The one thing that upsets me about Meta is, why don't they have a small team to develop accessories? Why in the 2024 don't we have full body tracking as a standard thing?

[sidneyusc]

That one matrix game or whatever gives you the ability to talk to any of the NPCs and they have like their own little lives. This is similar to that

[growtocycle]

What floors me is... Why isn't anyone working on a full length, 360° 3d movie for vr!?!

It's crazy to me that Meta is worried about the Quest Pro 2 costing more than $1000. The Apple vision pro is $3500. If they truly want to make a Pro 2 they should aim for $1500 price and give it a display port connection because pros are not going to be playing Gorilla Tag, they are going to be doing productivity software in it and doing high end simulations and experiences. If they give us the Q3 lenses with micro OLED and Displayport connection to PC with a resolution of at least 2.5k per eye, every enthusiast will want one and it will actually be usuable as a monitor replacement.

The word is 'precedent' not 'president' Steve. And it is for security reasons they haven't opened up the cameras to random developers. Good day! :)

[JunyuVR]

I always enjoy your videos. Your commentary makes them so much fun to watch.

[cyber_habanero]

Camera-access would be a great feature for developers, not only for the 'Meta' Quests, but especial for the Pico3 and 4: With it one could emulate a depth sensor by image recongnition and KI. 'Meta' always complained they can't give access because 'security', but on others like micro and storage, it always was possible like build in on Android, to ask the user if he want to give access when it makes sense for the app to get it. So after all this 'security' was only to give 'Meta' access to all the users data.

[dalecorne]

Hey Steve...just a suggestion. If you come across a last name that you are unsure on how to pronounce, simply put it in a LLM and ask it to say the name for you

[CalmingWinds]

Giving a dev access to the camera would present a whole new world of security concerns. Combined with AI could rebuild your rooms, watching, analyzing, and logging forever what you are doing in VR at any given time. Might as well put a live camera in your room and broadcast to the world your whole life.

[csmurphyvr]

The reason we don't have access to the cameras is because any coder will see how easy it is to upgrade the passthrough stitching of the cameras and Meta enjoys these slow releases with these drip feed updates.

[coryturke]

Well I mean, it was about to happen because LLMs are just maturing now. This isn't game changing, it's just more entertaining in terms of interaction.

Every game that gets LLMs will be in the discount bins at Game stores and at the bottom of the list on Steam, just like all games after the hype, designed only to sell more copies at the moment of release, and nothing more, dies down.

What I want from the whole "Virtual Reality thing" is the option to see the rest of the world and have meaningful, peaceful experiences I couldn't have otherwise.

[Joric]

I'd consider forking out for a Quest Pro 2 with Micro-OLED and eyetracking, but I'd also want considerably more powerful processing than is currently availsble (including the XR2+ Gen 2) . I also wouldn't pay more than $2K USD. So I'm not expecting it any time soon.

[Johanneslol]

Thank you 😊for a new video. Always do much happening in vr

[SKUNK_FPS_Clips]

I’m gonna wait to get the next quest instead of the quest 3 since I need to save for it any way and I’m patient 😂

[mikemiles]

Great Vid!
I wish the tracking was better on the Quest 3. I play Golf+ and I lose the tracking a lot. I'm probably swing too hard. I hope Meta
comes out with some kind of trackers like Pico.

[xenthoxin]

Wasn't there like a rainbow six game or something that let us speak our orders to our teammates? Can't remember.

[exan]

Only thing I don't play about the P4U is that the strap is non replaceable because of the battery at the back....

[edturner]

You really kept us all on tender hooks at the end of the video. Is he or isn't he, surely not? Then...

"Good day!"

Then, all was right with the universe once again. 👍 ✨️

[alangrant]

This camera access process was improved upon within a couple of days and doesn't require webview

[christianlamb]

I'd love to have all these wonderful upgrades to the quest like Oled displays and full body tracking and codec avatars and more AAA games and on and I also know that I wouldn't have even been able to buy a quest 3 unless it was at that 500 to 600 USD price yeah can't really squeeze all these things into the device unless its out of my price
