I dont know if glasses are truly the future of mobile computing,asMeta says they are.

Meta reps told me theyve notified developers of the issue, which will hopefully be patched at release.

The combat in the Arkham series was already a rhythm game reliant on the players timing.

Instead of pretend-shadow boxing,Arkham Shadowreplicates the action of games likeBeat Saberor the exercise appSupernatural.

You aim a punch at a baddie, and Batman leaps across the arena to land his blow.

You then punch when and where the screen tells you to get around the enemies blocks.

If somebody else is attacking, you fling your arm to the side to block and stagger your opponent.

What Are the Big Differences Between the Quest 3 and 3S?

Still, my demos were unnecessarily brief.

Ill need far more time with the headset for a proper review.

I tried to focus on the visual fidelity of the games and apps.

Finding the sweet spot takes more fiddling with the headsets angle than on the Quest 3.

The picture quality isnt quite as good as the 3, but not so bad.

I couldnt comfortably watch a video on the YouTube app as if on a larger display.

The major difference is the FOV.

Donald Trump shakes hands with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Sept. 19, 2019 in the Oval Office of the White House.

Its equivalent to 97 degrees horizontal versus the Quest 3s 110.

Better yet, I didnt see or hear anyone or anything reference metaverse during my demos.

The Quest 3S still wont be a laptop replacement.

Zuckerberg surfs while waving and American flag and drinking a beer.

In this case, the Quest 3S is still best used as a gaming-centric gadget.

It simply does everything the Quest 3 does at a loss-leading price no other brand wants to match.
