to record stuff in pass through because itâs a better than the camera it uses right now
What are those glasses you mentioned are made specifically for VR. I ordered a non-headset specific sports-like VR glasses previously, as I switched from Vive to Oculus, but the lenses are so close to my eye lashes, that they constantly get smudged. So am interested in wire ones you showed. Thank you.
Some type of facial or medical tape over your eyebrows might help keep them from smudging.
Hello, I'm a bit farsighted by age (44 now). I have a bit of strain when using the Quest3 and things get up close in my face. I don't wear glasses in normal life, because even reading is still without issues. It's only when I get the smartphone or book very close to my head that the letters get blurry. Is it an idea to get +1 lens for the Quest 3?
It's very odd that Meta don't make public what the focal distance of the Q3 is though it does explain my less than satisfactory interaction with Zenni in the lead up to the launch. I always used glasses with the Q2 but decided that this time I would go with inserts and used Zenni, the company that Meta seem to recommend. As I no longer use prescription glasses I needed to enter the details on their site myself and so emailed them to ask what the focal distance of the Q3 is. They initially told me they couldn't do prescriptions even though I never asked them to and then told me I should go with whatever I use for distance. They never admitted to not knowing what the focal distance is but I'm guessing they don't and the lenses I use for distance would have been completely wrong - a fact that was very easy to verify by actually trying it. Luckily, I ignored their advice and went with what works with the Q2 (the lenses I use for watching TV, so around 5 feet away) and everything in the Q3 seems to be pretty clear.
I'm hoping we get an exact focal distance in the future. Would be really nice to instances like this where people want to fully customize their prescription.
â@DrEyeGuy You have the lenses, can't you sacrifice a headset and measure their negative diopter strength and their distance to the LCD? ð
Itâs an infinite focal distance on most headsets.
I have the quest two and the PlayStation five VR so I almost did not buy the quest three but I am so glad I did. With the quest two I can never get a completely clear vision so when I was playing Resident Evil 4, it was only so good I could get and then I just dealt with it but on the quest three wow All I can say is if youâre on the fence like I was the quest three is worth the upgrade everything about it is awesome and I went with the 499 one the games tend to be pretty small and I could always erase and put the games back if needed be and another reason why I bought the 499 one was it was the only one in stock for same-day delivery all the others I had to wait till the weekend or something Lately when I want something especially if I could get it same day I want it. It came with a free game $60 game even though Iâm kind of stuck in the beginning of it. They gave you a pretty nice game. I almost joined their service for like seven or eight dollars a month or $59 for the year they give you two free games a month, but what I donât like is if you own those two games itâs too bad you canât trade it and thatâs not cool not only that the last few months worth of games didnât look too appealing. Now I know seven dollars a month is cheap or whatever it was and I almost joined. I just donât think itâs fair. If one of the games you already own you should lose the game itâs only a month maybe they should have it one time a year you could skip a month if itâs games you donât like already own just my opinion
I didnât have any issues with trying to on the apple vision pro even with it not fitting properly but with the quest 3 i can get it right but move my head just a little bit of movement it goes out of focus kinda weird i know thereâs a lot of reasons two but kinda weird it doesnât stay in focus hardly ever even with making it as tight as possible
I has recently got a Quest 3 as my first headset, and it strains my eyes too much.
I wonder could it be I have a defective optics? Sometimes I feel that even a slight change in the headset fit makes the picture more blurry.
It's possible
