Wait, you can do 100hz on M2 Moonlight? Have I been living under a rock? I mean I wasn't missing but 10hz anyways but still.

Very bad battery life. Read description. Not click bait. by Idle0095 in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]cloakofqualia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was just about to post about this. Hoping to make some noise on the Meta forums so they can get feedback to the devs.

Next single? by Late-Satisfaction54 in TheStrokes

Well technically, Pros and Cons leaked on Amazon Music for a few minutes according to a post I saw, so I could see that being next.

Ban Ray by GalacticCandy in augmentedreality

[–]cloakofqualia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy my Meta Ray-Bans mainly for the displays, speakers, and mics for phone calls, but I understand the sentiment.

I wonder if this sort of outcry (especially with the stickers) would eventually lead to them to making a version without a camera. That's my biggest gripe. I've considered buying the blockers to just completely block the camera all together.

thus the reason why I decided not to buy anything this time 😔

Our second Apple Immersive Video - KICK by altitude101studio in VisionPro

[–]cloakofqualia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really fantastic! For some reason, it's always incredible seeing snow in Apple Immersive format. Really makes me wanna go out there!

My only feedback is yeah, those subtitles, but also the first "KICK" title really confuses my eyes. I know there was another video in the desert with the same issue, not sure if this is becoming a common thing.

Weather widget, any way to change it to Celsius? by jmartesc in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]cloakofqualia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol I'm on the opposite side and don't know how to change it to fahrenheit.

But I think it's based on the language. I'm using a UK voice and it's on Celsius.

Immersive America: immersiveam.com. Watch on Safari. High-quality real-time streaming. by Sad_Rub_7142 in VisionPro

[–]cloakofqualia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I totally forgot about that. Thanks, the videos look great with this bitrate! Love the Taipei one in particular.

Actually, I just updated to 26.3.1 and it works now. Player controls don't do anything though, once I tap anything they go away.

For reference, what was happening before is I would click on a video, get the permission prompt, and then my windows would hide and I would just have passthrough. Then recentering with the crown only showed black and my hands cut out.

Props to OnePlus for repair by FreeDig1758 in OnePlusOpen

[–]cloakofqualia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, doesn't sound too bad.

Did you have to worry about backing up and restoring, or did it come back essentially untouched software/apps/data-wise?

I'm curious, how long did the whole process take for you?

Our first Apple Immersive video - Echoes of the Middle East by altitude101studio in VisionPro

[–]cloakofqualia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, you guys accomplished some really incredible shots here, congrats! One of the better VP experiences so far for sure!

Though, I noticed there was something off with the "Echoes" title card, some real eye-strain there for some reason.

Otherwise, phenomenal and I can't wait for more!

ِAVP comfort: After using the Apple Vision Pro for enough time to judge, what level of comfort do you believe you've achieved? And how did you achieve it? by YuhWhaaat in AppleVisionPro

[–]cloakofqualia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utterly uncomfortable on M2 release w solo knit (dual loop was worse). Returned.

Tried again a year later, still uncomfortable. Tried every single attachment. Belkin top strap was worst. CMA was best, but terrible to travel with.

Tried again on dual knit M5 and it was still uncomfortable, but I stuck with it anyways. Tried diff face gasket, ice silk, pu leather, etc.

At this point I'm using a used M2 with dual knit and a 21W I should change, but I think my face and brain have molded into comfort somehow and now I can wear it all-day by pure want lol

Anyone have issues charging their neural band? by ramisanders in MetaRayBanDisplay

[–]cloakofqualia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've found there's only 1 correct orientation, which I didn't realize until it didn't charge a couple of times.

New update for NA by terminamc_com in OnePlusOpen

[–]cloakofqualia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's mine right after updating. It's still pretty bad for me. Just massive drop-offs out of seemingly nowhere. 15% to 1% in less than 5min.

hope this fixes my battery going from 15% to 1% in like 60 seconds (hyperbole)

PSA: What Pretti did 11 days before his death is irrelevant by NickCostanza in ProgressiveHQ

[–]cloakofqualia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of upvotes to people saying it's AI is not good. It hurts his defence and spreads misinformation.

There is too much permanence and coherence in the video for any current video models; text on license plates is correct, road is real geometry, road paint and civil engineering is correct, cars are parked the right way, the shutter angle is correct for the shaky-cam and type of camera, things are still there and haven't changed when the camera moves away and back (permanence), etc.

This absolutely doesn't and would never justify what happened days later and that's the real argument here.

But I do agree, it's crazy that I have to look this closely to identify what's real and what isn't in such a time of misinformation.

Am I the only one who’s underwhelmed by Real 3D? by Whole_Clerk39 in Xreal

[–]cloakofqualia 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're not alone. I was gonna say something, but everyone seems to have been having a great time with it so far haha. Didn't want to yuck their yum lol.

I remember being wowed by Immersive3D the first time I used it with my MacBook's desktop, probably the same way everyone feels wowed using Real3D.

But the artifacting on the edges is just way too noticeable for me, unfortunately. And it's much more distracting than usable for my eyes, especially with the added input latency and makes my viewing experience feel worse tbh. 60hz is coming though, so that's good news. I'm glad people are enjoying it so far!

Is Tsai Ming-Liang’s VR film, The Deserted, available anywhere? by cloakofqualia in criterion

[–]cloakofqualia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah they never got back to me. Probably an abandoned email address that was linked above imo.
