I'm just gonna kiss some butt for a second here. I wish every VR content provider was as well produced, honest, well informed, and as entertaining as your channel is. You're on another level and the consistency is just *chefs kiss*. As someone who has loved VR since the moment I strapped on my first headset, I just can't believe the hate and insolent attitudes from people that either haven't tried it, or haven't tried anything worthwhile. It's nice to be in a place with a content creator and people who get it.

Truth

The fact that you were disappointed by the lack of proper depth API apps that you made one of your own is hilarious and inspiring. Love seeing the growing gamedev side of ThrillSeeker!

Virtual desktop needs this occlusion support NOW!! This has got to be one of my most favorite dev updates for mixed reality stuff EVER!

Thanks so much for all you and Phia do for the VR community. We love you guys! Have a wonderful Christmas!

Varifocal lenses are exactly what I feel VR's been missing, the distances don't feel real enough atm. I'm glad to see another flagship game released, especially from a studio Meta acquired, since we all haven't heard much from those acquired studios from their acquisitions. VR needs more full proper games like this.

Excellent video, always the best weekly news coverage!

Something that has really suprised me is the massive improvement to quest 3 Bluetooth latency after launch. It's actually gotten to the point where it's usable now.

Thank you for always providing us honest, accurate and exciting news. Your passion and professionalism are a breath of fresh air.

OMG YEAH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VID ABOUT THIS

Got a 3 for Christmas! So excited to use it tonight!

bro your vids are the best.

They neural eye tracking is a display element that has extra photoresistor pixels for eye tracking. So it has normal displays pixels and extra pixels like on a camera sensor.

I'm still waiting for the Vive XR to unlock it's depth camera. Though, I have my doubts that the XR2 gen 1 was ever powerful enough to use it, which would explain why Meta removed it from the Quest Pro.

Always a good day when Thrill uploads!

This guys videos are so sporadic, that I keep forgetting his channel exists. Really wish you got back to a more consistent upload schedule.

your videos are so great

Love your vids

Merry Christmas everyone

Friday Newsday. lets go!!!

Lynx has for a while now shown quite capable occlusion, though lacks a depth sensor for sake of keeping cost down at the moment.

Yea Stormland is my favorite vr game and the first game that made me forget i was in a game. I played 16 hours straight standing up. When i got off i was even tired i just got off to use the restroom and released what time it was

I found this information a awhile ago on the pico. But... i didnt know they were going to keep there high end headset in the works that was the only information i couldn't find. Great video as always thrill

yo have a MERRY CHRISTMAS too

Journey of the gods was the first vr game i ever bought and i loved it. Glad to hear it get a shoutout

good month XD the entire month worth of vr news

i never finished journey of the gods but what i did play was very fun. I really need to play more of it

Hooray some-day-of-week newsday !

i finally decided to buy myself a Quest 3 and this is the first video that is actually relevant to me haha, in the past i was just watching ThrillSeeker videos because i find VR very interesting

If you research a little I think the reason pico didn't sell a lot is not due to the product but because china was its main buyer. If you look up the news on what's happening in china you guys would notice the housing market crashing and massive companies collapsing and others leaving the country so people have no money to spare. Then we got the EU also having financial issues and problems in the energy sector

What couldn't have helped Pico at all was the lack of a US release as far I'm aware due to it's owner. Also, limited software support... and trying to compete with the behemoth that is Meta who are more than happy to swallow up game studios and throw money at them.

6:20 ive heard that if youre going to get one tracker, dont go for like one leg or something, go for the waste/chest, because having your body tracked does a lot already for immersion and whatnot, especially because you can move forward relative to your body rather than your head. All I hope is that I can use my slimes *and* this simultaneously.

As a former software engineer at Microsoft. I'm not sure who were the people working on Xbox Cloud but that stuff is absolutely hard to build. All the power to them for releasing a beta on Quest. I tried to build my own prototype just for browsers and that was an absolute pain in the butt. Happy I get to play with it on Quest 🔥

@XristoferLee

To be honest man its just a browser in a virtual room. I got game pass cloud gaming working on a sideloaded edge browser a couple of years ago. Since then the built in browser on the quest infrastructure got updated with features that made it possible to do it from the native browser.

Tuesday newsday but its friday newsdsy haha. Other than that yet another amazing qualiyy video. Also amazed that you built your own demo for the new tech!

As soon as i get the quest to all the good stuff comes out

FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS STORMLAND!!!!

Yeah, you are correct Asgards Wrath looks like a PS3 game, I thought exactly the same. For instance, the blurring of the image above a certain height really annoys me. Standalone VR is not there yet, not by a long shot. Thats is why I've used my quest 2 and 3 headsets with PC VR exclusively.

For QOTW: Can you give a list of recommended games for people prone to motion sickness? Like Arizona Sunshine (I & II), After the Fall and Space Pirate Trainer, to name a few. Would love to know your top picks for this.

Thrill: Very good episode holy moly! Happy Holidays VR Brother! Great Lost Games to time: 'Time Transit VR', 'Jet Island' and SANSAR VR!

Big question. When using quest 3 in vrchat for example, can you put on feet trackers and have upper body tracked by headset and lower by base stations with steamvr? May mean a no cost upgrade to have more tracking for people who started on index and are going to get a quest 3 anyway

whoop whoop new newsday!

3:13 I want some of that Holocake, wanna know how it tastes ^^ 6:03 I want Meta themselves to make use of that for implementing a torso/body based movement system similar to how the DecaMove does. Meta are the only ones who could add that system wide and work with movement set to head based in the games. Would be a massive game changer! 6:43 No legs... badum tss! 7.27 Speaking of movement, it's bugged in that very game. - Setting it to controller based gives me some weird stage trackin like setup where forward always moves me into the direction I was centering towards. - Setting it to either of the other modes (fixed or head based) will just make it head based the same way. I guess my preferred choice setting actually is the fixed one while fixed, for some reason, is head based as well. Also, I don't like how the quick overview for the currently selected quest is directly tied to the headset and very close to it which makes it hard to read as I tend to "hunt" the text and it keeps "running away as I move my head. AW1 was similar, but it was at a little larger distance and it lagged behind my head movement. Should be locked in 3D space instead. This is the biggest and IMHO dumbest error devs could possibly make in VR and seeing this by the end of 2023 isn"t great... 8:33 Well, It should have been a PCVR title on Rift in the first place, with a great Quest 3 and a good Quest 2 port. Now all we have is a Quest 2 version, even on Quest 3. Kinda sadge. Still a great game, though (I guess the issues I mentioned above will get fixed, just hadn't had the time yet to report them myself on their Discord. Travelling to family and stuff... 9:13 Me, too - because I was wondering if it would be possible to run MSFS in VR with that. That would have been awesome. But it's basically just a nice browser with access only to XBGP. Meh :/ 9:28 Well, I'm just watching this on my rig at home with a distance of around 500km, though Virtual Desktop on a Quest 3, tunneled though my own VPN. Din't want to bring a laptop this time, it's all just extra weight... and it works. Just can't seem to get my K830 connected to the Quest to use my local keyboard layout, which sucks. Might try relaying it though VirtualHere on my Android phone or tablet, though. 11:32 RIP Pico. Xina left the chat. 12:48 SCNR, -> [YT] /watch?v=Mj5DkQxIE-k 13:01 I wish they had integrated it into Boneworks as well, but I guess serving the growing Quest market was more important. Wouldn't mind seeing Boneworks added to Bonelab though, and then getting Duck Season in there as well. I'd even pay for that... 13:03 Absolutely great title. One of my first purchases after enjoying the demo on Q1. 13:12 Same, still need to play it, though. But I snagged it at the last time it was on sale, somewhere around January 2021. It sucks that Medduh is treating their Rift platform that poorly. Really.

im honestly really sad that the pico 5 has been canceled, iv had the pico 4 for the last year and it's an amazing headset and i love it, the display is amazing and its a very comfy headset.

As a fledgling VR noob who has only ever owned a Q3, it is a shame. Way before the release of the Q3, I was comparing the specs of the Q2 against the Pico 4. It was obvious that the P4 pooped all over the Q2 in many ways. It would have been interesting to see what would have materialised with the Pico 5. It's never really good in any market or industry where one player has the monopoly. Not only can it cause stagnation and stilted future development, the sole player can virtually name their price. On a similar note, I used to own a Huawei mobile and it was a great phone. However, it got to the point where I realised that I couldn't buy another Huawei product because of the very restricted software support in the future. I'll preempt what some will say... yes, Meta doesn't exactly have a great track record either when it comes to consumers' personal data usage.

First, Mr. Osawa, the tech journalist who launched this "information"...provides no real new and proven information, yes...Pico, as a content publisher, it's over! and at the same time, he announced Bytedance's record profits: +40% $29 billion! So if they want, they can compete against Apple... For hardware, Pico 5, 4 lite, or Pico 5 max pro or 6 (in competition with Apple's Vision pro), we already only had rumors, and it continues in these terms... That said, a Pico 4 lite or Plus, would be in the logic of things, an evolution in the heart of the market is more than logical compared to a Quest3, barely better than a Pico 4, no need to bring out the heavy artillery... In the VR world...We are still far from the mass market. And as the technical evolution of VR headsets will undoubtedly play out on technologies like Silicon On Display, and for Pico, as for Apple, and especially Samsung, the premium headsets represents, and it's stupid to say, almost the heart of the current market, it seems normal to me that they would produce a high end VR device against the two giants.. A real PCVR 2000$ device for gamer is a bargain versus a 3000$ Iphone's users "VR" device

Maybe nobody knows... but Stormland isnt anymore available on the oculus store on PC. Insomniac Games said they are looking to it but that does mean nothing... maybe beacause PS acquired them so they dont sell anymore on the Meta Platform...

I played Star Field on my Quest 3 for 3 hours and really didn't have any problems AFTER I got my controller connected. The lag was very mellow and I enjoyed my time for sure.

I actually get to work with IOBT at work now, so next week, I'm going to be diving into testing that myself.

I love your videos

Yooooo, Journey of the Gods mention! I love that game!

Stormland is AMAZING! Insomniac is class leading in player mobility just like Marvel's Spiderman. I played through it on release and was very impressed with it. In 2019 it was probably king of free movement, but even by today's standards it's exceptional. There was water jet system to travel between islands using both hands to control jet flow, there was free climbing on tons of surfaces, and finally you could glide from almost anywhere. I was kinda confused by the ending, it seemed like the game transitioned to a weekly objective based game which would be good for replayability but I couldn't remember the story properly wrapping up.

11:51 Oooh a Pico 4 Refresh is very intriguing. Maybe a Pico 4 Link 😯

Love your content and also I would like to see your recommendations for accessories for the Oculus Quest 3 because I have recently purchased the headset and I can’t quite get the strap to fit well if you have any recommendations for straps I would like to see them.

Varjo has a lot of depth occlusion as well. It works a lot better than the quest 3. The depth API had been in a pre release for some time now. The quest 3 has a nice starting point for this. I really hope they will use new systems where the camera feed is used with the depth sensor to calculate depth, and not just the depth data.

I just wanted to mention that the early pre production lynx R1 has had occlusion for years and there have been tons of demos for that. Can't take away what this small team has achieved.

I got motionsick from Asgard, the turning around does that.

I has a early Christmas morning playing with the meta quest 3.

Thrill your the only KZreadr who still has a into, I respect that

My wishlist grows another 3 titles Thanks

For cloud gaming on the quest, I use a cloud pc service called shadow. I can play wireless pcvr and flatscreen with it. Tried it on the quest 3 the other day and it was amazing. I pay for the upgraded version (~$60/month) but I get a killer graphics card and the math comes out to a new $5k pc every 7 years (what I was looking at for a workstation anyway). So for my purposes, the math works out. My partner has even linked it up with slime vr on her quest 2.

Xbox cloud gaming is why I upgraded from the quest 2 to 3. I know it's not needed, but I needed a little extra push. So far, it works great except for the long wait times.

I miss being able to watch KZread VR and movies on PC VR, definitely fractured but hopefully it all comes together

best vr channel imo

For me Asgard's wrath 2 is amazing, at least for a vr novice such as myself. To be fair, everytime I try something new my jaw drop ;) I'm honestly amazed it came included with the Quest 3 🖤

Its hard for me to cry for the Pico 4 when it wasn't even available in my country when I wanted to buy it lol. I still hope for the best for them.

Should I wait for the quest 3 to get a better mic? (I have a quest 2 that isn't at it's best but it works fine) the mic being at least as good as the quest 2 is important for me since people often can't understand me anyways. Thanks for all the videos I enjoy watching and learning stuff on your channel. :3

I been playing it on quest 2 works good for me

Stormland is so fun!!

V60 made my passthrough look waaay better. I hope they did it more I got a dud unit. Battery life improvements while PC vr would be welcomed too.

FINALLY YOU GOT THE DATE RIGHT

Asgards wrath is pretty awesome, deserves some hype.

Did co-location ever get any love? I remember code referencing it being discovered back in the tail end of the Quest 1 days...

Can I have a cup of coffee form the one in the start of the video ? XD please

Duck Season can also be played as a free mod for bonelab (quest and PC). So, that’s very good news for new people to pick it up **music starts playing**

FRIIDAYYYY NEWSDAYY!

Merry Christmas. As for good games lost to time, I'd say mostly Oculus Go games, which can no longer be played on any other device. There were games I enjoyed quite a bit, like Esper 2 and The Well.

Smaller and lighter is the way. And I'm fine with offloading stuff like a battery to a belt or sling to get the headset smaller.

Are you sure Stormland is still possible to be purchased? Last time I tried it gave an error message when adding it to cart. Or is it limited availability by country now? Are the multiplayer servers still up?

I have most VR headsets for gaming. Absolute blast.

5:54 I think we shouldn’t look at the hands but at objects, hands can still be cut out via Handtracking. I looked at demos with objects in my living room and it really helps the immersion!
