To compare the wireless range of the Meta Quest 3 controllers with the Bigscreen Beyond 2, we need to consider the inherent differences between these two systems.
Meta Quest 3 Controllers
The Meta Quest 3 uses advanced wireless controllers known as Touch Plus controllers. These controllers do not have a tracking ring; instead, they use IR LEDs integrated into the controller's faceplate and bottom handle for tracking. This setup allows for seamless wireless operation within the range supported by the Quest 3's wireless capabilities. The Quest 3 itself is designed for wireless use, making it suitable for untethered VR experiences. However, the specific range of the controllers is not explicitly detailed, but they are generally reliable within typical indoor environments.Bigscreen Beyond 2
As of now, there is no official release or detailed information about the Bigscreen Beyond 2. The original Bigscreen Beyond is a wired PCVR headset that uses SteamVR Tracking, which requires external base stations for tracking. It does not have native wireless capabilities, relying on a wired connection for its operation. Any future version, like a hypothetical Bigscreen Beyond 2, would need to introduce wireless capabilities to be comparable in terms of wireless range.Comparison
Since the Bigscreen Beyond does not currently support wireless operation, comparing the wireless range of its controllers to those of the Meta Quest 3 is not applicable. The Meta Quest 3 offers wireless freedom, which is a significant advantage for users seeking untethered VR experiences. If a future Bigscreen Beyond model introduces wireless capabilities, it would be necessary to evaluate its performance against the Quest 3's wireless range and reliability.In summary, the Meta Quest 3 controllers offer robust wireless functionality, while the Bigscreen Beyond, in its current form, does not support wireless operation. Any comparison of wireless range would require a future version of the Bigscreen Beyond with wireless capabilities.
