Quote from: Derp Derpson on November 07, 2023, 23:50:55I don't think it's claickbait, just not well fact checked. The quest 3 is amazing BUT the $20 billion lost on the metaverse is the fail ... Nothing to show for it. Imagine if that money was pumped into an ever refreshing library of 180vr concerts and other popular content over the past year...

Actually that $20 billion figure they keep throwing around is the entire operating budget of reality labs. So not only does it include content throughout their many studios but it also includes r&d for AR/VR and new input technologies such as the EMG band. These types of article are usually have an agenda and include very little actual reporting. This has been known in the VR circles for some time.

Imagine if that money was pumped into an ever refreshing library of 180vr concerts and other popular content over the past year... Current state the quest TV app is 98% low quality garbage and 2% content worth watching in good quality. The quest 3 launch is kind of a fail .. no new content at release day made it felt more incremental from my quest 2. It has potential but damn they need good TV content to get normies using it more than once and setting it in the drawer.. that app needs to be better.

"VR fans on Twitter (X) and Reddit have expressed dissatisfaction with the headphones' lacking audio capabilities." Hugely misunderstood quote that really shows how ignorant writers can be on things they have no business writing about. The quoted content creator was complaining about the Quest 3's mic, which isn't great, but also isn't the worst thing imaginable.

The Quest 3 is amazing. For any headset to top it, it would have to cost twice as much, if not more (Pimax Crystal).

Compared to other products (even Apple), there are by far too many praises from anonymous posters. This stinks of at least partially directed opinions.

Too many cry babies in the world these days! Meta 3 is awesome especially for the price. There's nothing wrong with voice chat! Maybe its the idiots headphones & mic! If you want to complain & cry about buy the way over priced Crapple/Mac junk that's about to come out. If I hurt your feelings good!

I am still dealing with lost apps on my quest 2. I wouldn't be a huge deal; but they are my favorite apps. I am a simple player who likes the simplicity of have my apps available without complications. I think I'll wait!

Unreal, this article is clickbait right? Wrong on every level in this article.

Who wrote this garbage? They gave zero validation of any point they attempted to make and randomly injected topics in the most incoherent manner.

There are plenty free journalism/writing classes on sites like Coursera. I recommend talking one or a thousand.

Quote from: George on October 29, 2023, 18:24:17IMHO: until they fully embrace 'streaming' the on screen content from a suitable rendering device over WiFi6 and moving the battery pack to ones waist (leaving merely the display and sound on the users head) the headsets will remain large, heavy, bulky, uncomfortable and unwanted by most users.

I play tested the MQ3, and the first thing I did was connect over QuestLink to my PC. Fired up SteamVR, which worked right away, and jumped into Half Life: ALYX, all over WiFi (computer hardwired though). Player a handful of other games and experiences. It's already good to go and I'm honestly questioning if I'll ever turn my Vive back on.

Wow, talk about clickbait. This article is a big L. Everyone loves the quest 3. Seems like you're just trying to stir the pot for clicks and attention. Maybe do some real research next time instead of spreading manure like you're training for the BS Olympics 🙄

Can't relate to this article very much. Had the quest 2 and now the 512GB Auest 3 wich is nothing but amazing. You get an excellent piece of hardware wich you also can use as an pc vr headset and everybody i was showing it to was simply amazed.

Im not the biggest fan of Meta as a company vut this article feels a bit odd for an noteboolcheck standard.

It almost sounds like a paid anti-add... but on notebookcheck? Don't get me wrong I am the last person on earth to defend M.Z. But MQ3 is a very good piece of hardware, so good in fact that even though I didn't care about Oculus, Meta and all this nonsense, I went ahead I bought MQ3 - it is that interesting. And I do agree with previous commenters, article is soaked with personal hatred to M.Z. Which is not very professional. I do not visit notebookcheck for that.

I think that the author of this article just don't like Mr Zuckenberg or is looking for attention. The quest series VR are just wonderful and men need to invest in a pioneering domain to have a clear domination.
Wait for Apple vr at 3500 and there you will see a huge flop.

The quest 3 is brilliant I think it's the sweet spot for vr it's comfortable for the eyes not blurry and has a lot of experiences to well experience.also playstation invested in vr so both these companies must see some future in this technology.every one I know wants a quest 3 or has one I think it will do better then quest 2 .

I don't know what you're talking about, Meta Quest 3 is flying like fresh buns on Amazon, it's nothing less than amazing, as someone who didn't manage to connect too much with Quest 1 and 2, I'm just addicted to Quest 3.
