I wasn't going to buy an Apple Vision Pro for many reasons. But I did buy the Quest 3 this week and it's got multiple improvements over the Quest 2.

I like the Quest 3 and think that objectively, it probably works better than AVP for a lot of scenarios.

Plus, it's cheaper 😛

Then, Karl Guttag came out with this post today:

Vindication, or confirmation bias? 😀

Whatever the case, both my wife (who found the Quest 2 hard to use) and I found that the Quest 3 was much easier to use (lighter and fits better and easier to put on/remove) and the best movie watching experience we’ve had in AR/VR so far …

I also found that the Quest 3 works beautifully with glasses. Compare that to AVP which won’t work with glasses at all.

@f Same experience here. 🙂

@tylermumford Do you do much gaming on the Quest? If yes, I’d be interested to hear what your experience has been …

I have not had the time to try out any games on the Quest 3. Did try a few games on Quest 2 but that was a few years ago and the experience was mixed — some games worked beautifully and others gave me nausea/headaches 😛

@f I’ve done a bit of gaming on it, maybe 5-10 hours. I only felt discomfort once, and I was able to easily revert the comfort setting that I was experimenting with and haven’t felt it since. (It was in a shooter game, and I was trying to turn around IRL as fast as I could.)

I think most games have effective comfort settings these days.

Games look gorgeous on this headset when they’ve been optimized for it. If they’re only optimized for Quest 2, they look fine.
