while I agree, you also just don't have a choice as otherwise you force the user to carry a controller with them all the time (and even then the experience sucks because you have to take out/reach for your controller every time yo

interesting... I was really looking for a nice upgrade this year, but instead I got a cheaper headset. This is making things difficult. I might just get the Q3S while I wait for a Q4.

that's what I said, the Meta glasses don't even have a display and they're insanely useful (through the AI assistant, the speakers, the microphone, the camera). I can't imagine how game changer something that also has a

it's better with glasses actually as you have to stare at what you're recording (whereas hidden cameras and phones can record without you realizing that)

If you get the opportunity to try the Meta glasses, you will quickly see that it's more than just a gimmick, and they don't even have any display

So it looks like it's basically the same as the Quest 3 except for the screen resolution and the use of different lenses (instead of the pancake lenses). Everything else seems similar or even better (and there's a new button to tr

I can still run old python fine, as much as old bash scripts. I often have to edit bash scripts written by others to make it run on my mac.

you can't disable it, and it doesn't really matter anyway because nobody seems to notice it. I have videos of all my friends the first time I run into them using the glasses, and none of them realize that I'm recording them u

I wear my Meta glasses all the time and use them to record all the time. It's fine, you're already surrounded by people who brandish their phones to record everything.

apparently they did something weird with the glasses to bend the light and increase your FOV, I'm not sure what that means but it looks intriguing.

Looking at all the reactions from first time users, it really made me want to try those. Quite large and apparently under 100g (to compare, the average weight for prescription glasses is 20-40g). That being said, nothing compared to a Ques
