3D movies - where do you get them?

I have been looking for a way to watch movies in 3D in my Quest 3. So far the closest thing I got was some videos in DeoVR, Photo, etc., which are all trailers and other user generated content. There are a lot of media player apps that are promoted as capable of playing 3D videos but they don’t provide streaming. My understanding is that Disney + will soon start doing that but didn’t provide a timeline.

With that in mind, has anyone found a source to download 3D movies, sports match videos or other long form content to then play it on the Quest 3?

does anyone use their Quest to watch immersive videos?

not talking about regular movies on a giant virtual screen, but actual 180 degree 3D videos where you feel like you're there.

do you watch those often? if not, what is the reason (lack of content, the headset, video quality, etc.)?

I recently tried the Apple Vision Pro and the immersive football demo genuinely blew me away. Wondering if I can get smth like that with the Quest.

Frustration with missing marble and non-sliding fireplace in The 7th Guest

I'm playing the original 2023 VR version of The 7th Guest on a Quest 3S, and I'm stuck on two puzzles in Dutton's bedroom.

1.EDIT: solved. Sliding fireplace: I can see the puzzle mechanism behind the narrow opening, but I cannot get the fireplace panel to slide out. The handle doesn't respond at all. I've tried using the Spirit Lantern throughout the area, and the animal head's eyes glow red, but nothing else happened.

This one is still not solved:

2. Secret safe: I've found the wall safe beside the desk, with the gears and marble mechanism. Pressing the button at the top doesn't dispense a marble.

I've already solved the wardrobe and money-trophy puzzles in this room.

Can someone who's completed these puzzles tell me exactly what activates the fireplace and what should cause the marble to appear? I'm trying to determine whether I've missed a prerequisite, an interaction, or encountered a bug.

I'm playing seated, so please mention if either puzzle requires a particular angle or reach.

Full spoilers are absolutely welcome!

Hyper Bullet add-ons

To those of you play Hyper Bullet, the rogue-like target shooter, I'm wondering if the add-ons, the shotgun and SMG are worth it. I have no interest in endless mode, since 15 waves is the perfect number in my opinion. Should I still get the bundle?

Thanks.

Headphone Help

I’m looking for over-ear, wired HyperX headphones for my Quest 3 that have a detachable cable. The problem is that the Quest 3’s 3.5mm headphone jack is on the RIGHT side, while most headphones have the cable connecting to the LEFT earcup. I want to route the cable behind my head so there’s no cable dangling near my body that I could hit while playing VR. I was thinking about getting a short replacement cable, maybe 8-18 inches, but I’m not sure what length I’d need or whether it’d even reach. I’m considering the HyperX Cloud Alpha, but I’m not sure which replacement cable would fit it and support the microphone. Does anyone have experience with a setup like this, or know exactly which headphones and cable I should get? Links would be appreciated!

Can i use insta (apps) while i watch a movie e.g. 2 apps at once.

Hey so I want to use my movie player app but also use another app at the same time while in the movie app.

Right now I can have a film playing and launch Insta ...but I then lose control and sound of the film player and can't get it back despite tech having 2 apps on at once. I have to close Insta to get full control of the movie app.

I believe in MR lets you have multiple apps but they're not vr... I want to be in my film app but with another app running. E.g. Kind of like when you check your phone while watching a film IRL.

  • Is there a way to have full control over atleast 2 apps at once...but within 1 app.

I don't want 2 games running lol just a movie and a social media app.

Thanks :)

I made Sega Rally (1995 arcade) playable in real 3D VR on a standalone Quest 3. Not a flat screen in a virtual room.

Recorded straight from the headset (the tilt is me looking around).

The arcade's own 3D world is redrawn for each eye with a custom Vulkan renderer: real depth, head-tracked cockpit, 120 Hz, HD textures. Everything runs on the Quest 3, no PC.

GitHub coming soon, link to follow it in the comments.

Quest 3 individual components weight

For those who watched several Steam frame reviews comparing its weight and comfortability to Quest 3 and wondered about possible modifications to make Quest 3 lighter.

  • I'm using my Quest 3 without its internal battery and facial interface and with a comfortable halo head strap.
  • The Quest 3 is about 333 g without its internal battery plus the 200 g of the halo head strap.
  • The battery is wired at about 80 cm and can be placed inside the pocket. I've put a lipo charging module directly on the battery to charge the battery independently from the Quest 3 to reduce heating and wires. Other mods can be used to place it on the rear strap to counterbalance the weight.

IDEAS:

  • Some of the internal plastic components can be removed completely, or some of the frame/cover plastic parts.
  • One of my concerns is when the Quest 3 internal is too exposed, sweat or steam/fog from breathing can cause corrosion on some components
  • I'm still on the planning stage of which part to remove or reduce. Some coating spray or adhesive tapes can be used to cover some exposed parts.

Individual weights of the Quest 3 parts are posted for reference.

Feel free to post your ideas or mods if you already have one. Thank you!

Am i the only one who thinks this?

Ive always thought the design of the quest3s looks really cool. But the inner workings of the quest 3 is far more superior than the 3s' inner workings. What im trying to say is: one has better graphics, lenses, pass through, and storage capacity. And one has worse graphics, lenses, pass through, and storage capacity... I think yall know what I'm talking about. So my question is; is it possible to add the six camera design on the quest 3 with a few mods? (Sorry for the yap..)

Downloads won’t work anymore

Got the quest 3 last year and it worked fine. Downloads were a little slow but everything still downloaded. Took a few months off, came back to many game updates but not a single one will download. The downloads just stall out and turning wifi off then on triggers it to start again but only for 100 mb if I’m lucky. I have well over 400 GB free of space. Took all day doing this and got a download to 6GB of 12 before it failed and had to be restarted.. I’ve tried everything to fix this, all step by steps and even did a factory reset to no avail. I’m at my wits end here and need some help.

Controllers loose connection.

Q3, USBC virtual desktop, Inly use is DCS.
Controllers are working fine when starting up.
A few minutes after I entered VD and DCS, it say “no controllers connected, push to wake up”
Only way to reconnect is to remove battery. Both batteries are fresh.
It started a few weeks ago.
