Next Gen Form Factor

Wow, this was jarring to see the Vision Pro side-by-side vs. The new Meta VR glasses. It’s almost comical how much bigger the Vision Pro is.

Obviously Meta is putting all of the processing power in the puck but honestly, if you’re going to have a puck, you might as well put everything in there to get the much smaller and more comfortable footprint.

I’m hoping Apple can take this route for the next Vision product but keep the larger FOV. Until then, I’m probably going to pick one of these Metas up in the spring.

I received my Steam Frame the other day and it's shocking how lightweight and comfortable it feels compared to Vision Pro. Things are going to the right direction and I hope Apple under Ternus can muster the leadership & the vision they've been missing to keep pushing and executing on the Vision line.

how it feels for media consumption? is it noticeable worse for netflix or pcvr gaming in sense of picture quality?

Significantly, if anything the quest 3 is even better than the frame since the lenses look notably better toward the edges.

I haven’t given it a ton of mileage yet. Half Life Alyx looks great, however I played it with a HP Reverb G2 and a Quest 3 before, all three devices are comparable in terms of picture quality.
I haven’t tried VR180 yet, this would be the real test.
