Meta Quest 3

It's only immersive if the content is good but I get what you mean.

In 2014 when I was using my Note 4 + Gear VR, I really thought in 5 years (2019) things would be incredibly advanced in VR.

Here we are in 2023 and obviously these headsets are way better than we had before, but nothing truly mind-blowing.

Foveated rendering + high immersive POV + high resolution.

I don't need the mobile processor to be twice as powerful, the difference in rendering is still crap compared to a full PC.

I understand there are some actual limits of physics in play here when it comes to FOV but I'm excited for it becomes a solved problem.

"Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, delivering double the GPU processing power for faster load times and more seamless gameplay compared to Meta Quest 2"

"2 RGB cameras with 18 PPD, for 10X the resolution of Quest 2 and 2X the resolution of Quest Pro in passthrough."

"Integrated stereo speakers with 3D spatial audio places you in your space with 40% louder audio range, bass range and optimal L/R matching capabilities. "

"8GB. 33% memory compared with Meta Quest 2"

"Pancake optics create a 40% slimmer optic profile* for more comfortable wear. As compared to Quest 2 excluding the facial interface. "

"2064x2208 pixels per eye enhances resolution by nearly 30% compared to Meta Quest 2"

"Pancake lens provides a slimmer optic profile without compromising the depth of your visual immersion. Increased sharpness by 25% in center FOV (~70% sharper in periphery), with significantly less stray or scattered light artifacts. "

I'm clueless -- how do these things work? Are they standalone, or do you also need a gaming PC? Do you need internet connection, or is there stuff that works offline? Do you need Facebook account? Are they hackable, e.g., are there custom firmware options?

Hey Mark,

Send an email to NVIDIA's GeForce Now bizdev guy.

Develop a cheap-o streaming device and put all the juice in the display.

Congratulations, I just made you billions of dollars. Donate my cut to PETA.

Going by how my Macbook's battery life evaporates with 10 Chrome tabs + Slack + Zoom, I believe it. Gaming is definitely less load than multiple windows of modern work apps.
