Quest 3 has launched. I'm obviously excited but I def don't think its for everyone. It's quite expensive. I spent $1000 for it and the strap. Ouch. Also I'm keeping a close eye on the Immersed Visor. I REALLY REALLY want the headset to be everything that's promised but after seeing hype trains and disappointment by quite a few companies before.. I gotta do my due diligence. I will try my hardest to get a unit and see what's up. Thanks guys.
I woke up launch morning just waiting for the email to say pre-orders are live. Had the coin set aside for months. Look forward to getting mine, my Quest 2 got alot of use. Most fun was sharing it with friends/family and watching their reactions. Thanks for all your hard work Thrill, always appreciated :D
Yeah, games have gotten quite a bit bigger. I originally ordered a 128gb but cancelled for a 512 when I remembered how big some of the news games are @@Alcatraz509
Thrill you can’t be a Meta ambassador because you are an ambassador for VR enthusiasts in general, and the two roles aren’t always on the same side. I don’t mind that we have to wait for launch to get your review - it’s better than getting an early review that’s basically just an ad. Keep up the awesome work
The public needs to be aware of this program by Meta. It's a method for the manufacturer to influence "reviews" of their products. Reviewers who are critical of Meta's products risk losing membership or were never offered membership in the first place. And losing membership means losing early access to review samples among other benefits. This is straight up bribery by the manufacturer. Any reviewer who has signed up for the program has compromised their integrity to get more views and their reviews can not be trusted because they have a conflict of interest. That means Meta is effectively controlling the early reviews of their products. Honest reviews won't be available until after the product is available to the general public. And honest reviewers are taking a hit to their views by not participating.
@@SargonDragonNone of what is currently available is a "review" dumbass... 🤦 It's all just early access looks from press events. Nobody has the headset for review yet. And saying that people like Mike from Virtual Reality Oasis have been "bought" and are "untrustworthy" simply because they agreed to attend said events feels like a GROSS misrepresentation and exaggeration of reality.
Yeah I’d rather wait the extra weeks for a top-quality review I can actually trust from Thrill than watch a review from someone being paid/influenced by the manufacturer.
Just want to say Thrill, don't feel the need to apologize for not being in the group of content creators given early access to the quest 3. Meta is a powerful company that many of us still do not trust. It's actually a GOOD THING in my opinion that you weren't chosen: you're going to given a truly honest opinion. Keep up the coverage! Excited to hear more thoughts about it all.
I preordered a Q3 and gave my Q2 to my son who's off at college. We'll be using them for Automobolista 2 where he kicks my butt. I thought about doing a higher end headset this go round, but the Quest working both with PC and standalone as well as being a mature product line made me think that would be the way to go. That said some of those higher end solutions look really promising!
honestly the "mature product line" part is something many don't often mention so many times I've been excited for a headset only for it to be hit with delay after delay because the company behind it doesn't have the infrastructure set up yet is very annoying, its got to the point where I only consider headsets from the big players, Valve, HTC, and meta, as good as something like the big screen beyond looks, I've been burned by smaller companies biting off more then they can chew to many times and out of the big 3, meta is in the lead, HTC has fallen from grace a lot and Valve is taking A VERY long time to cook up the Deckard, so meta is just at the top right now you may notice I didn't mention pico, and thats as simple as any device that comes from a company with bytedance behind it is one I am just not even going to consider
@@flamingscar5263 Imagine strapping a high tech device from china that close to your retinas. More people should be aware that ALL big chinese companies are state companies.
Please don't apologise for not being part of Meta's shill program. I watch your videos because of your passion and honesty, the information you deliver about VR is second to none and your integrity is unquestionable. Not being part of the access media is definitely a value-add for your channel, even if we have to wait a little bit longer.
I stopped watching every RUclips channel that joined Meta's Ambassador program. And so should everyone else if they're looking for honest opinions about VR products. The program offers benefits to channels who will talk up Meta's products, so this is straight up bribery. Good on Thrillseeker for not being a participant in that sort of thing.
There are plenty of reasons, NDAs, and so on... It might be also he didn`t want to sign a few docs that could go against his own vision of journalism, big corps always try to "silence" criticism, one way or another, and if you check all reviews, they are, well, similar.
@@shippy1001 most "reviews" are just reading off Meta's own press releases and specs sheet. Completely worthless. Norm form Tested is the only one who went much more in depth with how he *felt* about the damn thing.
I tried to use Quest 2 for work, but not single characteristics of device was ready to use for work. Like, resolution and fov to low with very small sweat spot, to heavy and hot, setting up mobile wifi every time take to much time.
I was kind of thinking that too. The visor looks amazing but its not here yet. I always found productivity apps like immersed to be almost great, but not quite there. Realistically I think its down to the onboard computing power of the quest 2. i'd like to think the lenses, extra 2GB of ram in the quest 3 and colour passthrough ought to help run these apps more smoothly. People say they have been using quest pro for this sort of thing, so this can only be better.
I have the Pico 4. As a standalone is quite lacking, and usb support for tethered VR is not as good and defined as using Virtual Desktop. Virtual Desktop tethered is doable, but gives me BSOD on my pc, so I won't recommend it. Hopefully will improve overtime, to become the best cheap alternative for PCVR.
@@ThrillSeekerVR Nah, i returned the Pico 4. It's just not as balanced and optimised as the Quest line. I'll stick with Quest. They are also investing so much more in the VR so it's a better ecosystem to be in for the future.
Excited to see your review of the Quest 3, honestly it's better you're not a Meta ambassador because reviews are more trustworthy with no incentive and your own money going toward purchasing the product.
Awesome video so excited for VR. Especially new quest 3. I'm surprised you aren't sponsored by quest and that you're not as big as some other content creators as you said. Crazy you say that because I've been following since your early days and you've always made the best VR content! Always un biased, full of information, and very entertaining. Thank you ❤
Your coverage is always special and unique.. please bring on the Aero/BSB/Crystal comparison , love your reviews which as always great and super honest :D
I really appreciate that Thrill always takes his time to post a good video for us to make sure there's every info you can find about vr rn and not just the most popular headsets currently
Great video thrill seeker I've been subscribed and watching for so long!! Im so hyped for this new quest; if I ever can get a quest again then this would be an upgrade over my old ones that got stolen, it would be a dream come true !!
I'm buying the Quest 3 as my first VR headset. Have demoed the PSVR, Oculus Rift, and Valve Index in the past but none of them were at a level of comfort, usability, and quality that I wanted so I've been waiting. I'm really excited to finally dive fully into VR and see what's out there. My only concern is the lack of "real" games in the traditional sense. Hoping my free copy of AW2 will be good!
that's amazing, I do not need to search and watch more VR news separately, all I need is to watch your news where there is everything allin1 :) Thank You!
You wont, its the best device on the market for that price and pico wont even come close to that in the future. Quest has the best games and library and software
I agree with the Visor, but the Intel CEO was wearing one during the Intel keynote people say and I saw at least a picture of it. Certainly gives it far more legitimacy than this fake teaser don't you think?
@@divinelyshpongled So you say there is no difference between a mockup teaser video and the Intel CEO wearing a prototype of the device promoting it during the keynote...?
Definitely picking up a Quest 3. Excited that BoboVR is making an M3 strap for it, and even making a compatibility kit to use an M2 strap with the new headset!
Just preordered it the other day. Got the quest 2 a few years back and have loved every minute in that thing so when I saw everything new and improved about the quest 3 I jumped straight for it. Can't wait to try out all the new features and improvements and compare to see the differences between the two.
Same boat as you, except i only use the quest with pcvr, even without using the standalone part it’s still an outstanding value, so I’m excited to see what’s going on with the 3
@@biosupdate7449 Yeah, I use it for pcvr too but sadly my computer isn’t too powerful so I end up needing to turn settings down despite me thinking a laptop with an rtx 3070ti would be good enough. Hoping double the graphics power means that gap will be filled enough that I won’t mind a complete switch to standalone and we hopefully see more ports of games that required too much more graphics power to run on quest 1 and 2.
When you do your Aero, BSB, Crystal comparison, please use the index as your baseline so we know how each one compares as an upgrade path. Would be really helpful to have something to compare them all to
-BSB if you want a lightweight headset that you don't intend to share -Now with the price drop, the Aero is the cheapest and has the most accurate eye tracking. -The Crystal is the only one with a refresh rate above 90Hz, and it also lets you use both base stations and inside-out tracking if you have the attachment for it. But it is also at least $600 more and extremely large/clunky.
As a casual Quest 2 owner I'm all in on Quest 3. I'll wait to see if third party addons match the charging dock and headstrap with battery and so on. But still undecided on the 128gb or 512gb. The price for the bigger one really is significant for me and its not like I'm a daily VR user. I have been impressed by it though and I'm excited. Really ready for upgrade, even getting the official lenses so I don't need to wear glasses, yay!
well i ended up going for the 512GB headset and found out I couldn't have the lenses that Meta promoted as my prescription falls out of its range by a teeny tiny amount. Thankfully there are other companies offering or about to offer lenses who have better technology in making them so just waiting a while for that settle then will get a pair. Be good to hear feedback through reviews on if there are any differences or if pretty much all the companies are offering roughly the same and price really is all it will come down to@@swayde1228
Great video Thrill! It feels like VR is going to get even more interesting in the next couple of years, especially with AI and AI-centric tech being developed at an accelerating pace. Also, there was a small graphic error at 5:40, you said commented on the price of the elite battery strap but displayed the standard elite strap, which is 69.99 instead of 129.99. Love your content, cant wait to see what you have coming down the pipeline!
I always enjoy watching your videos so thank you for putting the time into your content! In my case, I've preordered the Q3 and planning of giving my Q2 to my daughter. I really need that passthrough quality upgrade and seems to be a good option in this case. Now, I hope it delivers at least enough so I can read the characters on my keyboard? lol
Mostly just allows them to sell a version with higher profit margins. Both still only have 8 GB RAM suggesting neither is being futureproofed for future games.
The Aero is really interesting considering that it's visually one of the best headsets AND it's got eye tracking so it's future-proof and ready for foveated rendering to become standard.
Honestly, even with the quest 3 finally out I think I would only upgrade to the new controllers just for better tracking. The headset does look amazing but nothing that big to convince me to buy the entire headset. I'm actually saving up to buy a set of base stations, full body tracking, and my headset that I'm aiming for is the Big Screen Beyond itself. I honestly think that the big screen beyond will fix my problems regarding the size, weight, and comfort. But I don't know, I'm kind of rambling. Thrill has convinced me to "Aim for the Beyond" lol
I was seriously considering the beyond, but changed my mind about it because i realized that I really really want wireless. People have issues having to buy new cables even if cables are attached at ceiling and stuff.
@@Kana_108_ Yeah, I get that. Wireless IS actually really helpful to not think about tripping lol But I've gotten used to using the quest link for over 5ish years. When the first Oculus quest came out I would always use it while it was on the charger because of the battery life. The OG Quest cable was much longer than the quest 2 was. I'm willing to loose the wireless experience.
(QUEST 3)Seems like a revision to me tbh like they just added color to the cameras and made the displays a little bit better. (i have a high end gaming pc and mostly play in pcvr so the new proccesing chip doesn't matter to me much)
As a VRChat world creator, what I'm most excited about regarding the Quest 3 is the 8 GB of RAM. The Quest 2's 6 GB was always just a TINY bit shy of "enough" for VRChat, so that's why every Quest user always crashes: the headset runs out of memory. That shouldn't happen anymore on Quest 3, so i won't have to worry nearly as much about over-optimizing RAM usage in all my worlds, or hearing tons of complaints about crashing.
I was interested in making characters for VRchat. I use CC4 and iclone a lot and have a bunch of characters i would like to convert over. Ive never actually used VRChat but ive seen it a bunch and just ordered a Q3. Any idea on what limits i should look out for and any tips?
If the secret "Tech Giant" is Apple and this is their plan for the "space-vr" thing… it could be huge. In fact, it positions Apple as the boss that sets standards and sells the expensive items… while others just follow their lead.
Why would Apple work with someone else to make a competitor to their own upcoming product? And for $500? Whatever you are on you should pass it around.
Is there something I don't know about the Somnium VR1 that's apparently on it's way to be released soon that is having it be so un-talked about? Is there something about it that sucks that I don't know? Cause it seems promising but no one's breathing a word about it.
Yeah, I'm waiting for it as well. I think main reasons why people don't talk about it as much is 1) it seemed similar to decagear - too good to be true at first, then small company failing to deliver (which I think Somnium is way further, so it will actually happen!) and 2) we still don't know price... not even roughly - I think (hope) it would be under 1000 euro/usd, but more people expect it around 2k ...without this information, you don't know to what to compare it and make any judgements.
@@Nachtom I would've atleast expected some people to cover it's recent info update. But given how little people seem to care about it it makes me worry that no one will review it. Because I'm not shelling out the money until I know it's good. But if no one reviews it that's a bit of a predicament. I'm kinda hoping Thrill will, but the lack of coverage worries me he won't.
@@Secarious I think it will get publicity after more information is released - like price or release date. MRTV was doing interview with creators of VR1, so at least there will be a review 100%. They are also planning to do presentation of VR1 for some VR influencers, and all about it is secret I guess, so they maybe can't talk about it now, but they will when they are allowed to. :)
HI man, I also love the immersed application. the idea to have have multiple screens to work on really amazes me. I have to buy my first headset, but I want to be sure I can use to play but more importantly to work so I was disappointed when discovered quest 3 with commercial price did not included the eye traking for the foaved rendering. I really dont know if it could still be usable to work if I cant move my eyes and the better detailed part of screen isnt rendered where Im looking at. could you please give me aome more info abou this issue? like, which headset donyou use with the immersed application? And, would it still be bearable with an headset that does not feature eyetraking with foaved rendering? very appreciated and thank for the quality videos 💪
Still reluctant to buy anything from Meta or ByteDance but I'm super intrigued by whether Valve may release their own standalone headset after the Steam Deck
Quest 3 over any pico all day. The only thing pico does is spec it up with hardware, but software wise they are nowhere. Library wise neither. Quest aka Meta is going ALL IN on VR and their library and apps are SO much BETTER
For PCVR only users then there's a strong argument to be made for the Pico headsets, but if you use standalone at all then Quest will give you a much better experience
I'll stick to Quest for the future. Meta is investing so much more into VR. And Pico being Chinese, no thanks! Quest has always been better balanced, have better lenses and overal better optimised!
The Chinese markets have become increasingly unstable since COVID. And the Chinese government consistently act in ways that are against basic civil liberties and human rights. There are plenty of reasons to be anti Chinese that doesn't involve race.
How is the quest better balanced? Pico literally has the battery on the back, the pico 5 releasing in 6 months will have the same chip, pancake lenses gen 2, eye and mouth tracking and Display Port connection
Pico 4 wireless with VD is exactly what I do now! Next upgrade will be when there's a perfect headset for productivity, high resolution, non-LCD displays with great contrast etc, something to truly be immersed into, even watch movies on a virtual cinema screen etc. Oh and no requirement for expensive impossible to get hardware like steam controllers. I'll definitely be watching the next PCVR comparison, and seeing what happens next year in that space.
Great video as always, glad to see you are alive and breathing! Would have been interested to hear a bit more about valve deckard rumours with the steamvr update.
I wish there's a VR store or experience center in NYC, with all these products on display and invite people to experience. That will be so neat and get lots of traction.
Will really look forward to the Bigscreen Beyond and Varjo Aero comparison as I'm recently looking into getting the Bigscreen as my first headset but if Varjo is better would be nice to know. I enjoy your videos and thanks for all you do.
I'm glad the virtual desktop/monitor replacement is being experimented with still. Something I've been wanting for a long time. Just not sure if it is there yet.
Quest 3 has launched. I'm obviously excited but I def don't think its for everyone. It's quite expensive. I spent $1000 for it and the strap. Ouch. Also I'm keeping a close eye on the Immersed Visor.

Just preordered it the other day. Got the quest 2 a few years back and have loved every minute in that thing so when I saw everything new and improved about the quest 3 I jumped straight for it. Can't wait to try out all the new features and improvements and compare to see the differences between the two.
Same boat as you, except i only use the quest with pcvr, even without using the standalone part it’s still an outstanding value, so I’m excited to see what’s going on with the 3
@@biosupdate7449 Yeah, I use it for pcvr too but sadly my computer isn’t too powerful so I end up needing to turn settings down despite me thinking a laptop with an rtx 3070ti would be good enough. Hoping double the graphics power means that gap will be filled enough that I won’t mind a complete switch to standalone and we hopefully see more ports of games that required too much more graphics power to run on quest 1 and 2.
Here’s hoping Phasmophobia can run on quest now
When you do your Aero, BSB, Crystal comparison, please use the index as your baseline so we know how each one compares as an upgrade path. Would be really helpful to have something to compare them all to
-BSB if you want a lightweight headset that you don't intend to share
-Now with the price drop, the Aero is the cheapest and has the most accurate eye tracking.
-The Crystal is the only one with a refresh rate above 90Hz, and it also lets you use both base stations and inside-out tracking if you have the attachment for it. But it is also at least $600 more and extremely large/clunky.
Just pre-ordered the Quest 3, but learning it doesn't have local dimming to fix the black levels was heart crushing.
love your work and passion for this content bro! much love
As a casual Quest 2 owner I'm all in on Quest 3. I'll wait to see if third party addons match the charging dock and headstrap with battery and so on. But still undecided on the 128gb or 512gb. The price for the bigger one really is significant for me and its not like I'm a daily VR user. I have been impressed by it though and I'm excited. Really ready for upgrade, even getting the official lenses so I don't need to wear glasses, yay!
Been trying to decide which lenses to buy but it's so early there's not much to go off
well i ended up going for the 512GB headset and found out I couldn't have the lenses that Meta promoted as my prescription falls out of its range by a teeny tiny amount. Thankfully there are other companies offering or about to offer lenses who have better technology in making them so just waiting a while for that settle then will get a pair. Be good to hear feedback through reviews on if there are any differences or if pretty much all the companies are offering roughly the same and price really is all it will come down to@@swayde1228
This year is only just getting started for big VR news. 🎉
YES
But this year is almost over...only 3 months left.
Great video Thrill! It feels like VR is going to get even more interesting in the next couple of years, especially with AI and AI-centric tech being developed at an accelerating pace. Also, there was a small graphic error at 5:40, you said commented on the price of the elite battery strap but displayed the standard elite strap, which is 69.99 instead of 129.99. Love your content, cant wait to see what you have coming down the pipeline!
I always enjoy watching your videos so thank you for putting the time into your content!
In my case, I've preordered the Q3 and planning of giving my Q2 to my daughter. I really need that passthrough quality upgrade and seems to be a good option in this case. Now, I hope it delivers at least enough so I can read the characters on my keyboard? lol
The 512GB headset makes me think there will be some massive games coming out soon, that’s what I hope anyway
Mostly just allows them to sell a version with higher profit margins. Both still only have 8 GB RAM suggesting neither is being futureproofed for future games.
@@jeffreytongAsgards wrath is about 35gb I think. Along with all the upgrades to textures and other games like Assassins creed 512gb is essential!
The visor is crazy!
And nonexistent... let's see if it ever comes out
Great work thrill. You are the go to content creator for VR. Your takes are on point.
Another great video as expected. Thrill you always make great content
Loved the video
Damn I feel old reading back on this comment, 30 seconds is a long time 😮
9 seconds and i got a notification
Well done youtube thats a first
Can't wait to see what Valve cooks up.
The Aero is really interesting considering that it's visually one of the best headsets AND it's got eye tracking so it's future-proof and ready for foveated rendering to become standard.
Honestly, even with the quest 3 finally out I think I would only upgrade to the new controllers just for better tracking. The headset does look amazing but nothing that big to convince me to buy the entire headset. I'm actually saving up to buy a set of base stations, full body tracking, and my headset that I'm aiming for is the Big Screen Beyond itself. I honestly think that the big screen beyond will fix my problems regarding the size, weight, and comfort. But I don't know, I'm kind of rambling. Thrill has convinced me to "Aim for the Beyond" lol
I was seriously considering the beyond, but changed my mind about it because i realized that I really really want wireless.
People have issues having to buy new cables even if cables are attached at ceiling and stuff.
@@Kana_108_ Yeah, I get that. Wireless IS actually really helpful to not think about tripping lol
But I've gotten used to using the quest link for over 5ish years. When the first Oculus quest came out I would always use it while it was on the charger because of the battery life. The OG Quest cable was much longer than the quest 2 was. I'm willing to loose the wireless experience.
(QUEST 3)Seems like a revision to me tbh like they just added color to the cameras and made the displays a little bit better. (i have a high end gaming pc and mostly play in pcvr so the new proccesing chip doesn't matter to me much)
As a VRChat world creator, what I'm most excited about regarding the Quest 3 is the 8 GB of RAM. The Quest 2's 6 GB was always just a TINY bit shy of "enough" for VRChat, so that's why every Quest user always crashes: the headset runs out of memory. That shouldn't happen anymore on Quest 3, so i won't have to worry nearly as much about over-optimizing RAM usage in all my worlds, or hearing tons of complaints about crashing.
I was interested in making characters for VRchat. I use CC4 and iclone a lot and have a bunch of characters i would like to convert over. Ive never actually used VRChat but ive seen it a bunch and just ordered a Q3. Any idea on what limits i should look out for and any tips?
Already preordered that shii the SECOND it came out. Upgrading from a rift CV1, so I’ve been waiting a long time for this!
If the secret "Tech Giant" is Apple and this is their plan for the "space-vr" thing… it could be huge. In fact, it positions Apple as the boss that sets standards and sells the expensive items… while others just follow their lead.
Lol
Why would Apple work with someone else to make a competitor to their own upcoming product? And for $500? Whatever you are on you should pass it around.
That's pretty far fetched. Apple has no history of doing anything like that. And it's hard to see any way Apple would benefit.
So hyped. I jump ship immediately if valve launches anything but hay quest 3 good looking
got my Q3 preorder but I'm also ready to jump ship to Pico5 if the specs are legit.
Next time valve releases a headset i'm taking that shit to my grave
Valve is currently working on the valve index 2 , so we just need to wait
When VR has you time travelling back to Tuesday
You just made my school lockdown way more entertaining.
Is there something I don't know about the Somnium VR1 that's apparently on it's way to be released soon that is having it be so un-talked about? Is there something about it that sucks that I don't know? Cause it seems promising but no one's breathing a word about it.
Yeah, I'm waiting for it as well. I think main reasons why people don't talk about it as much is 1) it seemed similar to decagear - too good to be true at first, then small company failing to deliver (which I think Somnium is way further, so it will actually happen!) and 2) we still don't know price... not even roughly - I think (hope) it would be under 1000 euro/usd, but more people expect it around 2k ...without this information, you don't know to what to compare it and make any judgements.
@@Nachtom I would've atleast expected some people to cover it's recent info update. But given how little people seem to care about it it makes me worry that no one will review it. Because I'm not shelling out the money until I know it's good. But if no one reviews it that's a bit of a predicament. I'm kinda hoping Thrill will, but the lack of coverage worries me he won't.
@@Secarious I think it will get publicity after more information is released - like price or release date. MRTV was doing interview with creators of VR1, so at least there will be a review 100%. They are also planning to do presentation of VR1 for some VR influencers, and all about it is secret I guess, so they maybe can't talk about it now, but they will when they are allowed to. :)
@@Nachtom I sure hope so.
Me personally, very impressed with the quest 3. But gonna wait for quest 4, bc maybe it'll come with eye tracking for that sweet sweet dfr.
Love your vids bro stuff is actually really helpful
As it is a Friday, this is a nice Tuesday newsday
Wow this entire video was so cool!
it came out about 30 seconds before you made this comment you physically cannot have watched it lmao
@@arcnetiveI watched it on x840 speed
@@Ocisorgot damn!!!
@@arcnetiveGot em
HI man, I also love the immersed application. the idea to have have multiple screens to work on really amazes me. I have to buy my first headset, but I want to be sure I can use to play but more importantly to work so I was disappointed when discovered quest 3 with commercial price did not included the eye traking for the foaved rendering. I really dont know if it could still be usable to work if I cant move my eyes and the better detailed part of screen isnt rendered where Im looking at. could you please give me aome more info abou this issue? like, which headset donyou use with the immersed application? And, would it still be bearable with an headset that does not feature eyetraking with foaved rendering? very appreciated and thank for the quality videos 💪
always a good day when a Tuesday Newsday comes out
My son and I could not stop laughing at the over-exaggerated overly enthusiastic cheers at random points for little things😂😂
Still reluctant to buy anything from Meta or ByteDance but I'm super intrigued by whether Valve may release their own standalone headset after the Steam Deck
Quest 3 over any pico all day. The only thing pico does is spec it up with hardware, but software wise they are nowhere. Library wise neither. Quest aka Meta is going ALL IN on VR and their library and apps are SO much BETTER
For PCVR only users then there's a strong argument to be made for the Pico headsets, but if you use standalone at all then Quest will give you a much better experience
Thrill! I was worried you werent going to post and leave us hanging. Appreciate you bb. 🔥
wooo cant wait for the final bigscreen beyond review, hope its been treating you well
I'll stick to Quest for the future. Meta is investing so much more into VR. And Pico being Chinese, no thanks! Quest has always been better balanced, have better lenses and overal better optimised!
me when racism
@@tatugasshow6047to be honest I think it is much more complicated than racism. I think boiling it down to racism missed out a lot of the nuance
The Chinese markets have become increasingly unstable since COVID. And the Chinese government consistently act in ways that are against basic civil liberties and human rights. There are plenty of reasons to be anti Chinese that doesn't involve race.
having to order one from overseas isa definite negative, also the lack of real standalone stuff on the headset
How is the quest better balanced? Pico literally has the battery on the back, the pico 5 releasing in 6 months will have the same chip, pancake lenses gen 2, eye and mouth tracking and Display Port connection
I liked my own comment
And I liked yours
@@difficulthail516and I liked yours
awesome
Looking forward to your videos on this. I did pre-order as well, but worst case my kids can use it if something better comes out this year.
Pico 4 wireless with VD is exactly what I do now! Next upgrade will be when there's a perfect headset for productivity, high resolution, non-LCD displays with great contrast etc, something to truly be immersed into, even watch movies on a virtual cinema screen etc. Oh and no requirement for expensive impossible to get hardware like steam controllers. I'll definitely be watching the next PCVR comparison, and seeing what happens next year in that space.
Quest 3 > Any pico. Pico is Chinese garbage to me.
I look forward to your videos every single week even if it's been longer recently
Was waiting for you to drop a video on this! 😆
Loved the connect event. I’ll be preordering a quest 3. Can’t wait to play mixed reality demeo on my coffee table 😁
Great video as always, glad to see you are alive and breathing! Would have been interested to hear a bit more about valve deckard rumours with the steamvr update.
I wish there's a VR store or experience center in NYC, with all these products on display and invite people to experience. That will be so neat and get lots of traction.
Can’t believe it’s only Tuesday! I have such an exciting week ahead of me!!
I'll wait till the holodeck
At some point in the future the starting coffee sequence will probably be more complex than the computers of today. Looking forward to it.
Very happy, already preordered the headset with the elite battery strap. Totally ready to get back into VR with some better equipment
been waiting all day for this video
I can not wait for that comparison video please comparison video asap
Will really look forward to the Bigscreen Beyond and Varjo Aero comparison as I'm recently looking into getting the Bigscreen as my first headset but if Varjo is better would be nice to know. I enjoy your videos and thanks for all you do.
I'm glad the virtual desktop/monitor replacement is being experimented with still. Something I've been wanting for a long time. Just not sure if it is there yet.
Tuesday+48h
Immersed Visor also raised the price of pre-orders by a lot from the original price. And close to no info out on them
