For people with low lit rooms, you can buy small IR Illuminators for your room. Your eyes won't see any light, but it lights up the room for your headsets sensors.
@@Retronize84no but should increase ability to recognise the pass through from the device. Only lighting can help pass though cameras as they’re cameras with apertures not able for super low light
Can I say that your unbiased reviews recently have just been getting better and better. Really enjoyable to watch, well spoken and genuinely thought out. Bravo and keep it up!
Thank you! for adding many different perspectives of pass thru mode more so than most other reviews I've watched. The mode and mixed reality does look so sharp and useable
you can just buy 4 rechargeable AA batteries instead of buying a ton of regular ones, and keep the ones not in use perpetually plugged in. this is how I used my Q2 and will use it with the Q3, I would have gone through tons of batteries otherwise.
I believe, it depends on the voltage. Quest 2 controller requires 1.5v. I tried 1.2v rechargable battery, but as soon as it reached around 70%, the controller became unresponsive. Also, fully charged 1.2v battery only lasted 2-3 days. I bought normal 1.5v non-rechargeble one, and it lasted for over a month. I have not tried 1.5v rechargable one. Maybe that would be better. Which one did you have if you do not mind me asking?
@@krisztiand7409 I’ve got the 2300mAh Energizer Recharge Extreme ones, they’re relatively cheap and last for a pretty long time, at least with the Q2 controllers. my Q3 is coming next week, hope they’ll work with that as well.
@@krisztiand7409get lithium 1.5v rechargeables. I've used tenavolt on Q1 and Q2. They easily last as long as standard AA non rechargeables. Little expensive, but well worth it. They also recharge super fast.
It’s so nice to see people with positive reactions to the quest three. I’ve been a long time VR enthusiast and I’ve spent close to $10,000 on VR headsets and games and I will save the quest. Three is probably my favorite headset and not just for the money.
Ordered mine earlier today and I’m planning on making a few videos about it. Needless to say, this video was fantastically informative yet not too long
On quest 3, the software 4xvr has totally changed my life vr-wise. Finally someone made a program that can decode MVC 3D videos on the headset directly!!
augments: this was one of the best explained videos of it. i watched so many diffrent and it was none that said so well how the passthro was. and when i got one yeah you where spot on very good!
Great video. New subscriber. Its a million times more comfortable with the Elite Strap w battery. The only thing I disagree with is the battery life of the controllers. To me they last a super long time, especially when compared to how short the life is on the PSVR2. I dont mind getting a box of batteries from Costco versus dealing with the PSVR2 chargeable batteries.
Definitely disagree with the comment about the mixed reality being more of a tech demo. MR is all I do in quest now with this thing. From content to MR ping pong to MR pool to MR vegas infinite.. it's all I use it for now. Definitely the most widely used part of the headset... even if it does drain the battery faster.
You are definitely one of very few, the majority of people probably won’t be using MR until it’s been in the oven for awhile longer, there’s a severe lack of content for it, but that is to be expected as it is pretty much a new platform.
One of the best things I've learned about virtual reality, you do not ever remember playing the game, but remember being there instead. I am quite eager to see the results of this technology used playing Video games with the latest dynamic lighting. I am curious of the effects it will have on the human mind.
Great video, however I own many headsets, and there are a few things I should clarify about this video. Firstly, the PSVR 2 has much better graphics than the standalone quest 3!, and it's not really close. However, when you pair the quest 3 with your PC through link or virtual desktop and play pc games wirelessly or tether to your PC the quest 3 has graphics that are just as good as the PSVR 2 or slightly better with superior tracking and refresh rate as well as comfort. Secondly, Although the quest 3 is a standalone headset, in order to maximize the headset you have to pair it to a high end gaming pc. It is if you want to play beat Saber on a standalone quest 3 that's fine however games like The Walking Dead are way too intensive to play on standalone quest 3. You have to use quest link or virtual desktop and use your pc horsepower to stream it on your quest that way you will have a seamless experience. There is no getting used to motion sickness, you have to connect to PC and play the game at 120 Hertz per second so the smoothness removes the motion sickness. hope this helps
Motion sickness is not only related to frame rate. Ppl new to VR will often get dizzy/sick when walking and running in vr while standing in real life. This is normal and due to your inner ear balancing. It throws your brain off standing still while your eyes perceive forward motion. It can take a few days to get used to this. It has the term VR Legs.
@@davidnowhere2637 If it's similar to Quest 2 power use as others are saying, I'm using some 2600mWh lithium AA rechargeables (they have usb c ports on the side) on a daily basis and they last me weeks between charges. The new haptics might reduce that a bit despite using less LEDs I guess.
I just purchased my Quest 3. I was mostly attracted to the productivity potential, when buying. *I intend to apply this tech to interior design and 3D modeling jobs. Thanks for the smooth video, hits nice. Lol augments
Can tell you are new to quest. Welcome! However the part about AA batteries not lasting... thats just wrong. They have astronomically long battery life. Quest 2 lasted months on a battery. These are the same or longer!
5:13 you need to avoid using the right thumbstick to look around like you would on a flat screen…and actually turn around like in real life…if you are spinning around while playing you are doing it right…it will feel more immersive and get rid of motion sickness
And he said that this could be outdone by the Valve Index? Quest 3 beats the Index in almost every field, and it has Quest Link to play your favorite PCVR games.
This is quite literally the only review I've seen that claims this thing is comfortable. I've watched over 10 reviews now and everyone else complained about facial and ear comfort after short sessions.
@@MrWaddupbro I'm sure some reviews are influenced by Meta but not all of them. Many of the reviewers show the red marks on their face ans ears. But, everyone's head shape is different. I'll be getting one to test either way. Thanks for your review.
Some comments are a bit weird here. Now due to the delivery issues in europe i cant say first hand, but everybody seems to agree that the controllers last literal ages, while here it is claimed that the batteries would run out quickly and you should keep a stack of them around.. which makes me wonder how much was really tested, and how much was just assumed in the video. Also the slightly weird comparison to "more expensive and better headsets like the valve index".. i mean.. is the index really still something we should call good? Certainly not worth the asking price anymore. Other than the oled displays and the audio quality i dont think there is much the index has over, say the quest 3, which is not even a dedicated VR headset (as in, if you left out all the MR related stuff, it would probably be half the price). I dont expect wired VR to remain relevant either way, but that's a whole other topic.
Just on the audio quality of the quest 3 I think its great I actually forget its just coming through the headset.I have not even bothered to plug in my headphones.
Try it and if you don't like it return it. That's what I did with quest 2. I had it for a week and returned it as it was just to blurry and I couldn't see using it much. I will be getting the quest 3 at some point.
I cannot wear the quest 3 strap for more then an hour and It's just like the quest 2 headstrap except it's not plastic going into your skull.💀 Would recommend a better headstrap from either meta themselves or a 3th party company like bobovr. There are still games that hasn't been updated yet for quest 3. Walking dead is one of them. Also the valve index is NOTHING compared to quest 2/3. It might be true that the valve have stronger lenses and some "alright" controllers (i personally don't like them) But that's really it. you need 2 sensors to track the headset (200$ each) You need 2 controllers (200$ each) You need a headset (200$) You also need a strong yet powerful computer to handle VR (about 1000$) It is also very hard to take a valve anywhere. I do in fact have a longer list of reasons to not buy a valve over a quest But that would be a very long list soo... Just saying, want better tracking? Buy quest pro controllers
Before purchasing the Quest 3 I have two questions, since this is my first time purchasing a VR headset should I buy the 128 GB version or pay the extra $150 for the 512 GB version. Also is it worthwhile to purchase the Battery and Elite Strap or you are good without it?
From an actual usability standpoint the passthrough is the biggest deal. There is nothing quite like being able to walk around and do stuff with your handset on while interacting with virtual elements at the same time. The lenses are big too, but what other device can do this kind of passthrough right now? Only the AVP will surpass it anytime soon and it's a different class of device with different use cases.
@@Brian-ph7jg I'm sure the AVP will be great but 3500 is way out of many peoples range. The Quest 3 is such a great deal for what it can do. It can do 95% of the stuff that AVP can do for $3000 less.
$499 is such a great price for a standalone VR/AR device! If you wanted a PSVR2 you need to buy a $499 ps5 and then the PSVR2 for another $499. PC VR you need a powerful pc that cost over $1000 and then a headset that can cost up to another $1000. Apples upcoming headset is $3500. Meta hit a home run with quest 3.
Augments! lovely review 😊 I ordered the Meta Quest 3 512GB, 100% because of this video, so you should get some commission I think 🙂 Great video, you've got a new subscriber!
I've always been curious about VR lens but don't think I'll buy these because of my tendency to get dizzy easily. But as usual, great content. Very insightful! And yeah...augments!
if you are doing PCVR you may run into an issue in which SteamVR will display a line where one part of the screen is brighter than the other. I think it is a glitch as I am using a fiber optic link cable.
Not sure what you mean by the controllers not lasting long. My Quest 3 controllers are still at 100% after a few days and that's with the batteries that came with them
its honestly a plus for the removable batteries. Imagine if one battery goes out on ONE controller & you cant replace it & it costs $200 for a brand new controller? no thank you. I'd rather replace the AA battery for a FRACTION of the price.
To be honest is way better than anything else not just in vr/ar but the whole techs wise. Can't even find anything that have as much features pack in as Quest 2 for $300 or more, the only downside is that the software and support is very lacking compared to Phone and Pc. We only see like 1% Quest 2 capability and Quest 3 even have more stuff.
Holdon, you said you never had a Quest 2 but then right away you say how nice and smaller the new packaging is being half the size of Quest 2 packaging. Sounds like you did have or at least unbox a Quest 2 before.
I can read my phone and tablet and computer through the pass through however for some reason when installing a app on my windows computer I can not see what is in the box that just popped up, it just shows up as a blank white box but when I take off the headset I can read the screen perfectly. I’m currently using the color pass through as a second screen so I can have Spotify playing while I’m playing league of legends so I can switch songs easily, I just have to lean in to read the screen so I just avoid it unless it’s a ton of text then I’ll get real close to read it.
I love the title of this video, "I tried the Quest 3, so you don't have to" as if it was a hideous chore or something. That's like saying I went to Disney World and enjoyed all the rides so you don't have to, or I ate a 3lb Lobster and 16oz prime rib dinner so you don't have to, or I slept with 50 of the worlds most expensive call girls so you don't have to. Gee, thanks for the sacrifice guy. At the intro of this video you said you never even owned a Quest 1 or a Quest 2? Is this your first VR headset? I am a VR veteran at this point having every Oculus headset to date from the Rift CV1, to the Oculus Go, to the Quest 1, 2, and now 3. I also had the HTC Vive at launch and my first VR headset was the Samsung Gear VR that came free with my Samsung Galaxy 7. I already knew from experience that the Quest 3 was going to be a huge improvement over the Quest 2 and I preordered it as soon as it was available to do so. I love how so many late to the party, let's jump on the bandwagon now, RU-vid content creators are first discovering VR and starting to pump out videos about VR, when Jacksepticeye, Nathie, Cas and Charry, Steve Knows, Virtual Reality Oasis, Voodoo DE VR, and MRTV have all been providing VR content since 2016.
HI man, thanks for the video. Is usable to study an work with multiple desktop? Is text sharp? You said you worked with it for two hours but doing what?
