Is the Quest 3 really such a big improvement over the Quest 2? (lemmy.world)

Im asking because I've been thinking about buying a headset but keep seeing that the Quest 3 is a much better experience than the Quest 2, even at a higher price. So is the 3 actually that much better that, even with a price of 550 Euros, it's worth it?

Never tried VR so can't compare it.

My girlfriend refused to play the 2 due to motion sickness. 3 isn't perfect, we she does like playing from time to time.

I guess if you don't mind it becoming e-waste in a few years like the Q1 is near to being. You are practically at the mercy of Meta deciding what you can do with the device. There are some projects like ALVR to mitigate this somewhat, but these platforms are being locked down in more sophisticated ways with each generation.

It's a huge improvement in pretty much every aspect. Definitely worth it.

Color pass through on the 3 is great for Mixed Reality games and experiences too, the 2s black and white pass through is much lower resolution and the stitching is not as good.
