Overall Good, Tracking a little worse

Overall, I liked this over the Quest 2. The head strap definitely needs a third-party accessory, preferably one with extra battery life. The controllers also need an accessory. The AR was pretty cool with testing it out in some apps, but nothing spectacular yet. The Hand tracking was the biggest disappointment. I noticed when climbing in a game, the tracking is not as good as the Quest 2. I think it's because no cameras are on the top, like on Quest 2. It requires me to raise my head and have my hands more outward. I primarily use that for Population One gaming, so I'm still trying to work out how to adapt after a month.
Upgrade from my Quest 2, jumped into it since e my Quest 2 broke and I am very happy with the upgrade. The color pass through is a huge improvement from the quest 2 and as a person with glasses I find this one much easier to accomadete with the new insert.
The new Quest 3 is easier than ever to jump right into experiencing XR (AR, MR, and VR) for the first time while giving a taste of what the latest world of XR can do. No more need to dangle cables from your head, setup a dedicated play environment, or for needlessly dumping a ton of money into a gaming rig (companion computer setup). Except for internet and Wi-Fi service, this one device is all-in for getting started. It gently guides the newest newbie through setup and operation. Even the setup process is fun and mesmerizing, watching mixed-reality feel-out your environment, so, for example, fluffy space creatures get a chance to hide behind your bed or couch while you capture them with a zap. Oh, and don't worry about what appears to be the destruction of your home, as holes get punched in the walls or sheet rock from the ceiling begins to fall and scatter all over the floor. It will all be repaired and cleaned-up as quickly as you can take off the headset. I promise.
Worth the money with “Walkabout Mini Golf”. Keeps me in touch with my children that are living far from home. Only slight negative is that I see no effect from the thumb wheel spacing adjustment.
The Quest 3 design and the hardware and presentation is phenomenal. There is one fault and the reason I returned mine. During regular use the lenses will fog up. It needs a small fan.
