Still, its higher than what it was in the Quest/Quest 2.
At the beginning of my time withthe Meta Quest 3S, I was convinced I missed this experience.
But by the end, I remembered why I dont pick these things up too often.
It was a little too close to Sabrina for me.
At one point, another avatar entered the area and started dancing with me.
This person was sweet about showing me around the virtual playground.
We moved over to a hovering alien spaceship doling out music notes.
I had success with other parts of the Quest 3Ss experience.
I watched the beginning of the Celine Dion special on Amazon Prime.
I sat in a field of daisies in an 8K, 3D YouTube video.
I moved around some windows andpoorlystacked them for the hell of it.
I tried to play anXbox game, but the demonstration controller wasnt working.
However,I didnt expect that reaction while sitting in a chair.
Thats likely all I will do the next time I don a headset: sit down.
Meta may have figured out a way to dial down the price on the Quest.
But it must still figure out how to sell sensitive stomachs like mineinvirtual and mixed reality.
