Why do experiences with the Quest 3's passthrough quality vary so wildly among users? This is my take on the Meta Quest 3's passthrough quality.
I've sifted through thousands of posts, comments, blogs, and watched tons of Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset reviews to try to weave users' stories and decode the intricacies of Meta's latest mixed reality console. From the grainy and blurry depths of heightened expectations to the undeniable role of individual settings and lighting on the Quest 3 cameras, this video sheds light on the mixed reality that the Quest 3 offers.
Whether you're a seasoned VR enthusiast or a curious onlooker, this deep dive into the Quest 3's passthrough will uproot your expectations and dispel the hype on passthrough technology.
Which camp do you fall in: crystal clear or grainy mess?

UPDATE: Meta confirmed 10/24 that passthrough quality can be improved via future software updates as their AI learns our environments from user data. - I very much enjoy the passthrough experience, it simply didn't live up to the level of clarity that was hyped.

Regarding the Bobovr M3 pro. I ended dropping a 'undred quid on the M2 pro with dual battery's and 3d printed a conversion kit so it fits the Quest3. Works a treat. I couldn't wait for the M3 as it's release kept slipping and the few that became available flew off the shelves faster than toilet paper during lockdown 😊

@@srgpip5620 - That's legit a smart idea - I was debating doing the same. I couldn't catch a M3 from Amazon and their website claimed 3-4 week shipping times and had weird charges added so I didn't follow through. I might follow your footsteps since the batteries seem to be the same - and then just upgrade the batteries whenever they make a better version of those.

I took my Quest 3 back for a refund. There was this issue. Passthrough looked like sh1t. There is also the terrible battery life, and adding an external battery pack barely helps. I predict a lot of headsets with dead batteries after the one year warranty has expired. If you buy this headset prior to a revised version of it, with a better battery pack, you may be wasting your money IMHO.

Definitely was overhyped. It is a significant improvement from the Quest 2, but looking at all the early reviews saying the pass through is so crisp and clear is a lie. I thought I had a defective device, so I got a replacement and still got the same grainy, unclear pass through experience.

100% agreed. It's definitely still usable, but I feel the overhype did a disservice to the community and caused panic + confusion instead of enjoyment of the new tech we have access to. Also just FYI in case you haven't yet seen, Meta announced yesterday they are going to be able to improve the passthrough experience quality via software improvements as they get more data from people's cameras.

The update a few days ago did absolutely nothing to improve such. It really is one of the biggest marketing cons I’ve seen. Sure, it’s great as a stand-alone VR device. But for mixed reality is an absolutely gimmick and has me questioning the veracity of some reviewers !! It’s rife in the e sim racing community.

That was a very thoughtful and well done review! You answered all of the questions I had and more. Now that I am able to move past my initial disappointment, I'm beginning to feel that with the crisp graphics that are overelayed onto the grainy background for mixed games at least, whether it will become less of an issue in my peripheral vision. No doubt this will continue to plague for virtual offices. Here's hoping that Meta,s software will be up to the challenge! Thanks again!

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch. And agreed - the MR experience works because of the overlay graphics.. even in an office setting because once you are in a flow state, you don't really notice your surroundings anyway because you're working on the screens. I have a full review coming where I share my thoughts on mixed reality as a whole. It will probably take me a couple weeks to get it out because it will be somewhat long.

This is easily the best and most detailed review on the pass through on the quest 3 I have seen so far. And from what I understand is that people aren’t lying that the pasthrough is good, it just looks much clearer if it’s recorded compared to the somewhat cruddy irl passthrough. I am actually gonna test that now! Thank you again for answering every question I had about it!

​@@TheDigitalGuerrillawell according to Meta's CTO,Andrew Bosworth:"Yes,it will continue to improve as we continue to get real world lightning conditions and information from the headsets that have been picked up, we start to tune the algorithms that drive it more effectively. And so i do think it will continue to improve - modestly - from here for a little while as we do a better job depth estimating with where your hands and working with the distortion around that, and things like that. So yeah, we're gonna continue to work on it as we have with the quest pro." So if u trust what he say then the answer will be yes , the pass through will improve.

Welcome board!! And thank you for taking the time to watch. MR has a ways to go in my opinion, but if you want to be there at the ground floor then this is the time. Otherwise, I'd wait a bit to see if more experiences get released! I'm on the developer newsletter list and Meta pushed out occlusion updates to developers with a bunch of new SDK features a couple months back.. so I presume we'll have some awesome experiences on the way. Currently, it still feels like a bit of a gimmick.. and the long-awaited augments was only just released like recently (so recently I don't even have the update on my device yet) but we already know it's going to be a bit gimmicky as well.

I did the same thing you did, after being shocked at the graininess, and exclaiming to my wife "something's wrong!" I tried to pick a the front of the camera on my Quest 3 to see if there were hard to see plastic film protectors over the cameras for shipping purposes (there weren't). I've now pretty much accepted that certain things look very grainy in my apartment, and have come to enjoy the passthrough after my initial disappointment. It actually helps me accept it that I learned it's not a defect on my headset but a general problem. But I never had plans to use it for virtual monitors like you did, just for fun.

I'm finally about to get into the gaming side of things now that I've finished this video.

I had only ever used wired VR headsets for my PC, so I was super excited to finally try out a wireless standalone headset for the first time! I got the Quest 3 yesterday for Christmas, and my dad and me have been bringing it around to show to friends and family the cool mixed reality features (first encounter) during my experience with it, I was actually able to read my phone and computer screen/keyboard pretty well. Of course, it did strain my eyes a bit, so I eventually just opted to remove the headset to see. As for other things not so small, I didn't really have much issue other than the blurry edges when moving around a lot. I personally thought it was extremely cool to use, however I do agree that the ads do not show a true depiction of what it actually looks like inside the headset. I love my headset, and I plan to continue using it

Even after I got to a point where I could read my OLED phone, I still can't read my IPS computer displays (unless I scale the UI/fonts up a lot). Also love mine! Excited to see what new stuff comes in the future now that they have mixed reality occlusion ready for developers to take advantage of and full upper body tracking. Should be a fun couple years.

I totally agree when viewing through the headset, its not that clear and did a test and recorded my session and the recording i saw was exactly what ive been seeing on youtube channels just as you mentioned. Its pretty clear and its not what you actually see when youre wearing the headsets. I think a lot of content creators fail to mention this. Its true, there's no way to actually record what the user really sees through the headsets. It is passable and not a deal killer.

This is the most honest review! I used to develop on magic leap and thought pass through reality would be somewhat similar to real hologram AR! I was so disappointed that I thought I got a defective device. For pass through to look better we’d need better cameras and much better AI. But I’m still very doubtful whether this can be ever used for work and daily life. Maybe we need a lightweight hologram glasses that only do the certain things, and a pass through reality glasses for playing games.

Both 512gb. Rebooted. Charged fully and drained fully, and with and without the Binbok extra batteries too. I have noticed on mine that there are some instances I notice an improvement on mine un different apps, so I'm leaning towards a bug fix Or quite possibly inconsistency in the pancake lenses and refraction of light by different apps in certain areas of the screen

probably they have the same focus issues like action cameras. Since the the focus is fixed on those cameras the quality control is important. If the focus wasnt set right, the camera will be blurred on near objectfor example, others go Pros have the sweet spot in the distance and so on. If that is the case with the Quest3 you can not change it with software. The passtrough on mine looks like like a 2006 webcam. I feel only the VR fanatics scream "amazing" because they are used to low standards i guess, For me as VR beginner it looks terrible.

I too am a first time buyer for vr. You spoke my mind exactly, from a technology progession standard it is much better, or so I hear, but to us people watching the ads and glowing reviews from previous vr enthusiasts, it seemed to alter our expectations to something a little more, refined. Like the video said, it's passable. But but I would imagine VR is easier than AR since there are unlimited variables. ​@danbarb9728

Great video, literally had the same thoughts. I thought I forgot to take stickers off the lenses. I saw some videos where people mentioned the pass through they had was great and they could just about make out text but I really struggle seeing anything on my phone and need to take the headset off to check my emails for passcodes to log in KZfaq etc. This week i did think the detail improved… possibly from a software but im not sure. Lighting definitely improves seeing more detail. I was going to return my quest 3 and get a new one but I’m glad I came across this video and can see the majority of people are facing the same thing. Im sure the quality will improve with software updates but even if it doesn’t it’s still an amazing device for the price.

I had photo as a hobby before and took what is called "photospheres", like you turn around and take several photos that is stitched to a 360 image, this work well if you are in an area where objects are far away, like you strand in a field in a rural landscape, but when object come closer and have a background a bit away it became almost impossible to stitch the images together, and that on a powerful PC that spent up to 10 minutes try to warp each image to get a perfect fit, that headset try to do the same thing in real time with a weaker CPU, and even more amazing if it can do so with a phone on a half arm length away when it is in an area between the lenses in a spot where optics always get a bit blurry and distorted. I do not have that headset, but you need to get the camera in a straight line in front of one of the lenses, and my guess is that those lenses is sat to have a perfect focus around 170 to 200 cm, onder that and things will start to get out of focus and need sharpening.

I watched a very interesting video by Bringhurst VR yesterday - he reset his headset 6-8 times and on the last factory reset - BOOM! - the passthorugh was crisp and clear. He had no explanation and he has been highly critical of the passthrough quality, trying desperately to get it to improve. Somehow, after multiple resets, he got it! His passthrough is so clear, people on Reddit thought he was trolling with his through-lens filming with a phone - they accused him of actually removing the internals and shooting through the headset through plain glass! I don't know, but mine is grainy as well and I'm quite tempted to do a few resets to see if I can get that kind of clarity.

One reason I think that reports are mixed. For users in Europe, you either have to choose ( via settings>headset tracking ) between syncing the headset to your lighting (50hz) or to your monitor frequency (60hz). The former will give you good tracking, and stop lights from flickering, the latter will allow you to see your mobile or computer screens clearly. If you are lucky you have a display or mobile that can do 120hz+ since that will give you the best of both worlds

Another great video on what for me is one of the most important features for AR applications. Currently in my opinion only Varjo headsets do an excellent job regarding passthrough, but they cost a lot, are not standalone and are really for professional use. I have the pico 4 and its not worth replacing with a Quest 3. I think when the XR3 chip comes out, hopefully later this year, it will be the real game changer for standalone headsets - true 4K and more per eye, 35 ppd, eye tracking etc…👍

Appreciate that! I haven't gotten to test one of the higher-end Varjos (XR-3 + 4), unfortunately. However, I did just snag an Apple Vision Pro and its passthrough is better quality than the Quest 3's; I wouldn't claim that it's miles ahead, but it is surely a decent step up. I believe SadlyItsBradley compared it to the quality of XR-3 passthrough. I hope that I get a chance to look through an XR-4 once they get it fully settled! But yes, the 4k screens + higher PPD + eye tracking will hopefully become the new standard. I'm super impressed with the AVP so far + the OS with ability to overlay apps has restored faith that we're heading in the right direction. I'm with you there and super stoked for the next-gen devices with XR3 + Samsung's incoming refreshed micro OLEDs.

I just got the Quest 3 today, and like you said, it was a blurry mess. The only thing nice about it is that it was emitting images in colors versus the ones I used in the past which were black and white. Also, I noticed the virtual objects that I played with during the setup, the image quality is slightly better than previous gen. For anyone new user, keep your expectation low, the pass through world through the quest 3 lens seems like you are wondering in the dream, like that unclear dark fuzzy world that you often witness yourself in your dream. Other than that games are better looking than previous gen, at the moment, I am checking out videos and tips n tricks to optimize my experience.

This boost to the cpu/gpu and redering resolution will come at the cost of decreased playtime as it will suck up battery.

@aline.tech.reviews
@aline.tech.reviews 3 ай бұрын
Watching movies and playing games is not nearly as grainy as the passthrough experience! The passthrough is unique and has a lot of noise from the cameras + is doing a lot of compression/stitching/mapping. I generally find that movies and games are high quality. For example, even watching KZfaq videos on a giant theatre screen looks awesome. It's nowhere near a 4k OLED TV, and you can see gaps between and individual pixels if you look for them, but it's definitely good enough. It's even better in games because you are immersed in the experience and pay less attention to things like the screen door effect/gaps between pixels; this is especially true if you use Quest Games Optimizer or run a PCVR game.

In Workrooms (the default Meta version), the displays seem limited to 1920x1200 (up to 3 of them). All locked at what seems to be 60hz. It's fairly smooth; there's a little jitteriness around the edges when you move your head, and the screens do wiggle a bit.. but it's not something that throws me off at all because there's also a motion blur that happens as you move your head that smooths it out and makes it feel "natural". It's hard to put into words how the wiggle looks, but its like the pixels are slightly shifting their perspective to fit where you're looking better. The screens are fairly "locked in space" (in general I feel all the VR windows/settings/etc. "lock" super well into 3d space.. it's really impressive how well that feature works when you walk around your house). If I headbang like I'm at a rock concert, then I can exaggerate it, but it still doesn't get that bad! I have found that the when in full passthrough mode, though, the cameras are worse than they are when just using passthrough by itself to walk around.. so your environment gets extra blurry, a little wavy and warps as you move your head (way more movement than the slight wiggle from the screens). When I'm at my desk and actively working, I prefer to be in the virtual environment using the passthrough window to see only my keyboard/mouse - and then I tap out to full passthrough if I am doing something outside of direct PC focus. Important note keep in mind that the resolution isn't going to match your triple monitor widescreen setup in here - there's just not enough pixels to go around so the crispness of your screens is reduced (but still usable!). I'd say that's probably the biggest limitation I've found as it makes reading text for a long time difficult. In Quest Link mode, though, you can use your full screen resolution as a massive display in front of you which makes it feel like you're in an IMAX front row. I can't tell what refresh rate it's at though, it can't match my monitor and feels like 60hz still. There's also no passthrough option in here that I can find.. so it's fully a virtual world with your screen in front of you. The experience and fidelity of the screen in this space is much better than the Workrooms passthrough, but I can only seem to have 1 screen up at a time. There are 2 more apps that I'm going to finish testing out "Immersed VR" and "Virtual Desktop" - they both support passthrough and the latter has 120hz support now. They also give you much more control over your virtual screen size/placement/etc. I need a lot more time to play with them and test before I can give my opinions! I haven't had time to set up the latter as it requires a 5ghz router connected to your PC and I spent the past two weeks playing with passthrough cameras and making this video.. but I have set myself a reminder to check back in with you here as I do plan to test them all this weekend.

@@aline.tech.reviews wow thank you sooooo much for the massive in depth answer!! It sounds like it is totally useable then in workrooms and the pass through us totally useable and tough to make it looks bad. Now I'm very curious to hear what you have to say when you test out Immersed VR and Virtual Desktop. A 120hz experience has to feel l buttery smooth compared to the 60hz just like when phones finally made that jump and I could never look at a 60hz screen the same way again. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your updates!

I initially used the Quest 3 at night with just the room lights on, so I thought the bad video quality was understandable. But then I tried it the next morning, and it was almost equally as grainy in a pretty well lit room. Like you say, the video output is so much different from the quality through the lenses, so it's almost impossible to get an accurate representation of what the quality is really like.

That was my observation exactly - it looks like the Quest 3 is able to capture sharp passthrough footage in snapshots and recordings, but due to processor limitations it's not able to actually show it that way in realtime when you have the headset on - that is where the 7x$ Vision Pro has the edge (although Apple also kind of cheats in a very smart way, as they use their eye tracking to only render sharply the areas you're looking at - smart because that is actually the eyes process the world, too. So kudos to them for figuring that out!).

Dont worry avp is the same case u can read a screen for exactly 7 inches of diference between both headsets, so its a little better But still far from the video recording quality

Lighting makes a MASSIVE difference, I used my phone light on objects and all the crispiness went away, sad thing is my room isn't that well-lit :(

Thanks for the advise on device brightness. I was wondering why my entire S24 ultra screen was washing out and so over saturated and realized it was because I had it on max brightness. dropping it to 20% brightness made the colors more accurate and the ohone actually readable. My macbook screen on the other hand feels like I'm blind and I need to squint to make out what I type. The keyboard itself is easy to read but the screen is unuseable.

You're very welcome, I'm glad it helped! I haven't had a ton of luck with my computer monitors, either 😔 They push out too much light unless you have an OLED screen with a black background.
