@ThomasOhm-fx2hl 5 месяцев назад

They were really so very similar that I actually couldn't say which one had better visuals. But for me... I bought the Quest 3 (and love it) over the Pico 4 because the Pico doesn't support my IPD of 60. As I understand, the settings on the PICO 4 goes down to 58 but the lenses stop moving at 62. That wouldn't work for me.

@jackr.749 5 месяцев назад

@@ThomasOhm-fx2hlThe Pico 4 can get smaller IPD than 62, agreed, it stops at 62, then there's a onscreen over ride button you can press to go lower than 62, I've tried this with my Pico4 and I could feels the lenses moving below 62. :)

Can you do a cv1 to quest 3 comparison? It would be cool to have a "through the lens : cross generation edition" to see how far we've come, in one video.

@maniekflower 5 месяцев назад

I miss essential information in your comparisons - this is - connection method - cable/wifi? program - pico or VD? oculus link, airlink or VD? What bitrate, what resolution? At a time when we can connect in different ways and each provides a different experience, this is essential information. Especially since the VD pico can do much more than the org soft pico

@lexxyX 5 месяцев назад

Not to forget the binocular overlap. Pico 4 has nearly 100% bin. overlap, Quest 3 max. 70%. That means a clearly better stereoscopic (3D) sight with the Pico. But that it's not the theme of this type of videos, of course. The far more warmer picture of the Pico makes it more pleasant for Videos and Movies. All other content the Quest 3 shows better. Sadly the comfort of Quest 3, even with battery elite strap, is way behind the Pico 4. This means better balance and wider gasket due to the larger lenses.

@el_taiito5492 5 месяцев назад

what's the binocular overlap ? I don't get it For the Quest 3 you have a slider to get a warmer color temperature (called something like night mode) I'm always using it with my Quest 2

@tosvus 5 месяцев назад

I have done everything to make the Pico4 more comfortable, and even on my 3rd 3rd-party accessory, while much better, I don't find it great. I'm pretty sure I can get far better choices for 3rd party accessories for the Quest 3 in due time, so I'm hoping it will be more comfortable. Besides, my Pico4 lenses fog up the first 10 minutes or so, and are fairly picky about how you place the headset to get a sharp image in my view. I don't like the optics, you get a weird wobbly effect if you scan around the picture. (Try looking around at the mountains in the pico4 "menu" environment.). Glare is also a pretty major issue in my book. That said, when in the right game where it is not too dark or too bright, my headset has warmed up, it does offer a very detailed and clear picture.

@lexxyX 5 месяцев назад

@mrdummy_nl 5 месяцев назад

I own both and i can say: - Pico4 is much balanced on your head! - Tracking is better on Pico4 (still halo rings, way less errors and quicker), Q3 is still "beta" in tracking with small chance for some fails or dropouts. - Pico4 may older, price is much lower and overall still good headset. - Pico4 is also less power hungry, last longer on batteries. You will go for Quest 3: - if your want try out AR side - if you hate halo rings and want lightweight controllers - if you have many quest games in store - more future proof side For PCVR use, both are good (Q3 can do a bit more with new gen cpu) so no shame to get Pico 4. Don't forget buy better facial interface from AMVR and it's comfy headset. Quest 2 is also not bad, but sweet spot is much smaller and FOV is bit smaller. That is only difference. IPD setting on Q2 is also limited. But Q2 is also not bad one because you can get it much cheaper on used markets. Good for the starters with low budget.

@ProgrammistMusic 5 месяцев назад

i also own both and i completely switched to Quest 3 because of the better displays and visuals as well as better ASW for PCVR, which i use in some games. But the Pico 4 is by far the most comfortable headset if you are using the AMVR facial interface. Even with the AMVR for Quest 3 and additional modding it's not that comfortable as the Pico 4.

@rushmore3927 5 месяцев назад

I have both and actually prefer watching movies on the P4. I do not notice the screen door as much and the headset is way more comfortable, compared to the Q3 with Elite battery strap. Games though are better on the Q3, but I only play standalone games. Added: I have an aftermarket face/gasket cover, since the one on the P4 sucks. The Q3 one sucks too, but not as bad as the P4 one does. Q3 is more front heavy, in spite of the battery strap.

@ThePawel36 5 месяцев назад

I have also both of them and Pico 4 is a little too dim to watch movies comfortably. In the dark scenes it is very hard to see details even if brightness is set to max. Quest 3 is better in almost every aspect accept battery life. Pico 4 can compete and win with Quest 2 when it comes to visuals but Quest 3 is out of reach for it.

@uc49842 5 месяцев назад

I personally own Q2,3 and regularly use P3,4 at work. The P4 is the most comfortable headset, no doubt. Screen/Graphics quality: I would rank Q3, P4, Q2, P3. I've not played games on P4 since it's only at my office. I have P3 at home, and the games look the same as Q2. I've only tried Eleven Table Tennis and Contractors till now. I'm not gonna try more since I use PCVR, PSVR2, Quest, and Pico, so it doesn't make sense for my wallet to buy the same games on all platforms.

I have both, it really is a very close call for pure visual quality. The Pico 4 is sharper and has infinitely better binocular overlap, but the Quest 3 has less (but not zero) glare and reflection. If you already have a Pico 4 and mostly use it for PCVR, the Q3 is definitely not a big upgrade. For standalone and MR use, of course, it's not even a contest, the Q3 obliterates the Pico.

@artmediocre4595 5 месяцев назад

Great video Tyriel, I've been looking forward to this! I bought the Pico 4 when it released because I was interested in the new lenses compared to my Q2. I quickly sold my Q2 and used my Pico 4 as my main driver, and when the Q3 was announced I quickly realised PCVR gaming would be more or less the same on both headsets. This video shows it perfectly. A few bumps up in most areas, but not enough to justify an "upgrade" if you're only playing PCVR. Also, I think it's amazing how far the tech has come in so few years. I remember watching the Assetto Corsa comparison where the cars would quickly become blurs or blobs of pixels in the distance. Now you can actually see them well. Either way you look at it, both headsets are great. And the Pico 4 is a steal for what you get, and especially what you get out of the box. Crossing my fingers for an upgraded Pico 5 with eye tracking and foveated rendering next year! Stay safe everyone!

Nice comparison, thank for sharing this mate. I don't have a Pico 4 because they still do not ship to Australia. For PCVR it looks to me that while the Q3 fairs a little better due to its better screens/lens/chip, the Pico 4 still seems to do a very good job. So, maybe not a must-have upgrade for Pico 4 PCVR users imho. I do have a Q3 with Elite battery strap (fortunately one of the good ones) and I'm loving this headset, mainly for standalone VR/MR, but also as a backup to my QPro/rtx4090 for PCVR.

The PICO 4 looks equally as well as the Q3, to me. Looking at the through the lens comparisons, I noticed that there are different angles each shot or recording, which even with the slightest variations can change the look, and quality a lot, so as I watch what I began to look for was not so much how much better one was than the other, but instead, is the quality of what I'm shown of the PICO, worth the money (would I buy it for $500.00?!)!? The answer is yes, for sure. So far, to me it seems to be the smartest purchase option. But,... A few questions remain,... Looking to get an PICO 4 in the USA.

@tyrielwood - when you show the racing game, when you are showing the cars moving, the pico cars appear to be moving at full framerate with no motion blur. But when you show the cars moving on Quest, they appear to be moving at half framerate and there is motion blur. Can you speak to why the motion of the cars on Quest appears to be substantially worse in your video than the pico? Is it something about your recording framerate?

@Tyrielwood 5 месяцев назад

It's actually because of the camera shuttering speed, unfortunately every screen reacts differently to the camera, but motion in reality it's actually the same

@el_taiito5492 5 месяцев назад

@@Tyrielwood Maybe you should set it manually to the same value to have better comparison ? Because when I saw this, I though the Pico 4 have better brightness at first (in general lower brightness means lower shutter speed) Maybe screen refresh was causing problems on video but yeah there is a massive difference between the two, like 1/10 and 1/60, and lower shutters speed means more light captured so it can affect the image in different ways

@@emrah7921 Regarding your graphics card, I can tell you that it will be completely sufficient for the absolute majority of VR games. Since the majority of VR games are almost exclusively developed for standalone headsets, the PC requirements are relatively low. Of course, if you want to play regular PC games with VR mods (UEVR, Luke Ross, etc.), then this could be a tight squeeze for newer titles. My recommendation would be if you only want to play VR on PC. Newer titles that are modded and so on. Then it might make more sense to invest in a new graphics card and buy a cheaper VR headset (Pico 4) first.. In principle, however, I would definitely recommend the Quest 3, as it is much more future-proof both technically and in terms of support! In the meantime, for example, there are many exclusive titles for the Quest that aren't even coming out on PC. In the long term, it could be that you can simply skip the PC and enjoy the games directly on the glasses. So if you're faced with the decision to buy and can afford the higher purchase price, the Q3 is definitely the way to go.

I don't care much about wireless, but I care about battery life, as well as how hard will it be to replace the battery in the Q3 vs. P4 (Q2 battery replacement is a PITA).

Funny thing, I returned my Quest 3 because of a couple fundamental issues. Lack of cameras on top of the HMD means less over-head controller tracking which I actually need for dancing. It also means the headset and controllers lose tracking more often because it's not using the ceiling as a tracking surface and sees less light despite my room being brightly lit. However, the Pico 4 seems to have the right fundamentals to be a better and more reliable VR headset by combining the best of the Quest 2 and Quest 3.

Thanks for this. Man it's close. Sometimes the Pico 4 looks sharper and sometimes the Q3 does, but it's always a slight difference and I would attribute it to different aliasing artifacting because of the different screen angles. Freeze at 4:26 - it looks like the render resolution is lower on Pico 4 but godlike VD should be higher on the Pico than the Q3. The rectangle has aliasing that is mugh larger than the panel resolution. Is it just an example of the aliasing from the diagonal panels on the Q3 happening to be better for horizontal lines again while Pico will have less aliasing on diagonal lines?

I have the Pico4 and Quest 3, I like my Pico4 better than my Quest 2 but like my Quest 3 better than my Pico4, the optics in the Q3 are unreal, edge to edge clarity but I get binocular overlap when looking to the extreme sides of the display with my eyes in the Q3, I don't get that in the Pico4 but do get blur at the outer edge of the optics. Agreed, the extra grunt of the XR2 Gen2 of the Q3 makes it work so much better for PCVR, much less noticeable compression than the Pico4 or Q2. The other thing I really like about the Pico4 is the OS, more like a plain jane Android OS with all the menu features, not stuck using a closed OS like meta, meta is a pain in the butt with that BS phone app to do certain functions to the Quest HMDs, like time change (Had to do this with my Wife's Q2, time was messed up) and even a factory reset needs the phone app, the Pico4 has all this in the HMD's menus. Pico does have a phone app but you don't need to use it to setup your Pico4 or to do other crucial functions, meta just likes making life as complicated and annoying as possible.

Pico 4 is half the price, its hard to argue if your solely using PCVR and 3D Stereoscopic gaming, any game these days can be turned into 3D and viewed on Steam big cinema experience, its awesome, think nVidia 3D Vision, but far more immersive. Non the less, Quest 3 can do all of this, and more but you are also locked into Meta and you need Meta account, its also twice as expensive even on the used market, its a hard buy if all you do is sit on your PC to play stuff.

@gzaos Месяц назад

Can anyone tell me, why does the motion blur so much worse in the quest 3? Looking the formula 1 footage, you can clearly see how better motion looks on the pico 4.

Blacks i cant agree at all are better on Q3. Pico 4 wins big on blacks and contrast in dark scenes. abe game at the end black on white and also elite dangerous starry sky shows MUCH denser black on p4 + much higher contrast on the orange on black display. Quest 3 is brighter for sure but also over tinted in blue which can be seen both in whites and blacks (and Pico slightly on green and red). Checked on LG oled in dark room so its not my TV :) Would love to see comparison on Pico neo 3 link on DP vs quest 3. PN3L is MUCH brighter than P4 and of course and more details on cable (even if resolution is lower). I havent tried q3 yet but i do prefer my PN3L over my P4 in more vivid games as colours pop more partly due to the higher brightness (that is helped by non pancake lenses that eats a lot of light)

For standalone go Quest 3, especially if you already own games from Meta Store. (Also if you have the budget) For PCVR, Pico 4 is a great headset that will not let you down and will also spare quite some bucks on your wallet. You don't have to add much more accessories to make it more comfortable (other than maybe a face gasket), and the battery is just waaaay more efficient than Q3. The downsides are... well... it's hard to buy and import, not every standalone content is there, or it takes longer for devs to optimize it / troubleshooting it or even release it. It might not be that future proof, sadly. It was a HMD way ahead of its time, but now with Q3 the market shares are taken by Meta by a storm, even as I said previously, the P4 is a great headset overall.

I just got the Quest 3. Maybe I'm just really picky but I still have trouble getting my image clear. I feel RU-vidrs have really over hyped IQ on it. Not to mention being very uncomfortable with it on my head. It's heavier than quest 2 to a fault. Maybe I'm just adjusting to VR after not using my Quest 2 in almost 2 years. I guess I just expected almost flat monitor clarity with new VR headsets and what I'm seeing is far from it. Still very cool and immersive as hell, but to my eye there's still something not satisfying about the image quality. It's entirely possible I need to tinker with some more settings but it's all max resolution. Overall for me it's still a tinker toy to take a break from flat screen gaming but nothing I'd consider a serious gaming device. Unless you like image quality that looks like it's been smeared with Vaseline.
