#Quest2

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

My birthday is coming up and I'm contemplating upgrading from #Meta #Quest2 to #Quest3, thoughts? Worth it? How does the comfort compare? Are there any downsides?

The only game I'm thinking of getting that might really benefit from it is the #Riven remake, since I don't have a rig for PCVR, the upgraded standalone hardware will make a difference.

I do worry a bit about headaches due to weight/balance issues, but I get those on the Quest 2 sometimes currently.

Well, a broken elbow is a evidence for that my balance never been something to brag about, but I can stand on one leg, but in #VR it is getting harder even the #quest2 headset shall show a perfect horizon.
Well, I did test Full Body Tracking in VRChat and my "grace" made some to LOL when I made an impression of "if a geek fall in the VR and all was there to see it".

@graphite Just tried out Light Brigade, not bad for a VR shooter. Also played some Tetris and that Wrath of Asgard game you get for free with a quest 3 is actually really decent for an RPG out of the gate. I just installed it a couple of days ago and I've been impressed. #quest2

I saw that the game #WarThunder had a #VR mode, it low quality in #Quest2 headset, but it was like cheating if use room scale. I could zoom in so I sat like a commander on the tank, then park it so I was hidden, then I stood up so I saw over a wall, not only that, I could walk in my room so I could clearly see around corners while my tank was safe behind a building, then I could drive from that position and see around corners before my tank was visible.

Anyhoo, he was there to announce the launch of the #MetaQuest3 their 3rd iteration of their #vr / #metaverse headset. It’s a headset. It is much bettererer than the #Quest2 in a number of not particularly well articulated ways. It’s got slightly better screens (but no actual specs there) and it’s got a newer chip to power it (not exactly overwhelming) and it’s got the pancake lenses from the #MetaQuestPro - at least that’s the implication.

#Quest2 owners and #puzzle fans, I'm looking for a few beta testers to check out an early version of our Rube Works VR: An Official Rube Goldberg Invention Game. Here's a short video describing it (current version uses hand tracking to play):

My time and experience with the #Quest2 has been getting steadily worse for the past year or so. I prefer to use it as mostly a PC VR headset using Air Link, but at this point it's for some reason basically unusable for me. And I've never been able to get the Link cable to work, it is always a stuttery mess.

Feels like I should just write the whole thing off at this point and look to more native PC #VR solutions, but I have never once heard anything good about a real wireless solution there.

Last year, I made (what would transpire to be) a slightly irritating purchase. I bought the highly reviewed BoboVR M1 strap for the #Quest2 with the magnetically attached extra battery. I loved the battery. But the strap just wasn’t comfortable. Yesterday, I snapped and bought the BoboVR M2 halo-style strap. BUT I did buy the cheaper M2 without the battery and successfully transferred the battery holder between straps. Surprisingly easy, although required tracking down a very small screwdriver.
