00:00 I finally tried Apple's Vision Pro and you know I have to say that before this I expected that

00:06 Quest would be the better value for most people since it's really good and it's like seven times

00:10 less expensive, but after using it I don't just think that Quest is the better value, I think the

00:16 Quest is the better product period. And you know the different companies made different design

00:20 decisions for the headsets, they have different strengths, but overall Quest is better for the

00:26 vast majority of things that people use mixed reality for. Now my friend Kenny is actually

00:31 capturing this video on Quest's high resolution mixed reality pass-through right now, we're just

00:36 here in my living room and you can see his browser windows and you know whatever else he's got

00:41 running up here. So yeah, Quest 3 does high quality pass-through with big screens just like Vision Pro,

00:48 but we also designed it to be great for a lot of other things, moving around, playing games,

00:54 hanging out with friends and socializing, working out and more. Quest, you know, I think is just a

00:59 lot more comfortable. You know we designed it to weigh 120 grams less which makes a really big

01:05 difference on your face. There's no wires that get in the way when you move around, it's a big deal.

01:10 Our field of view is wider and I found our screen to be brighter also. I also noticed that you know

01:16 Apple's headset has this motion blur as you move around which Quest is just a lot crisper. Now

01:22 Apple's screen does have a higher resolution and that's really nice, but I was surprised by how

01:29 many trade-offs they had to make to the quality of the device and the comfort and ergonomics

01:33 and other aspects of the display and artifacts in order to get to that. Now for input, Quest supports

01:40 precision controllers that are great for games. Both headsets support hand tracking, but you know

01:45 I found ours to be a little more accurate. Apple's eye tracking is really nice. We actually had those

01:51 sensors back in Quest Pro. We took them out for Quest 3 and we're going to bring them back in the

01:54 future. It's a nice interface. It's not perfect for everything though. For typing or complex tasks

02:00 you're going to want things like hands or a keyboard or controllers or eventually a neural

02:06 interface for those kind of inputs. Quest's immersive content library is a lot deeper. You

02:11 know we've been working with studios building virtual and mixed reality games and other content

02:16 for a long time now and if you want to watch YouTube or play Xbox on a big screen anywhere you

02:21 go, that's only available on Quest for now. So you know when I look around it seems like there are a

02:28 lot of people who just assumed that Vision Pro would be higher quality because it's Apple and

02:33 it costs $3,000 more, but you know honestly I'm pretty surprised that Quest is so much better for

02:39 the vast majority of things that people use these headsets for with that price differential. Now

02:45 look I know that you know some fanboys get upset whenever anyone dares to question if Apple's going

02:50 to be the leader in a new category, but the reality is is that every generation of computing has an

02:56 open and a closed model. And yeah in mobile Apple's closed model won, but it's not always that way.

03:02 If you go back to the PC era Microsoft's open model was the winner and in this next generation

03:08 meta is going to be the open model and I really want to make sure that the open model wins out

03:13 again. The future is not yet written so you know I want to take a moment to just thank everyone

03:19 who's been building with us for more than a decade. That goes for both Quest and the Ray-Ban

03:24 meta glasses which are doing way better than I even hoped that they would. You know as the old

03:29 saying goes, the best way to predict the future is to invent it.
