Quest 3 will get inside-out upper body tracking later this year. Also, AI estimated legs are coming to Quest 2, Pro, and 3. Footage & details here:

The idea of Apple dramatically cutting Vision Pro production makes for great headlines & melodramatic opining. The only problem? It just isn't true.

Apple is playing with the same laws of physics as Meta. It delivered a twice as powerful headset by using a battery almost twice as big. That means it couldn't fit in the headset itself, and hence the external battery design.

Apple Vision Pro's battery capacity has been revealed, and it's almost double Quest 3's. Here's why the true purpose of the external battery isn't to reduce weight:

It's week 2 of 2020 and already we have a "VR is dead" piece. Includes the false claim that you still need a powerful PC and sensors, no mention of Oculus Quest, and no mention of the VR games selling >1m units. How does this shit get on @BBCNews ?

Meta should get Microsoft Edge on Quest as the next stage of its Microsoft partnership. At least then it would be possible to have synced bookmarks and passwords across your devices. Safari being on Apple Vision Pro is a significant advantage.

I deeply hope Quest 4 goes to 120° or beyond. Field of view is what drives immersion and what makes VR headsets more just a 3D display.

We've gone from fresnel to pancake optics, can we start increasing the FOV please, the next wave of headsets should focus on removing the "goggles" feeling and aim for a true next-gen experience.

$200 is an incredible price for a wireless standalone VR headset with tracked controllers and access to both the Quest Store and SteamVR (via PC). But we still recommend not buying it, as a cheaper version of Quest 3 seems inbound.

@benz145 "it would immediately net them $660 million dollars a month" You're assuming 100% of Steam's current userbase would actually pay. In reality a huge percentage would boycott, piracy would skyrocket, and competitors like Epic would see a massive influx of new users and games.
