A lot of clueless people here are calling the Quest shit product tho. I can understand not wanting to give money to facebook but the tech is incredible.
What about the Index is an improvement over the Quest 3 in terms of quality? Looking up the specs, the Quest 3 seems to be handily beating the Index, a 5 year old headset. Pancake lenses alone are such a massive jump in visual clarity that it’s hard to consider buying a headset that still uses fresnel lenses.
I would agree with you if we were comparing the Index against the Quest 2 for sure, but the Quest 3 sets quite a high bar.
Lemmy hates Meta but honestly the Quest 3 is a fantastic headset. I use mine semi-regularly for wireless Steam VR.
I don’t think anybody is under the impression that their engineers are stupid or that they can’t make decent hardware when they want to.
They just rightly think that Facebook is an absolutely evil company.

Too bad that it will turn into a brick once meta decides to axe their VR department.
It’s just an android device, someone will make a bootloader unlock and custom rom for it if it comes to that
I wouldn’t rely on that. Those projects take a ton of time and aren’t always able to activate all the features.

Why would it? It’s just an android device. LG didn’t brick all their smartphones when they pulled out of that market.
Quest is from Oculus, Metaverse is from Facebook, different management leads to different quality
I couldn’t go back after using the Valve Index, though. Wireless or not, it’s too much of a compromise on quality.
Edit: sleepy typo
You could?

It’s better because it’s not from Facebook, and it does VR extremely well overall.
But how is the actual quality better than the Quest 3? That’s the part I don’t understand.
