A video has been released on the Meta Quest YouTube channel promoting the usefulness of the Meta Quest 3 in everyday life. The commercial shows a man using the device to assemble a crib.

He has Whatsapp, YouTube, and a browser window in front of him as virtual panels and uses a pinch gesture, to pull one of the three windows closer to him, which is not yet possible on Quest.

The guy in the video literally just watches a video and compares a picture of a screw with an actual one. I don’t think anyone would bother putting on a headset for that.

If someone is buying a Quest for productivity I think they’ll be very disappointed. The new window management looks like a welcome improvement though.

If they manage to cut around the hand and screw for the guy to see it in front of the screens that would be huge.

Haha I didn’t even think of that. He has to hold it to the side, otherwise the window is covering it up ^^

I do know virtual occlusion is something they hope to bring during the Quest 3's life span. Using the depth sensor and a well-trained algorithm, they hope to pare it down to something functionally decent that can run within the available performance envelope. I don't know how close they are now. But they have been working on it since before Quest pro, since it was originally gonna have a depth sensor too.

Afaik the Vision Pro is projecting a point cloud and there’s a good chance that’s not dense enough for a single screw. Also, the VP is only trained on hands, so whenever you see someone hold a phone the phone is invisible and the hand occlusion is almost perfect there.

I‘m guessing it’ll be a long time until something as small as a screw will be properly occluded on Quest, which currently doesn’t have any kind of occlusion.
