Compare Good and Bad Pass Through on the Quest 3. (Battery Saver Glitch)
93I managed to get my hands on a friend's Quest 3 that has Terrible pass thru video. By using a Go Pro to record the left eyepiece display on both Q3s, I've managed to put together a comparison between good and bad passthrough video.
Meta's commercials for the Quest 3 give user's the impression that pass-through video displayed inside the headset is crystal clear. This isn't true. The headset display tends to be a little bit grainy, but of good enough quality to let you see, move around and perform tasks while wearing the Q3.
If you think your passthrough looks a lot worse than this, you may've enabled the Quest 3 Battery Saver mode and you're now stuck in low resolution display mode. There's no fix for this yet, but Meta should be rolling out a new update in the near future. Until that happens,
Don't Enable Battery Saver Mode.

I recorded this video using two separate Quest 3s. One stuck in low res and the other with normal pass through. I used a go pro to record the left eyepiece display in the headset on both Q3s while panning around my well lit dinning room.
If you're having the issue, you can report it on the Meta Community Forums.

Some users have reported that they're stuck in this mode without ever having turned Battery Saver on.
