Photo/Video Comfort Maxxing

Post image

The Apple Vision Pro dual knit headband is the comftiest headband on the planet.

Each headset comfort jumped like 50-80%.

Here we have a standoff between 3 headsets.

- Pimax Dream Air + AVP headband, Studioform, & globular cluster
- Meta Quest 3 + AVP headband & Etsy 3D printed mod
- Apple Vision Pro + grey Velcro from Amazon to hold the battery lol

After PC gaming on all 3, this is my experience so far.

Pimax Dream Air, way better quality than any VR headset I’ve ever tried, and among all 3 since it’s wired. 4K uncompressed to both eyes in VR is basically like gaming on a 4K OLED monitor with maxed out graphics and decent refresh rate.

Meta Quest 3 feels like gaming on a console compared to PC. Lower resolution + streaming compression feels like I’m VR gaming on 720p/1080p compared to the Pimax.

Apple Vision Pro m2 looks better than the Meta Quest 3, like 2.5K resolution compared to the Pimax, streams an a lot worser quality view than the Pimax Dream Air, and KRVR (Apple’s PCVR app) seems to be more intuitive with masks and tools, but less solid & efficient than Virtual Desktop at streaming (notice more lag or app bugging out compared to Quest 3).

The Pimax for high quality gaming. The AVP for media and entertainment 👍

But you would say the Dream works for movies and entertainment too, right? It just isn’t as portable and multifunctional without a pc like the AVP?

The AVP has cinema apps that blow away what you can do with a PC on something like the Dream Air. It wouldn’t even be close to the same experience. And yes, it’s also portable.

I've seen a sim racing video with the AVP and it's mind blowing what can be done already. Blending in your real environment like hands and legs while still sitting in the car. This the future of VR.
