A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Quest 3 is a very much mixed reality headset too. Have you seen the announcement? It also features hand tracking since first Quest release that has been constantly worked on.

No I did not. Yup, that's a much cheaper XR headset. Though Apple's offering here will have over 2x the resolution which may make a difference in productivity use-cases such as virtual monitors.

Yeah the virtual monitor seems like an amazing use case though the resolution of quest 2 or quest pro is already good enough so the real challenge is the ergonomics of having something on your head for extended period of time. Ergonomics isn't Apples strong suit either lol

We'll see. Personally what I really want is a translucent AR display, so I can see the actual light rays of the world hitting my eyeballs combined with pixels. Of course that's mostly an unsolved engineering challenge...
