What did you guys think of connect? I was quite excited for this one, initially for the update to Ray Ban Meta but it's actually the VR glasses that I'm most excited for now.

The weight could certainly be a game changer, I think straight away that makes it much more viable for casual use. I love VR but it's a bit of a stretch putting it on to say watch a movie, but if it's a case of just picking up these, no straps, little weight, jumping straight into Netflix, great! I couldn't see if the puck was detachable, I'm guessing not. Would be cool if there was a basic soc on board for movie watching without the need for the puck.

I like how they VR gaming was reasonably high up the agenda for these too, it was just a little mention.

The Snapdragon reality elite is boasting 60% more GPU power, this is getting back to levels of performance uplift that the Quest 3 enjoyed. It would be nice if steam started allowing their ARM proton layer for other headsets, I'm sure that kind of power could be put to good use with older PCVR titles

      Just to add, obviously this headset appears to be an open interface. That's a concern but I actually really enjoy the open interface I got for my quest 3. If there was an extra accessory like the Quest pro that would be ideal

      I was concerned that the Quest 3 controllers can be used. I’d prefer not to use those controllers if possible, and I hope they release something like the Steam Flame controllers that uses TMR and has more buttons.

        Good point, my Quest 2 controllers have stick drift now although I've never attempted to fix them. I still have some pro controllers somewhere..but they became quite unreliable and it was just easier to use the standard ones

          I would absolutely love to be a pre-release tester.  I am the president of Thrive Pavilion, Inc. A lot of our members are asking about the Meta VR Glasses.  I am also a Horizon Creator in the MHCP program and currently have 3 Quest 3's and 2 pairs of Meta RX glasses.  I tend to get motion sick, so the new VR glasses may be a much better option for myself and others.  I too use an open face on my headset.  We do VR theater performances and have to read our scripts under our headset or bring up the browser to read them.  With the browser, we tend to lose our place a lot.  I have provided teleprompters for a couple of performances, which did help.  We are a nonprofit 50+ senior citizen group.
