I sit quietly in the living room. I’m watching the dust settle on Meta Quest 2 and I’m glad I already have it on my home hardware. bought everything I need. But what won’t happen! Mark Zuckerberg knocks down the door, shows Quest 3, and I wonder if I really need it or not. Since we didn’t submit it to the editor, but you are still reading this article, you probably guessed it. how I decided. Well, I just wanted to! At least after a few months of use I can convince you and myself if it was worth it.
Two years after the release of the successful second version, Meta Quest is now on store shelves and in our hands. version threeAnd. I wondered if it was a worthwhile upgrade, a great headset for beginners, and how—or if—it lived up to its mixed reality promises. The third quest took a lot, and maybe more, than it seems at first glance. And it was he who immediately changed for the better. What immediately struck me when I received the parcel from the courier, was the package size. Compared to the previous version, it is half the size. And the headset itself costs half as much. More and more, it’s starting to resemble something we imagine in a sci-fi movie, or something we might have seen in Ready Player One. At worst, it looks like something you’d wear to the mountains on skis.
Significantly smaller size does not mean less weight. In fact, Quest 3 is the opposite of Quest 2. even a few grams heavier. The total weight is approximately 519 grams. But you don’t have to worry, because in practice it doesn’t work like that at all. It’s now more comfortable to wear than ever before. Yes, even with the original fabric strap, which is a little better than the second Quest, but, unsurprisingly, it’s still totally worth the money spent. The reason why it is more comfortable to wear is simple. Thanks to its narrower body, it is one the center of gravity is much closer to your eyes. To a large extent, this eliminates the feeling of slight heaviness forward and the load on the neck, which now does not have to lift its head up so much. Likewise, the headset feels much more stable on your head, and when you move sharply from side to side, you no longer feel like the headset is trailing you on its end.
Significantly less “shape factor“This is just the icing on the cake, which became possible, among other things new lenses. Meta eventually decided to throw out the Fresnel lamps. They were a popular choice mainly due to their ease of production. On the other hand, they caused two fundamental flaws. The circular division, that is, the teeth, was clearly visible, and the image was from the center. it blurred very quickly and chromatic aberration occurred. Almost nothing was legible around the edges, and many things had lost detail. The new Quest finally has the so-called pancake lenses. Uniform lenses that remain sharp over almost the entire surface. That alone and the smaller size set the Quest 3 apart from the Quest 2 by miles. He’s honestly describing himself in a stupid way, and he shows on camera how dramatic and almost generational the difference is between these two changes.
But we’re just getting started with them. Despite its smaller size, Quest 3 has not lost any external features. The volume, power, and wake buttons remain, as do the USB-C charging ports and the 3.5mm headphone jack. It even brings back a function from the first quest that many people completely missed: wheel for smooth control of lens zoom. Namely, from 58 to 71 mm instead of three specified values. Thanks to new lenses having “sweet spot“Much more, I dare say that almost everyone will now feel a high-quality and clear image. Definitely a big thank you for bringing this setting back. We even appreciate some advances in design, thanks to the ability to move the lenses further away from the eyes. This time you won’t need the included plastic tool. Right on the side of the headset you’ll find built-in buttons that you can press to The plastic part that holds the glasses fabric can be extended or retracted in four steps. If you wear glasses and don’t want to buy prescription lenses, this is a good solution. Especially if you rent a headset for several people. Just be careful, it’s a little cheaper than plastic. For yourself manipulation on one side she broke. And I just tried it for the purposes of this test.
