Seems there are no plans for eye tracking for the upcoming Quest 3.  Which is a shame, as shown by the Aero and DCS eye tracking with dynamic foveated rendering can make a substantial difference in the performance.  Of course this is all likely based on leaks and speculation.

No mention of the lenses and the not being noticeably sharper comment might suggest it isn’t getting the Quest Pro lenses as reviews of the Pro suggest they are a considerable improvement over the Q2

Apart from display resolution which is unknown and the potential for pancake lenses, the interesting thing is the new XR2 2nd gen chip.

 

The current limitation of current 1st gen chipe (present in Quest2 and Pico4) is the decoding 150Mbits limit for the h265 codec.

 

Brad was talking about that 7 months ago....

Some indications seem to point more toward mobile for the Quest 3. That and AR. Time will tell I reckon.

Quest 3 does not seem to be that revolutionairy after all. After questions asked to an Apple CEO it seems the FOV is about the same as the Quest 2's and also the weight. The weight is still almost completely on the forehead as the strap does not house the battery. I still think pico 4 has not that much to fear, at least not regarding PCVR and il-2!
