Meta Quest

Excellent. I guess the only thing left is Asgards Wrath 1 PCVR. Does it appear in both PCVR accounts in your Oculus PC app?

We might have some Asgards Wrath 1 fans on here that want it in their main account with the rest of their Oculus PCVR library.

Had a quick look at the Dock. Clearly overpriced but something I certainly wanted in place, as I'd never bothered with the likes of the Anker effort for the Q2, despite looking into it.

No problems just setting the unit down, connection made every time. Comes with the batteries for the controllers so they just get swapped out and then they can just sit in the cradles. Just used the charger that came with the Q3 (18W) but will hook up a 45W to it next time I'm in the house. Clearly overpriced for what comes in the box, but something I wanted in place for when the Q3 is in regular use.

Swapped out the facial interface as well, which is certainly an improvement over the default one.

Still want a proper couple days with it before deciding about a return of the headset for what appears to be a dead pixel. It's really not noticeable at all when just playing In Death or whatever, only if you try to focus on lense distance etc. It is somewhat left of center which probably helps, but it'd be a shame to have any issue exacerbated whenever the prescription lenses show up.

Early impressions are decent though. Obviously need some Q3 stuff to really judge it, and will hope to get stuck into some PCVR stuff over the week. Probably one area it could do better in is the grey blacks inherent with LCD, but it's already a jump in price over the Q2 while still needing to be attractive to the casual market, so OLED (which can have its own issues to be fair) was probably never a runner.

Tried out Pianovision today with my digital piano on the Quest 2. Forgot I had bought it previously.

Had to use a USB cable connected from the quest to the piano so it knows if you're playing the right / wrong notes via MIDI.

It's a pretty awesome way to learn songs quickly and shoes sheet music if you want also.

The only problem now is that I want a quest 3 for the the superior and colour passthrough! 😜

Mixed reality is going to be a game changer for education.

Was looking to upgrade my HD Chromecast to a 4k Chromecast for better Quest casting. We use a 4k android box for a lot of streaming but its 3 years old now so now waiting on the latest MECOOL box to release this month with latest CPU/GPU. FYI for anyone who does similar MECOOL boxes have Chromecast built in so it will be cheaper to upgrade 2 devices into 1 and also free up a HDMI port on my TV.

I guess total playtime with and without elite strap plugged in would tell the story.

I have room if I throw the kitchen table out but dont think the fam would enjoy eating off a pool table 😆.

Gave it another try. Its a normal size pool table as far as I can see. No option to resize but once you place it you get 2 handles on the table to adjust placement and height. They seem to be still adding settings/game modes so maybe resizing will be included in full release.

My kitchen table is about the same size but rounded at the edges so when cue ball went near the corners I did have to hover my left hand. The gameplay is really good though. Realistic physics and table/balls. The novelty of having the table in your own surroundings is a winner.

I ordered last Friday, delivered on Tuesday morning !!!

It's from the same Dev as Black Hole Pool which is class. They really overhauled the game recently and have a good multiplayer lobby you can play in. I'll have to try out miracle pool when I get that quest 3.

Bobovr M3 Strap available on Amazon UK to UK mainland only. Should be available from Amazon.de soon I'd say.

Why this wasnt ready sooner is a bit of a mystery. Retrofit kit not available yet either...

EDIT: seeing multiple reports that M3 is shipping with B2 battery pack which outputs 15w. Quest 3 needs 18w to maintain charge. So B2 pack will extend Quest 3 battery life but not enough to hold / increase remaining charge. Weirdly there seems to be plans for Bobovr to ship a more powerful battery at a later date which will be compatible with M3 strap. Worth noting if you play for extended periods. I usually like taking a break after 2 hours max.

My daughter has a quest 2 and has offered to let me use it occasionally. Are there any cheap zombie games that anyone could recommend?
