I didn't know I needed Dungeon Master Snoop Dogg until I got Dungeon SWAGster Snoop Dogg

What can I say there is a lot of new features coming through with this new awesome Quest 3! A few of the ones I personally liked was: 

  • Avatar variety 

Finally, your avatar will look like you! You have dyed hair? Fun makeup styles? Be you! 

  • Xbox Cloud Gaming

Games we can now play in our awesome new Quest 3! 

  • Accessories with color

We are all mad here.

My favourite part was seeing how well implemented the mixed reality is, being able to decorate your real space with virtual objects. I didn't think the mixed reality would be so stable where things wouldn't be wobbling all over the place, very exciting.

 

Quest 2, Quest 3, PCVR, Meta Wayfarer

Yeah I like the idea of interactive objects in your real world... radio player... tv... I hope the potential is fully explored. A videophone maybe, you can dial up your friends and they appear, as a video or as an avatar. And please, with super intuitive and simple controls, dare I say it... a bit like how Apple does it 😉

Also, it seems dual screens are confirmed, according to Virtual Reality Oasis and Tested, didn't see it on the Meta website.

I've never been a huge advocate of AR and MR, but the quality of the Q3 passthrough is getting me excited about the possibilities. I'm having thoughts about developing an XCOM-style game that you can play on your coffee table, although my current project is probably going to keep me busy for the next year (at least).

Anyway, I've got a 512 Q3 on the way! I think I'm going to skip the official Elite strap ($$$) and consider a third-party alternative. I've just got a BOBOVR M1 Plus strap for my Q2 (my Elite strap ratchet started to fail after three years of use), and I really like the way the pivot in the arm makes it easy to flip the headset up without taking it off.

I'd love tabletop Age of Empires or Starcraft.

Bobo will be selling a retrofit kit for the M2 to fit the Quest 3 but I haven't heard anything about the M1, are the two straps different in the way the fit the Quest 2? like the new forum avatar!

Is the M2 a halo strap.? The M1 is like the Elite strap, but with a pivot mid-arm and more padding (top and back). This strap will stay with my Q2, because it will continue to be used for testing my game, and my daughter will use it when we play Walkabout together (I’ll finally retire the Q1).

I think most of the third-party accessory makers will have new Q3 models out pretty soon—I’ve seen some posts about them being ready for launch day.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.
