Why is it that no YouTuber talks about the vr social space like vr chat, vr cinema and other vr experiences that can be shared together, the fact that you can't share what your doing on vision pro with other vision pro users but you can share a lot of experiences with other Meta Quest users

[GGdrive]

I'm an apple guy, every device I use is apple. I would buy a quest 3 if I was in this market. The price, weight and utility seems better.

[adeldeutsch]

Even if both headsets were at the same price. I’ll be still buying the Quest 3

[ThisIsJayEveryday]

To his point, Zuck actually told no lies. The problem is, "better product" is kinda subjective. And what he _didn't_ say was that the Quest 3 was "more technologically advanced". And I highly doubt anyone is cross-shopping the two.

[novavolex]

When Mark Zuckerberg told that the Quest 3 was the better product I was laughing. ... untill i spend 2 weeks whit the Vision pro (of a friend of mine which he returned) and afterwards 2 more with a quest 3. Now I'm a proud owner of a Quest 3 with Kiwi headstrap with additional battery. You should definitely do another comparison between the two, due to that Meta was working very hard and the last two updates are gamechangers.

[MobikSaysStuff]

Tbf Meta's Hand tracking is perfectly accurate, it's just that our hands aren't designed to be that steady, when we pinch our entire hand moves slightly making the curser move, but technically speaking, the hand tracking detects those micro movements and the quest tracks it accurately as intended.
Tho, that doesn't make for a great user experience so Meta should move to eye tracking for the next headset, too.

[OmegaEnvych]

My thoughts are going on Quest 3 and not just because I have it and didn't buy Vision Pro because latter costs more than a car.
I'm going with this from a perspective that Quest 3 provides more for less - you pay $500 and you get a decent, if a bit cheap-feeling device that does pretty much everything that Apple Vision Pro can do and does even more than that.
I absolutely love that it supports wireless streaming from a PC, which means I can connect it to my home computer and play my favorite VR games and then charge it while using sidequest to install new Homebrew like port of Doom 3 that feels excellent in VR with dynamic shadows and everything.

Oh, new Quest 3 also comes with decent free game in the package that shows a lot of cool things you can do with it and not with something else, so that's good.

In short - Apple Vision Pro reminds me of the supercar that looks great, but you can't really drive it anywhere but raceway or high-quality roads, while Quest 3 is a simple car - not heavy duty - just normal simple vehicle that will do everything you need for a fraction of the price of that supercar and you won't really gonna be afraid if you will go a little bit off-road on it every once in a while

[Stone]

Zuckerberg was right. Q3 is not only cheaper. It's better.

[lightstorm]

He forgot to mention the haptic feedback u have on Quest 3 and the sensation of holding something like a pistol, racket etc in your hand, also that the Quest 3 has much less motion blur when moving the head from side to side in passthrough mode and that the handtracking of Vision Pro has a delay in games as its only tracked with 30hz, which u dont have on Quest.
And u notice the screendoor Effekt only on white backgrounds otherwise its basicly invisible on Quest 3. Also the immersive Videos are the same side by side 3d or 180°/360° 3d videos on both plattforms. Apple even baught the company NextVR who previously made 180° 3D Videos for Quest, besides 180° 3d VR P°rn Videos for Quest are some of the sharpest and most immersive Videos there are.

[ZeroJ]

Every "advantage" the vision pro has isn't shit that I want on a VR headset, minus the graphics. But I can get that.

[SteveMan]

If they were both $500, I would choose the quest

[WhatsTheWordBozo]

Considering the fact that a 700$ headset is able to be compared to a 3500$ headset makes it obvious which is better. I never even once thought about the Apple device because the price is insane, its locked into the apple ecosystem, and who knows if apple will even continue this line and you end up with a 3500$ paperweight. Mainly came here for the Quest 3 data

[Breaduniverse]

The thing with the Vision Pro though it’s really more made for working or watching videos/movies. The meta quest 3 is more fit for gaming and streaming, and being with friends, online.

[SjaakSchulteis]

I was impressed by the spatial video samples on my Quest3. I have many 3D movies, but those really looked good. Only downside, I couldn't change the size of the screen. Because of the better screen of the VP, I'm already looking forward to a Quest4 that might have that kind of screen.... even though so far, the Quest3 is the best headset I ever had.

[jdarg]

I have a Quest 3 and I don't see any pixels and I own multiple VR Headsets and I also use my Macbook Pro with my Quest 3 and for me and what i use my Quest 3 for the Vision Pro is not it as it doesn't have a headphone jack and I am a Music Producer and the Quest 3 is way far ahead compared to the Vision Pro in the field

[maxherman]

Give us Android apps on Quest (like VP can do with iPad apps), dual 4k screens and eye tracking on the quest and I'll buy the quest each and every day. I just ordered a quest 3 even and this is as a MASSIVE Apple fan. $3500 is FAR FAR Too expensive. Hell give me the BEST headset Meta can make for $999 with all that tech and it would still b the better buy. The software seems very polished and even more so as time goes on to mimic that of the VP interface. I had an OG Rift, Oculus Go, Quest 1, Quest 2, m and now, a Quest 3. Quest 4 I am really hoping will be the definitive version, and hopefully priced as such. $999 with ALL the features. DO NOT HOLD BACK.

[DenisJeti]

I am still shocked how meta quest 3 is almost as good as apple vision pro when is so much cheaper than apple vision pro

[MikeLikesChannel]

You can now buy lightly used Vision Pros for $2000. And at 2k used, AVP is *well worth it*. Let someone else eat the depreciation. At $4k new? No.

[moebettermann]

Meta needs to up the resolution to 4k per eye before I will make a purchase. I am getting tired of looking at a screen door.
