Apple Vision Pro vs. Meta Quest 3: Battle of Realities

Hi all. Unfortunately we had to trim a short section about watching Movies and TV shows on the AVP out of this video because a trailer for Dune that was captured with the Vision Pro, kept getting flagged by YouTube for copyright infringment. We apologize that we could not include this portion in the Versus video. If anyone has any insight on how to best avoid this in the future, please reply to this commment. We have reached out to YouTube for guidance and clarification. Thanks for watching!

The fact that these 2 devices, which are both at the opposite end of the price spectrum, are constantly being compared to eachother is telling.

I think the Vision Pro is going to end up selling a lot of Quest 3s. "Save 90% off a Vision Pro with the Quest 3!" is a pretty powerful selling point.

Buy a quest 3 with games, ps5, 75" smart tv, steam deck, nintendo switch, and still have money left over.😂 Vision pro is for people who aren't financially responsible.

Don't sleep on the Quest 3.. as a die hard apple fanboy. and I can actually use multiple virtual monitors on Quest 3 with the "Immersed" app. It also doesn't have an attached battery, is more comfy and has a larger Field of View. Sure, it's not as high in resolution but it's still quite good

Another big plus with the Quest 3 is that it can be used as a PC VR headset, while the Vision Pro cannot.

With quest 3 you can watch movies with friends and in different environments, like theaters and drive-in ect. You can also meet people in different environments and play golf with anyone or a group and so much more.

The Vision Pro has to sell for way less. $3.5k is ridiculous.

Honest review, I like it. Straight to the point and zero BS. You did leave out one thing that us seasoned VR users are quite focussed on, and that is FOV. The vision Pro has the same FOV as the early HTC VIVE headsets had, it feels like you're looking down a barrel or a tunnel. Quest 3 doesn't really have that feeling. And since it's not super-crazy maxed out on res, you don't get any foviated eyetracking either, meaning you get it sharp, all the way to the corners of that extra FOV space, and that does a LOT for immersion.

I'd like to see Meta offer a 4K per eye version of the Quest 3 with some UI improvements, if they can sell something like that for say $1000-$1200 ... that would be a game changer.

You neglected to mention with Quest 3 hand tracking, you can bring the window close to you and use touch gestures so you don’t have to try and navigate a little circle to select links.

For the price of AVP you could get the MQ3 and a very powerful PC to go along with it

If movies are one of the big selling points, they really need to make it as easy as possible to watch movies together, across any Apple devices, and especially when both people have VPs. Sharing any app in your view with someone else should be done easily in 1 or 2 clicks, and without "both people need a subscription" nonsense. If you're in the same room, it should be as seamless as watching the same screen together.

As someone working in VR space for a while now - really good comparison of the headsets! I think you managed to show pretty much all the biggest strengths and weaknesses of both, nice job :)

I've owned the Meta Quest 3 since last Thursday, as of writing this comment I've got 60 hours in Immersed LOL. I was going through a grueling phase of testing viewer glasses (Xreal, Viture, Rokid), having never owned those or a VR headset before. Then Zuckerberg dropped that comparison video and I was sold. Had no idea the same "virtual computing" capabilities were a simple wireless or USB-C connection away from my work MacBook and a Quest. Got the MQ3 512GB (I packed it with a ton of emulators/movies) and couldn't imagine work life or media consumption without it. There are no VR games on this unit, I've been using it strictly for productivity, movies, and Xbox Cloud Gaming in my off hours. So I'm already getting, what feels like 1000x my value from this, without even dabbling into it's most well known catalogue of VR games. While I'm sure the AVP is an incredibly premium and exceptional device, I no longer have the FOMO, thanks to MQ3. Damn near ready to sell my monitors, desk, and nay I say, even the Secret Lab. 🤣

Been really enjoying my quest 3. Games are amazing, meta horizon worlds is fun and media looks great. Best $600 I’ve spent in some time

At 6:15 You can change the view in settings to make that window much larger. I use hand tracking all the time. I've even cooked with a giant screen on the wall in my kitchen.

You can't be at that price but still be comparable to something over 7x less and have missing features and apps. It makes absolutely no sense.

QUESTION: If you were having trouble selecting website objects in the Meta, why didn't you make it a closer bigger screen? Or is it locked at that size?
