  I think people underestimate the ingenuity of developers.  With the release of the Quest 3 and imminent release of the Vision Pro we now have a low end and high end device to develop for.  With the challenges of entering mobile a lot people are searching for new blue oceans.  Thi…

  Hot take time: I think VR is going to dominate the video game industry in a few years.  The tech is getting better and with Apple entering the market it'll normalize these wearable computers on our heads.  Only issue is having the killer apps to back it up. …

  I really want to try Meta's Quest 3 after reading @imdavidpierce's review.  Seems like mixed reality stuff still isn't great, though; will it ever get good?

  I reviewed the Meta Quest 3, which is both my favorite VR headset yet and... still just a VR headset https://www.theverge.com/...

  It's been a solid week since I've had the Meta Quest 3 and I can say it's the best VR headset you can buy today. The image clarity and tracking quality are superb, and the game library is unmatched. I just hate that it needs accessories #MetaQuest3 #vr https://www.androidcentral.…

  @Lunayian @EricPresidentVR It really makes the Quest Pro seem embarrassing in comparison. Removing the depth sensor in that and charging $1500 for it on release were major missteps

• @gwanatu Nicholas Sutrich on x

  A lot of great games already have Quest 3 enhancements but one really stands out for me right now: @populationonevr The additional clarity almost amounts to a competitive advantage. I also can't believe how dang DETAILED some of these textures area!

• @benz145 Ben Lang on x

  Most meaningful improvement to Quest 3 passthrough over Quest Pro is significantly better exposure control. [video]

• @benz145 Ben Lang on x

  Weird seeing all the Quest 3 pics from creators on Twitter when we were told we can't post pictures before the review embargo. I think some folks are being given a different set of guidelines 😅

• @benz145 Ben Lang on x

  With the power of XR2G2, Quest 3 still stutters in the system menu with no apps running in the background. Also my avatar was T-posing in the mirror. Also the default home enviornment for Quest 3 has textures that aren't high enough res for the headset. It's the little details👌

  Here's my Quest 3 review. It's an excellent VR headset - arguably the overall best you can buy - but its mixed reality is only just passable.

• @vr_oasis @vr_oasis on x

  Hot take. Mixed Reality gameplay footage looks rubbish unless you live in an IKEA showhome 🥲

• @antaormina Anthony Taormina on x

  I'm still working on my review but I've been playing with the Quest 3 a lot. It's a really great VR headset that is very adaptable and precise. I think VR is still a niche category but if you are a fan of the experience you won't be disappointed.

• @id_aa_carmack John Carmack on x

  It is doing constant reprojection with a fairly coarse grid, and the cameras are lower frame rate than the display and not synchronized. It should get quite a bit better as the software matures, but there is a decent chance that just doing a single depth estimation for the entire…

• @benz145 Ben Lang on x

  This is on Quest 3 (please excuse my messy workshop). I understand the distortion, but why so much near-field stuttering? Is it constantly reprojecting? @ID_AA_Carmack [video]

• @vr_oasis @vr_oasis on x

  @Gwanatu @populationonevr Why isn't Meta providing a blog listing all the enhanced Q3 games!? Or a curated section on the store that shows enhanced games? I had no idea about this Pop1 update until this tweet 🙄

• @lunayian Luna on x

  @EricPresidentVR Most of the reviews seem more positive than the initial Quest 2 ones, surprisingly.

• @jimmysbowers @jimmysbowers on x

  Seen lots of VR creators and press talk about the crunch and stress to get reviews and impressions ready for the Quest 3 embargo dropping. We absolutely need to normalise giving content creators and press reasonable time to explore something for review. Three days isn't enough. […

• @awakentoast @awakentoast on x

  I truly wanted to test how well the Quest 3's tracking would perform outdoors with some AR content. So what better chance to test something than diving back into the world of Sword Art Online in REAL LIFE! Proud to say this headset definitely passed :) [video]

• @rduinoa @rduinoa on x

  As reviews for the Meta Quest 3 roll in, some comparisons with Apple Vision Pro seem to miss the mark—like, “It's 7x pricier, but is it 7x better?” This overlooks the extensive R&D needed to achieve even marginal improvements in new tech. I haven't had the chance to try either, b…

• @j_shepz @j_shepz on x

  No launch titles for Quest 3, just “your current library will look better” is a bold strategy

• @jetscott @jetscott on x

  Meta Quest 3 review, so far: clearly the best for its price, but how will Meta evolve it with better/more apps? Also, IMO, Quest 2 owners don't need the upgrade (yet) https://www.cnet.com/...

• @jhilburg Jon Wink on x

  I reviewed the Meta Quest 3, and it's good! But also kind of just... iteratively impressive rather than absolutely great: https://reviewed.usatoday.com/ ...
