Some good info on AVP & Q3 optics

The plus? You don’t need to dismantle your AVP like you did with the considerable cheaper 5k+.
His testing simply shows what the lenses distort when used on a static 2d image without any correction being applied.
So it would be easy to use these images in the headset with a viewer to see that the out edges as shown where it is distorted being properly corrected for.
Which based on your previous “hyping” is being done to proper level needed. Easy for you to test if you have not loaded a test image yet in the AVP. Covering entire FoV.
Bottom line I have read enough time know the AVP is quite amazing and the fact it seems they have the right distortion correction working makes that even more true. Since Apple is often more focused it would be curious if they consulted Lionel or were able to do it purely on their own.
I am looking forward to when a. Opportunity arises for me to demo one in a store or better maybe an event.
I never refused to go try why. Just no reason at present to make a special trip to do so.
You would be surprised. Been working on that and not all areas are visible to the public
I have been working I. It slowly with being selective mostly of who is invited to help get things setup.
I had thought you could help; As you are often really good contributor helping a variety of people and when we were a team we both did well in the early days curving toxicity. By reaching out to individuals directly in very positive ways.
I miss those days.

Agreed just need ppl to stop distorting articles.
All these articles of Meta adding AVP features to the Q3 is very positive for 
as it proves Apple is on the right track. With their first hmd release.
It wouldn’t be hard to find real apple hater articles.
One positive post I shared on Reddit. iVRy Dev responded not to believe anything they post as they claimed to have reviewed software not released. iVRy is apparently making an app for AVP and that publication claimed to have reviewed it. 
Karl may like clickbait titles but when you read that particular Articles with picks. It clearly shows the pancake lenses have a nice sweet spot but also suffer from bad distortions outside ring. I was surprised by it as it was over hyped as being much better. I am talking pancake lenses in general.
I would be curious to see someone use the test images in the headset to verify/demonstrate that Apple has accomplished what Lionel said. Which with low FoV shouldn’t be that difficult vs Wfov hmds.
The more Meta scrambles to add/demonstrate AVP features on the Quest is simply a testament of how well Apple is doing.

Good discussion on using AVP.
Guys,
May I suggest both of you take a cold shower and then delete a number of posts?
Thank you

Here’s a question for AVP or Apple users
Can I walk into an Apple store to book my AVP demo?
I’ve tried doing it online which seems to involve creating an Apple ID which is far as I got it always gives an error message and I can’t create an ID

I booked mine with an apple ID that I made. I don’t have any other Apple gear so didnt have any ID, but I had not problems creating one. I’m sure though that they can do that in the store for you.

Thanks @Axacuatl & @XRC for helping us realize where we’re both going wrong.
Djonko, I have deleted several posts and made some edits on some. Please review and if needed please pm with any concerns. Let’s work on becoming the team we once were during the early days of the KS.
Here is Reddit topic; I am sure you will appreciate in R/VisionPro

Thanks for the update. It’s really important we are civil to each other despite disagreement over technology.
I’ve seen popular website like roadtovr and upload completely ruined by this toxicity in the hys comments, typically a single individual that has been plaguing disqus for several years and down votes everyone or makes toxic posts.
I come here to share and enthuse about XR technology, and thoroughly enjoy talking with like minded people.

One of the big problems communities have is taking things the wrong way.
Karl for example like Sadly it’s Bradley both often have some actually good info in their stuff. But often ruin much of their content with some form of theatrics.
Bradley though I will say has matured quite a bit since the days where he would suggest a hair in a demo came from inappropriate places.
I will admit quite freely Karl’s good info on his AVP lens compare to Q3 was contaminated by his very poor titling of the Article.
The AVP does not have “Image quality issues”. Like the heading suggests to be true. Like I had said clickbait nonsense.
I should have maybe just pulled the actual good info from the Article like the Lens tests and the SVG fonts/icons info. As that is good info. That wouldn’t be colored poorly by a very poorly chosen title.
Something more like:
“AVP lenses vs Q3. Also AVP methods for sharper menus”
I skimm articles for the good parts if there are ones in a what seems like purely a bad article/YT peice.
While that impressions Bradley gave at that time on the Crystal was quite poor due to his theatrics regarding the hair. He had some good info as well.
I was disappointed to hear he was brigaded by unhappy pimax consumers. Though Bradley did do a follow video apologizing for his conduct. Which really showed on his part a lot of maturity and positive growth.

@Djonko this evaluation from trying it. I think is on par with what you have been saying and is quite impressive.
And yes, as I have said would like to go for a demo. Just need to wait til there is real reason to go to Halifax for more than a demo XP.
Not sure if will have time in Sept but ATM that looks to be the earliest might have a chance to do so.
Just note like a journalist & YouTuber I am not opposed to someone sending me one to try out.
