zuck doesn't seem to be a big fan of the vision pro -- thoughts on his takes about the differences? i haven't used any quest headsets before so i can't say too much, but i do think the price point and some other features like xbox gaming are pretty compelling still love the AVP though!!

The best outcome is Zuck vs Apple is wildly competitive and VR/MR accelerates rapidly. Looking more likely. It's great he embraced the competition directly as well as admitting things like eye tracking where the Quest is behind. I expect the next Quest to be awesome now.

I think he is heavily discounting the added value of both the better resolution and the eye tracking. Fwiw I have the quest 2 not 3, but I’d say AVP overall experience was leaps and bounds better (at least the in store demo). Kudos to the open ecosystem, but Apple is just so damn good.

funny no mention of using it on an airplane 😉🤭 shit sucks, it’s a toy, bottom line, he’s trying to compare his toy to a computer

AVP buzz helped people realize that quest might be better for them - cheaper, lighter and more things to do.

they practiced this marketing jargon 6 times before recording. if he wasn’t afraid of the competition then he wouldn’t even be addressing it.

I haven't used either but I wouldn't bet against anything Zuck does

i respect him doing this so explicitly, but as someone who has used neither i can't really trust the take of an obviously biased person. from what i've consumed it seems people are genuinely more excited about avp than quest so i defer to that aggregate perspective

my first thought was this was a deepfake.

Regardless of its quality, the Vision Pro's price, tight App Store control and dismissal of VR games makes the Meta Quest a stronger contender in my book.

You can do everything with the quest 3 that you can with Apple Vision Pro, you cannot do the opposite. That’s why quest wins, if Apple were to open their device like meta did with quest then they would be up for a fight, but seeing how Apple is closed with their products I don’t think that will happen ever

The number of things you can do with AVP (that you cannot do otherwise) is quite limited at the moment. If that improves (like with the iPhone AppStore), then AVP will have the advantage.

In terms of product, AVP is definitely way better. I have used Quest 2 (not sure how Quest 3 compares, but the display alone makes AVP way better) I am intrigued by the open vs closed debate. Yes, Apple is closed. But is Meta open like they claim? Will they remain open when it matters? I am not sure.

I haven’t tried either but this does confirm that Zuck is one of the most deeply awkward humans alive.

Zuck says Q3 is better for most of what ppl use mixed reality for. Key thing implied is what they use it for *today*. The few things he mentioned AVP being better at seem likely to be very important for what people will use mixed reality for in the future. At least that’s apples bet.
