I am a Quest-hole Now - Meta Quest 3 Review

10:48 There are actually 3 microphones, one on the front for noise cancelling and 2 hidden in the gap on the faceplate for picking up your voice. This gap is also an air-intake so when the fan spools up mic quality drops substantially.

I do respect he spent this much money on the R&D for the Headset. Most other companies would have just sold it as is. And update it based on user feedback over the course of a decade or two.

I got the Quest 3 recently, after having 5 years on the CV1. I had my doubts but I was absolutely sold the moment it booted up and I was shown my room. Part of why I still didnt use VR a lot was because the lack of vision to the real world, essentially its like having a big blindfold on at all times in VR. This changes everything.

Having used a quest 2 for 2 years or so, the switch to quest 3 was amazing. No more shuffling around to prevent flattening my cat who really loves sleeping under my feet when I'm in VR, no more worrying about getting the IPD perfect and having to adjust over and over to find the sweet spot. Absolutely superior looking visuals in every way.

"Just like The Zuck envisioned!" 🤣

I recognised Adam's voice before I did his face without the beard! And I agree with him. A virtual workspace with passthrough seems amazing. Especially if one could move and resize screens on the fly.

Having gone real hard into VR when Windows Mixed Reality launched and not upgrading since, the Quest 3 has been absolutely revolutionary. WMR was such a hassle to boot up, set up, and use. For anyone who jumped on the WMR train or an equal lower cost/budget headset when VR started to take root and has stepped away since, I think the Quest 3 is something that will bring you back and impress you.

Having an Index, a Reverb G2 with it's own extra set of lighthouses and knuckles, and now the Quest 3, I can rather confidently give the nod to the Quest 3 so far. The ability to use the Quest 3 standalone, and even more importantly wireless to my PC has made it firmly into my daily driver. Just losing the need to have my position constantly in the back of my mind to track the wire even with a full pulley system, and the associated light tugs on my head as I moved, has been such a massive increase in immersion that exceeded expectations massively. Passthrough is also far more convenient and useful than I even expected. More time will tell, but I am fully endorsing Quest 3 at this time.

I had the Oculus Rift S prior to buying the Quest 3, and its such a ridiculously massive upgrade in 95% of cases. Loving it, and i bought it day 1.

After having PSVR and then PSVR 2 for few months (sold it because Sony definitely forgot about it) I'm blown away by the Quest 3. As a PCVR gamer I wanted this basically for well, gaming on PC. The wireless connection through Virtual Desktop is flawless. I didn't know that in 2023 we can already have so good graphics and latency over wifi. The other thing is the headset itself. Great software and hardware. I have many games that I intended to play on PCVR but just bought them on Meta store - the graphics is so good. Love it.

I love when linus talks about VR so that more people get into the cool industry and it gets a lot more developed. Love you, Linus!

Already spent more time on my Q3 than the total of my Q1. Awesome device! Really shows how the future for VR/AR is shaping up.

it's incredible how far VR has come, and it's nice to see how Mixed Reality is the wild west like VR was in 2016, it makes it even more exciting

Worked on the pass-through camera color for a while, and my good friend was the optical designer who designed the pancake lens. Kudos to her for making such nice optics. Glad ppl like it, cuz I thought the camera was a little bit janky...

Quest 3 has renewed my enjoyment of virtual reality. I put less than 10 hours into my PlayStation VR in 4 years... But it was just a hassle to have to move my table, get all the wires hooked up, make sure my area was clear, and try to keep my dogs out of the way... Quest free requires so much less space, and I can do it anywhere wire free with the option to go pcvr.... The fact that I just put the headset on and boom it's ready to go, I really can't complain.

You’re really trying to sell a thin ass jacket for $250……

When we look at the Rift CV1 and the HTV Vive those headsets were both really amazingly well rounded for their time. These days it is more of them doing certain things well but falling short on other areas.
