Meta Quest 3 Outdoors Test ☀ in the Sun

Correction: Beatsaber scene was "Expert" mode not "Expert+" mode as mentioned in the video. Additional Info: 1.) Under developer options you can turn off security boundaries. This disables the ability to use pass-through mode in the home environment. However in many mixed reality apps it works and the annoying warning can be disabled this way. 2.) The max guardian area on Quest 3 is around 10x10 meters or 100 square since I did 12 steps (step size slightly below 1 meter). 3.) I don't know what determines the orientation of the play area, my guess would be the direction you look when resetting the home screen by pressing the meta button before the set up process of the boundary. 4.) Using the headset without a face cushion seems to work a bit better with the BOBOVR M3 halo head strap which is more stable then the cheap one I currently use. 5.) The safety and warranty guide of Quest 3 contains a warning regarding outside use: It says: "Not recommended for use outdoors. Because of uncontrolled hazards to arise (for example, uneven slippery surfaces, weather conditions and unexpected objects/vehicles/people/animals). Lighting conditions that are too bright may prevent your Quest's sensors and navigation safety features from working optimally, and may lead to tracking loss." In my testing running fast and elevation changes can lead to issues plane fields even with monotone green surrounding worked very well.

Also if you buy a new headset you can use the headset referral code which gives both of us 30$ in Meta Quest Store credit when you use the referral link before setting up the headset. Link is created with my German account. If you get an error opening the link saying "not valid" see below to learn how to find working links for your country) https://tinyurl.com/55yfeum6 You can probably still get the 30$ even after you bought the headset. You have a few days time window to reset your headset to factory settings via this page https://secure.oculus.com/my/devices/ and after resetting go through the normal referral process. The links seem to be country specific and it might only work with completely new accounts. The app referral codes is another way to save money. They give you 25% off. They are not country specific. You should use them when daily deals are not available, the Quest games are just too expensive. Here I provide you with the codes for the best games/apps I have in my library and which I can recommend.

Grips: I use the VRCover ones but they need to be modified (sand paper) in the grip button area to be comfortable. US: https://amzn.to/46S68QY Look out for upcoming quest 3 versions. The Quest 2 ones fit but you need to clamp in the safety lanyard to prevent slipping. Facial Interfaces: Look out for Quest 3 versions from VRCover. The leather ones for Quest 2 were excellent and available in different thicknesses to increase field of view + holes for better ventilation reducing lenses fogging.
