Quest 3 Update Improves Passthrough Quality, Adds External Mic Support & Lying Down Mode

Oooo… Gonna have to try laying down mode. 80% of what I do with it is watch videos and play 2D games just chilling in bed lol

I thought it already had lying down mode. That’s something I wanted to have in VR from day one. More so now that I’m bedridden. Of course they started adding that right after they stopped improving my Quest 1. And of course there is no way for us to add such a simple feature ourselves.

That sucks. The Quest One was such a bummer in how it was under powered. I hope you can upgrade.

Never again. Fortunately I don’t need one so much that I can’t wait for a fully open product.

Meta really should have a trade-in program. But Q2 is quite cheap currently and hopefully the rumored Q3 S/Light will be in a similar price range.

What would a fully open product look like for you? Is the lynx-r1 good enough? I don’t think others are focusing on open source other then a full diy kit.

Yes, it would be good enough. I hate Android but it’s hard to find something not running it. If I had the money I might consider buying it.

Quest 2 and pro had it since the previous update, Q3 got it with this one.
