Glad to see that you can have monitors in your physical space. (You can do that on the Quest 2, but it's in black and white, and it generally didn't feel like it was an intended feature.)

Cool. Big upgrade?

- pancake lenses (so the headset is like half the size of the Quest 2
- better cpu/gpu
- better displays (2,064 × 2,208) vs (1,832 × 1,920)
- passthrough is full color and higher resolution
- no more dome for controllers:

Nice. Maybe I'll buy one for a future Hapax port.

It'll be a retro port like how people still make N64 games.

Quest 5 will be so good.

Tangent but it's nice that this is just called Quest 3. Too many devices are getting stupid with naming new models.

Quest 3 teardown reveals it's mostly battery inside.

I guess Apple is on to something.

I don't know why it isn't standard to put the battery on the strap. Like for quest just put it on the top of the head and hide it with a pom or something.
