Quest 3 at Meta connect :
Already unboxed
Charging dock?
Did you see this Assassin's creed VR trailer from 4 days ago? I sure didn't
Leaked spec sheet.
$499 for 128GB
18 PPD, 18 pixels per degree. Quest 2 had 20 PPD and Quest pro 22 PPD. This raises a lot of eyebrows but there's so many factors in PPD that can change the number to be lower and not to be like visually a negative is that, it could be that it has a single panel, unlike Quest pro which had two, so dead space in the center brings this down. Or higher FOV brings down PPD.
Speaking of which, this rumour,
Site was taken down (too soon?) and archives reveals these details :
- This article seems like it hadn't been finished being edited and probably wasn't supposed to be released at 3am September 27th. It mentions that the Quest 3 *was* unveiled at Connect on September 26th, U.S. time. I think they got the date wrong, even for the U.S., because the first stream goes live on the 28th in Japan time, 10am PST on the 27th in the U.S.
- Release date October 10th, 128gb version 78000 yen ($501.92) and 512gb version 96800 yen ($649.55).
- Memory is 8gb
- It claims the display is a 小型の有機ELパネルとなった, a "small OLED panel." It also mentions a Horizontal FOV of 110 degrees and a vertical FOV of 96 degrees.
- It claims that those who buy the 128gb model will receive the full version of Asgard's Wrath 2 (presumably not a demo) (a 5990 yen/$40.20 value), and those who buy the 512gb version will receive both Asgard's Wrath 2 and a 6 month subscription to Meta Quest+ (worth 13190 yen/$88.52).
Reminder :
Rift CV1 87.95 horizontal, 89.66 vertical
Rift S 88H 94V
Quest 1 104H 100V
Quest 2 104H 98V
Quest Pro 106H 95.5
VIndex 108H 109V
So a tad above Index on horizontal, but similar to Quest pro vertically. If true, i'll take it!
OLED? 110 FOV? Asgard wrath 2 included?
Although OLED doesn't make sense with pancake lenses so probably bullshit article. Maybe they removed because they were not ready to finish editing and they're waiting on tomorrow's connect.
HOPIUM TIME
DECKARD?
Valve release the biggest SteamVR update in ages this monday
Valve is radio silence on VR since Alyx launch and now of all the days in a year, they break silence a few days before Meta connect?
Remember this tweet from Counterstrike 2 twitter?
Well SteamVR 2.0 promo image also included CS2
Does Valve have the balls to drop Deckard the same day as Quest 3's big unveil?
Take with a grain of salt all of the above. But to me this is exciting. PCVR has been DORMANT.
