Think these will be out in Canada before WWDC in June according to an article I saw today.

I'm curious to see how much better the tech is compared to a Quest 3.

I watched this review yesterday and also saw the NBA app on it (https://x.com/KevinOConnorNBA/status...512396529?s=20) and while I have no interest in getting one now it does looks pretty damn impressive. I could see in gen 2 or gen 3 that watching live sports on it will be pretty incredible.

AR is the end goal. the tech is just not there yet.

Note the flexible main logic board. Conforms to the contour of the chassis to really cram in all the circuitry .

Tried the Vision Pro at a friend's place last night.

I've only used it for like 20min. But the overall impression is... meh.

The AR aspect of it was nice. But I think with Quest 3 having similar capabilities. It's hard to justify 7x the price.

Don't get me wrong. It's miles ahead of what Quest 3 quality is. But still... I just don't see the justification for it. The only cool thing is the hand/finger control. But I think it still needs some improvement.

Overall, not something I'd drop 3.5k USD for. I'd rather have a high-end spec MBP instead of the Vision Pro.

Maybe gen 2 or 3 would be the charm.

I don’t see anything significant for porno or gaming/simulation aspect. That’s the only thing I used my quest 2 for.

are there actually any really good games with VR?

i can see how PSVR is popular b/c of the playstation's library, but can't think there would be an extensive great library. unless the intent is you run it off a powerful gaming PC and link your headset to it.

Lots of good games on the quest. Beat saber, Thrill of the fight, les mills bodycombat, Mini golf etc.

VR Mini Golf feels just like real mini golf.

The Quest 3 is a very solid entry into the VR space for those that want to give VR a go. The Vision Pro is a lot better in other ways but that's expected at 6-7x the price of a Quest. Quest is also pushing out an update this week to support spatial video as well so you won't need a Vision Pro to enjoy those 3D videos.

In terms of games, I can get a decent cardio workout from Les Mills BodyCombat. I also picked up VR Mini Golf recently and it's a solid entry - it feels pretty close to real mini golf like Manic! said.

One of the bigger developments recently is UEVR which is a PC mod that converts games built on Unreal Engine 5 into VR game. Doesn't work with every game but it's pretty slick to see play old games from a 1st-person perspective.

There are a ton on sale on ebay. Seems like the most people who bought them where content creators or resellers.
