    A good amount of apps/games to keep you entertained. Batman is fun and very interactive. Only issues to note are it can be straining on eyes because the screen is a few inches from the eye, can have some motion sickness, and fatigue of head and neck supporting the device.

    The main difference between Occulus 2 and 3 is a game changer. Occulus 2 is Virtual Reality, where Occulus 3 is Augmented Reality. I cant wear the Occulus 2, I get motion sick. I can wear Occulus 3, because i can see where I am. Think of it like this… wear the Occulus 3 and you can augment the space around you. Put a paper bag over your head (safely) to block out seeing the space around you, and you have virtual reality.

    This is arguably one of the coolest gadgets a person could want. Speed, clarity, preciseness, memory space, functionality, all of these are in this machine. It's literally like escaping reality and going into another place. My only issue was the controllers. I actually liked the Meta 2 controllers better. They seem to fit the hand's contour naturally. However, Meta DID make up for it by allowing the option of you controlling hands-free (you have to have controllers on a flat surface, side-to-side), but it drains your batteries considerably. But don't let that stop you, this is a very cool item.

    Moving up from my Quest 2 was a good decision. Yes, it is very expensive but a bargain compared to other sets. The color passthrough and ability to use augmented reality in your space is amazing. I did have two issues, both resolved. The pushbutton glasses space was broken on one side. A return solved that but it's very flimsy plastic. My advice is don't remove the face cushion even to put on the upgraded Elite strap. It isn't necessary. Also when setting up, the Quest 3 was not even a device on the Android Meta app. I had the latest version but the fix was uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Then the Quest 3 was an available device and it paired just fine. The addition of wi-fi 6e really speeds up the update times if you have that kind of router. I do and it's a game changer.

    This is so much better than the quest 2 I was skeptical at first not really thinking how far it would come. The colored background is such a big improvement and the hand tracking is so much smoother. If you’re skeptical I say it’s worth it if your gonna use it.

      Hi Christian,

      Thank you for sharing your experience!

      It’s great to hear that you’re finding the Quest 3 to be such a significant improvement over the previous generation. We’ve worked hard to make features like the color passthrough and hand tracking more intuitive, and we’re thrilled they’re making a difference in your gameplay.

      Welcome to the next level of VR! oculus

    It’s a quest 3. It works great and is one of the best values for features around. Just get an aftermarket head strap and some trigger straps and it’s amazing. Immense improvement over the 2. Only issue is lack of eye tracking and LCDs but at this price point it’s very much acceptable.
