Google for the win in this space. These are their Studio voices - still waiting for the 'synthesis with multiple speakers' to be made publicly available so I have more control with the output so I can add it to at least one of my apps - youtube.com/@ThorsHEROApps

Thanks! I was surprised to see that I could interact with them already. It's a bit rough/awkward to converse with them but one would think they'll get it figured out in the next iteration or so.

Same here! Finding time seems to be one of my biggest challenges.

Awesome and may you have a great year!

Not yet - I don't have a HDMI capture card. Are you getting any use?

@@WorknTheVerse I have a usb-c battery powered mini pc plugged into it. I've dabbled with using it for s/w dev, not exactly a laptop but it is windows in a headset wherever you want to go.

Thor here - thanks for watching!

So cool to hear this works with the PSVR2 - thanks for sharing!

Thor here - it's not a far reach to see that as the next area of iteration. With AR glass evolution and Immersed's Visor coming to market soon, it could be just what's needed for the next round of quality of life improvements.

@@WorknTheVerse Yeah, I hadn't seen Immersed's stuff before. It looks a lot more comfortable. IMHO, that's one of the big holdups. I don't want to wear something that's going to steam my face and give me a migraine.

@@rocksnot952 Have you tried BoboVR's headstrap yet? The S3 Pro has a blower built-in. I have it and it's a nice add-on. I haven't had to use it much myself.

@@WorknTheVerse I'll look at it. Thank you!

And if you're interested, here's my reaction video when I first got it - ruclips.net/video/Td6I9LwxgwA/видео.html

Thor here - Thanks for watching. I wouldn't be surprised to see Virtual Desktop add what you're asking for in a future release being that it's possible to do so in Immersed and Horizon Workrooms Personal Office mode. As for streaming services, if Apple's next release catches on we might see more companies willing to invest their development hours to getting out more VR content like you're wanting. Netflix did have a dedicated VR app but that went by the wayside earlier this year.

Thor here - Long time in responding but yeah, there were several people who did that. Curious to know if similar numbers happened in countries outside of the US regarding returns.

Thor here - It's safe to charge the battery while it's in the headset which is a GREAT feature. So much easier while providing less wear on the Q3 as you're only unplugging the charging cable from the battery rather than the headset, so yes, one cable to charge both the headset AND battery at the same time.

@@WorknTheVerse This is great. Thank you for your reply. I am now camped out next to my mailbox. 😋 Hope I do not have to wait long. In the meantime, I can get my new Quest 3 adjusted, and all my games installed. Again, Thank you

@@TheLakotariver I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't have to wait too long. :)

@@WorknTheVerse It arrived. Hurray! I was tracking it and ordered an extra battery with the case to go with it. Got them all today. Super happy, took 8 days to arrive to Houston, Texas. Thanks 😁

@@TheLakotariver Oh yeah! Let the good times roll. I'm a bit envious as it only took you 8 days - when I ordered it was closer to 60 I think? I'm glad you didn't have to wait long at all.

Thor here - Thanks for watching and I've never noticed any obvious noises from the BoboVR head straps except for when I'm adjusting with the tightening wheel.

Thor here - I've been using the S3 Pro version now and it seems to be a bit better for longer sessions. If you find pain points on the top, you can remove the top two pads.

Thor here - I agree that both are wonderful. Now I have to find some time so I can try out the latest version of Age of Joy!

@@WorknTheVerse I know the feeling. At the moment I'm torn between AOJ, Arcade Time Capsule and Emuvr with the new WiguX update. Things just keep getting better and better.

@@lmarsh1894 Too many great possibilities, and too little time. Emuvr is definitely on my list too with all of the changes. Sounds like they have made Emuvr's latest more readily available to the public or do you have to get invited still?

Arcade Time Capsule hands down is the best VR arcade I've seen. Looks so pretty and captures the nostalgic feel of the 80's well!

Thor here - The S3 Pro has a very short cable that plugs into the USB-C port but that’s only used to connect the battery to the Q3. You might want to plug in the battery even if you decide not to use it as you might find the balance more comfortable. Easy to place/remove so you can’t go wrong with experimentation.

Thor here - Sorry! I don't have any recommendations for myopia treatment (if Google Translate is presenting your question correctly). If you're looking though for a good lens adapter, Reloptix has a very good solution (ruclips.net/video/-37k49qTzlQ/видео.html)

Thor here - Have you considered XReal's Air 2 Ultra - us.shop.xreal.com/products/xreal-air-2-ultra

@@WorknTheVerse - Yes, thank you for the suggestion. I will likely get the XReal if the Visor turns out to be vaporwear.

Thor here - I'm in agreement with you. For the other side of the coin, John Carmack had a less rosy take on what this could mean - www.uploadvr.com/john-carmack-on-meta-horizon-os-third-party-headsets/

Thor here - nice and thank you!

Thor here - Of the two that I reviewed here, Age of Joy will likely be the first to add the social aspect to it. There is another app in the Meta Store, Arcade Legend, that has the social part but not the licensing for video games. I haven't tried it though.

@@WorknTheVerse arcsde legend...yes that one not goong in the direction i like to. Personally, i like old reel arcade like mame. Ok to pay bit i like to keep the essential. Thats why app that uses mame will jave my heart

Thor here - my preorder took time as well. I've used the fan once so far and it's a nice touch. My hunch is I'll use it more this summer as things heat up!

Hi I got mine today and I thought it was weird every single reviewer said I don't really sweat much . I tried it with just the power it shipped in so it died say 30 mins in the heat all came back to my face and head long story short it's brill I thought it was no doing anything down low untill the heat all went to my face and head brilliant

That's awesome that you're noticing a difference already - Thanks for letting us know!

Thor here - great call out! I'm sure there's other things I missed, too like adding other platforms such as Sega Genesis, AgeBasic for personal customization, and the list goes on!) Looking forward to the updates - so cool seeing the changes from 0.4 to 0.5.

There are many more stuff coming, the gang is hard at work. Time Capsule is always going to look better, but you've got to take into account the hardware it runs on. The Quest is never going to be able to beat that in terms of environmental realism but once you insert a coin in a machine that definitely takes a backseat, and in that sense we're way ahead and definitely not stopping. Time Capsule is a good program too, of course, but AoJ actually has way more to offer in spite of the inferior hardware it runs on - and there are new features incoming. Do you like EmuVR? Who doesn't, right? If only something similar was available for standalone VR...

Quest users have the best of both worlds right now with Age of Joy and Time Capsule. EmuVR is definitely on the list to try (hello multiplayer!) - hopefully the developer will do a general release soon as the latest build is only available by Discord (private channel as of this writing). For those interested, you can get more info here on the 2022 release - www.emuvr.net/wiki/Main_Page

Something similar to EmuVR will be available soon, although with relatively - and understandably, Id say- less features, at least at the beginning. And you won't need to leave AoJ to enjoy that.

@@oscarjimenezgarrido7591 I had a hunch that you were going to be sharing that. It will certainly be a game changer! Count me in if you're needing testers.

Thor here - we've come a long way since that design so I shouldn't complain too much then! 🙂

Thor here - Thanks for watching!

Thor here - Ouch! That's my real voice, attributes given in the description for other's content when used, some stock footage and original footage, too. We cover Apple but we also cover the other big players to those breaking new ground.

Thor here - Oops! I missed that as I thought Canada would have been in the initial launch. I did see in this Mashable article (mashable.com/article/apple-vision-pro-launch) where people from Europe came over to avoid the wait!

@@WorknTheVerse yup my boss amongst them 😆

Thor here - There was no expectation to buy and no sales pitch! One employee I was chatting with earlier even asked for my impressions on my way out and not once said, "so, are you going to buy?"

Thor here - thanks for watching!

@yogesvrofficial Reached out to your support address.

Thor here - So cool to hear that you found something that could work for you. And if you took the plunge to buy, you'll have to let us know how it goes!

Thor here - great idea on WebXR. This approach seems to be getting more interest again and with AVP, I wouldn't be surprised to see more developers jumping onboard.

Thor here - crazy, huh?

@@WorknTheVerse year🤣

Thor here - thank goodness, right? 😃

Thor here - Got it and thanks for the update!

Thor here - thanks for watching and I appreciate the encouragement.

Thor here - welcome to the world of VR and the Binbok T3. The battery design is cool and as others have said, you can now try VR lying down, too. I wouldn't recommend doing that with Asgard's Wrath 2. 😁

That game made me so sick i couldnt play it anymore, i was also a Virgin vr enthusiast untill recently​ now getting the bobo strap!@@WorknTheVerse

@ease868 The BoboVR M3 certainly does this. There's also an option to wear it without the face plate - it's akin to the Quest Pro design. The one time I tried it, I wasn't a big fan of it. Hard to get the 'sweet' spot right. Now that I have prescription lenses for my Q3, doesn't make sense to try it again - ruclips.net/video/-37k49qTzlQ/видео.html

@@WorknTheVerse thank you very much for that feedback! Will look in getting me one

@@ease868 ​ FYI - I tried flipping it up compared to my Q2 version and there is a bit less clearance for the Q3 but its manageable. One thing I've found though is with the Q3 passthrough when talking to people they don't seem nearly as bothered compared to the Q2. Probably because you're actually looking at them directly vs. 'guessing' in the Q2.

@@WorknTheVerse share holders in my company are still old school If they talk to me they want to see my eyes

@@WorknTheVerse do you have a picture what it looks like flipped up?

Thor here - thanks for watching!
