Meta Quest 3's full color pass-through was amazing, allowing you to enjoy an overwhelming MR experience that turns your room into a completely different space.
Meta Quest 3 , released by Meta on October 10, 2023, is equipped with two high-definition RGB cameras, and provides pass-through video that allows you to see your surroundings while wearing the headset in high resolution and full color. Now you can Therefore, Meta is appealing the Quest 3 as an MR (mixed reality) device rather than a VR (virtual reality) device. In order to see if you can really experience MR just by changing the pass-through to full color, I actually tried MR content on Quest 3.

I tried setting up Meta Quest 3, but how good is the full-color pass-through MR (mixed reality)? -GIGAZINE
The full color pass-through image taken immediately after setup looks like this. The higher-end model Quest Pro also had a full-color pass-through function, but the colors of the pass-through image are quite natural and you can even read the text written on the container when you pick it up. There is little distortion in the images and the sense of perspective is clear, so I thought I could go about my daily life with the Quest 3 attached to a certain extent.

I will attach Quest 3 and actually use the MR compatible application.
The game you will be playing is the pre-installed ' First Encounters '.
When you start 'First Encounters', it first starts scanning the surrounding environment.
When you look around, it automatically recognizes the room. Not only the floor and walls but also the ceiling will be scanned.
When the scan is finished, click 'Next'.
You can also 'adjust the walls as needed' to set up a space to move around depending on the room. This time, click 'Next'.
When you have completed setting the space, click 'Finish'.
So, the game started. ``We have arrived at a planet with small and cute space creatures'', so the stage seems to be an unknown planet.
Ballin! I heard a tremendous sound, so I turned around and saw that there was a crack in the ceiling.
You can clearly see how the GIGAZINE editorial department conference room suddenly crumbles by watching the movie below.
Fragments of the shattered ceiling are scattered on the floor and desk.
A small spaceship descended from the rift.
A spaceship landed on a desk in a conference room.
The top of the spaceship is open.
A ray gun with an alien-like design has appeared.
When you point the ray gun at it, you can see through the wall and see an unknown planet.
Then, a mysterious small animal bursts through the wall and bursts in.
A small animal rolls on the floor and moves erratically.
I succeeded in shooting it with the gun I had.
The small animals were then captured and placed in a spaceship.
Once you catch one, more and more small animals will burst into the room.
The walls and ceiling of the room begin to crack, and the walls disappear.
As you shoot your guns wildly, the walls will gradually break down.
The following movie shows you trying hard to shoot the mysterious small animals that appear in large numbers in the conference room.
The game is over after a certain amount of time. The spaceship filled with small animals flew into the sky again.
When I thought the score was displayed, something fell from the sky.
A small UFO spins around on a desk in a conference room.
This is what the room looks like after it's finished.
The Quest 3 offers full-color pass-through video, which is a huge improvement over the Quest Pro. The feeling of the reality around you blending with virtual reality content is different from VR or AR, and it's understandable that Meta delivers it with such confidence. The images viewed on the high-brightness LCD display with a resolution of 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye were quite beautiful, and my eyes felt less tired.
Furthermore, although the Quest Touch Plus controller no longer has the annular tracking sensor from the previous generation Quest Touch controller, it is capable of tracking so well that I think it is more accurate than the previous generation, making the operation stress-free. Another important point was that this had been greatly reduced.
However, as I thought when I put it on, I was a little concerned about the amount of light coming in from the nose. This is a point that I noticed with the Quest 2 and Quest Pro, and if you want to increase the immersion feeling, it might be a good idea to stuff it with a small towel or tissue to block the light from entering.
