@javierdavalos This is due to distortion correction, and is most noticeable at the edges

Hands are misaligned in #Quest V66 Is it a bug or a tradeoff for having no distortion?

@lucas__crespo And camera was always on? 😂

What if the camera icon worked as a viewfinder?

@SadlyItsBradley worth it

Paid 69 dollars on VRC hat socks When did it all go so wrong in my life

@Leoni_O @mkoivuka @ShadowriverVR Quest 3S codename is Panther and real panthers can see in the dark

@viewingfrustum @mkoivuka @ShadowriverVR Is that what they would supposedly be doing with the 3s? Since the moment I saw that I thought "2 IR illuminators? I hope this means better low light performance"

Meta Quest 3 Depth Sensor is actually just an IR line projector. #Quest3

@nickfloats there is no way it can generate a proper 3d mesh with clean topology because this requires a lot of math, so far all the tricks is done in the depth map generation and the result are barely usable

@MarcelD505 this should have been an app in the first place, there's no point in having a separate device for this

Ok so people already cracked the rabbit R1 and found out its android. People dumped the apk and i got it working (with root and a few mods) on a standard ass phone lmaoo

@MKBHD This is insanely good engineering

This has to be hardest-to-explain thing I've ever tried. But it's so sick! FULL VIDEO: youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY Disney Imagineering Labs let me walk on the "holotile" - essentially a 360-degree treadmill/moving floor for VR

@SadlyItsBradley I wonder if upcoming AndroidXR can be installed on Quest headsets 🤔 They both build for the same Qualcomm hardware. This will threaten Meta business model and explains their rush to push Quest OS to other vendors.

I will make a video discussing my takes on the Meta Horizon OS announcement Overall, I grant a W to Meta on this day

@Lunayian Unknown Device 🫣

From Meta Quest OS v65 UX files, in order: Pacific = Oculus Go Monterey = Oculus Quest Hollywood = Meta (Oculus) Quest 2 Seacliff = Meta Quest Pro Eureka = Meta Quest 3 Sekiu = Meta XR Simulator Panther = 🟢 Meta Quest 3S or Meta Quest 3 Lite 🟢

@Lunayian And it will be even better because Panther has night vision. IR flood illuminators and the magic of inverse square law makes hands clearly visible on any surface in any conditions.

Meta Quest v64 may have also included some improvements to hand tracking against low contrast surfaces and backgrounds.

@benz145 Quest Pro 2 must have this hands down.

If Quest 3 had proper video input it would be an easy recommendation for 'best PC VR headset' for most people. Why don't they do this, could it really cost that much more? Maybe they subsidize the headset so much they literally don't want to attract more PC VR buyers because they won't make the money back from Quest software sales? Any ideas @ID_AA_Carmack @PalmerLuckey?

@BunniKaitlyn @Meta Meta and Qualcomm are heavily invested in wireless streaming to promote their technology. It's more complicated than just adding a new port, Quest 3 need a separate chip for HDMI/DP to MIPI converter to work as classic PCVR headset.

@TheGoodAI1 @SadlyItsBradley Their method is even more complicated than described in this paper. Meta uses a custom "barcode" line pattern where each line has a different distance from each other. In addition they use stereo structural light which solves the problem with occlusion and shadow projection.

@SadlyItsBradley @viewingfrustum it's a tad easier to see and detect deformations on a surface since lines have a bigger surface area. You can read about it here sci-hub.ru/10.1016/j.ijle… it's a bit math heavy but the idea is simple enough

@matteotiscia This works in both ways, make a good product and he will do a great review giving you free advertising!

I'm sure it'll be fine

@SadlyItsBradley @Gendsama @ZanderTheBoi The most interesting part is that these lines are not evenly spaced to each other. There is a pattern by which the algorithm recognizes each line individually. In theory, this method is very accurate and can be used as a good 3D scanner.

@Gendsama @ZanderTheBoi @viewingfrustum Yes but the interesting thing is how they chose to use lines instead of standard dots

@l2000002 Well, it's not a sensor because it doesn't sense anything. Depth is reconstructed by cameras using stereo structured light method.

>meta quest 3 depth sensor is actually just a depth sensor really bro 😭

@speedbuiz To be honest, they most likely didn’t used it in Quest Pro because they don’t have the software ready for it. Their SLAM works well enough to determine depth even without additional laser projectors.

@viewingfrustum ...THIS was the thing they removed from the Quest Pro 'cause they thought "it could look through someone's pants?" Zuckerburg, not once before you did a brain have the thought of X-Ray nudity at 144i Resolution, gah damnit

@BallifJed It's not quite off the shelf, but they are using Vixar's VCSEL as the laser source. The whole module is manufactured by Suny with a custom-made diffraction grating with a “barcode” a like line patten. It costs less than $10.

@viewingfrustum What, it’s just cheap of the shelf components? Would have never guessed from such a reputable company like Facebo…meta

diffraction grating is used to make these lines
