Yeah i can understand that with a Netflix movie. But in 3D and full theater surround sound with subwoofers – that is on a whole different level of content experience. The immersion is incredible. And it is easy to set up using Virtual Desktop.

I would watch some pluto.tv until they took it away. Although I heard a while ago now – that it was supposed to return. Some “mod” in the movie theatre app was telling everyone. Although that was the funnest part – drawing pictures and throwing popcorn/tomatoes at people. At least the avatars weren’t fat, so everyone could be thin for a change.

I’m curious too if the Quest 3 will be usable as a virtual monitor but I doubt it. Besides the resolution, I think it would not be comfortable to wear it for several hours continuously.

As for Vision Pro, setting aside the Windows / Mac issue, I’m hoping it is usable as a virtual monitor. As for VR games on Vision Pro, it seems Apple doesn’t want to make it usable for that, strangely.

Anyway I’ve ordered quest 3 and I’m leaning toward buying Vision Pro, for spatial video among other reasons.

Well, I think it’s a clever idea for them to use celebrities that are more familiar to younger people who aren’t using Facebook.

Thanks Ethan. I watched a 2-hour Netflix movie on my Quest 2 and it was kind of bearable. But I can see how it wouldn’t be for everyone.

The other prerequisite is that the movie is in 3D and you HAVE to route the audio through your surround sound system, not the headset audio. There is a way to do that, and it is hands down the ultimate movie watching experience.

I’ll have to try the Q3 with pancake lenses to see if it’s passable as a desktop, but I’m not expecting great things at such a low resolution. OTOH, VisionPro is dead in the water as a desktop replacement for most of us because it doesn’t support Windows as a monitor. By the same token, it will be trash for VR games. Oh, sure, it’s better than snapdragon, but it’s having to push 4x as many pixels and still fit into a 10-15W thermal envelope. PCVR level graphics simply don’t exist in that space. Without (windows) desktop applications and without PCVR level rendering, VisionPro will simply be a ridiculously expensive and fragile 3D viewer with a built in 3D camera you have to wear to use.

I’m insanely bullish on VR/AR, but this crop of headsets is still squarely in the realm of toys for early adopters who are willing to ignore their major faults for a taste of the future. With Apple-level (or newer 2nm) processing ability and Meta’s upcoming 55ppd display and convergence research, things really could shift in the next 5 years.

I was kind of disappointed with their presentation and their never ending marketing that seems to only see women of color as their main audience. Also having B list “celebrities” as the face of your AI chat bots is just toxic to me. There is no way I want to spend time with or add to the millions that Paris Hilton and Snoop Dog already have.

Thanks for the offer! I’ve heard good things about it! I think I bought the app but just haven’t had time for it. But I would put this in the same category as exercise. Congrats on doing great with Eleven TT!

I only use oculus for one reason, eleven vr table tennis. I definitely want you to try it too. If you want, I can coach you for free 🙂 I would like to point out that I have over 3000 Elo points 😉 When you get used to this game, you won’t be able to leave it. Moreover, you can also participate in online tournaments! And loose weight;)
