You can just ask for the dinosaur and they often will do it, from the folks I know who have gone in. Has anyone here used the AVP with AirPods Max? The pros hurt my ears after an hour or 2 of use, and I'd want to benefit from the better noise cancellation of the Max anyway.

I'm trying to find something that will let me fit a Magic Keyboard and Magic Touchpad in something to let it be more or less the same ergonomics as a MacBook Pro keyboard & touchpad; this way I can essentially use this like a headless laptop. So far I've found some acrylic stuff that looks sort of jank; anyone found a good solution for something like this?

Yeah those aren't quite flush and I just know it would get to me over time. Ideally I'd love something identical to a M1 16" MBP base, in weight and size. metztli fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Feb 22, 2024 |

Mine arrived - I messed around with it for a couple of hours, and my takeaway from it is 100% positive so far. I found it to be pretty comfortable - solo strap, Zeiss inserts are great, no issues with strain or weight. Zero discomfort - like after a bit I basically just forgot I was wearing a headset for the most part. A little bit of light bleed depending on how I was sitting or standing, but I had to kind of try to notice it rather than it being inescapable with other headsets I've used in the past. Gestures are totally natural - was zipping around in a couple of minutes despite not having tried it before. Hand tracking is perfect in regular light. Eye tracking is great - quickly got into the habit of not looking away from what I was doing, and felt pretty comfortable after a few minutes with very few accidental tweaks, and I stopped thinking about what I was doing and just did stuff automatically within half an hour. App experience was a little weird at first; my persona is terrifying (in a fun way), setting up accounts and stuff with 1password and eye verification was a little quirky but settled in about 5 minutes. Passthrough is much better than the Quest - not even close; a little blurry but I can certainly read my phone and such through it. Software keyboard is trash, but voice to text was flawless. Theater experience was fantastic, I watched a bit of a 3d Marvel movie while sitting on the moon and it was great. The scenes were "dark" but I didn't see any of the glare etc. that people seem to say comes about when watching dark scenes. Being able to have a crisp picture on an arbitrarily huge screen is great - not just for the theater but also for web browsing and looking at some documents - I expect that I'll be able to have a lot of real estate, more conveniently set up, for a mix of work stuff and personal use. Now that I've got things installed, the next thing is to test out pairing with my MacBook and trying the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad to control things, streaming from my PC via Moonlight, and seeing about streaming from my Xbox. The one callout I really want to make is how quickly it felt natural vs. when I've used a Quest 3 or anything else - with those I really couldn't forget I was using a headset and controllers, or trying to use hand gestures, but with this thing it was just seamless. THAT is the thing that makes this magic - that it's just ... not there. metztli fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Feb 28, 2024 |
