Could I play Half life and John wick with a Quest 3 at the same quality of Htc Vive pro 2?
Depends on your PC at that point. I use a laptop and I can't run no man's sky, or elite dangerous, they crash and lag, I need a better computer to run games of those scope. I'm running ryzen 7 with etc 3050ti.
If I had a 4080 super I wouldn't have this problem.@@paulonarleylacerda1713
VR
quest 3 vs Piko. Does quest 3 have shadow of lenses in the middle of viewport? I had this on quest go.
Man, I think this guy really likes VR headsets
Thank you so much for this. You answered everything I wanted, including suitable use and rough price tags. I've now ordered a PICO 4 based in your information.
I was big into VR around 2017 and then lost track of the industry since then. Incredible to see how far the headsets have come and the amount of variety in the market. Thanks for this great video!
I'm thinking about buying my 1st VR headset, and this video was hugely helpful! Thank you.
The best comprehensible 2023 VR summary, no contest, a subscribe must.
If PSVR 2 was PC and PS5 I would buy it.
Same
But if I connected it my pc would explode instantly 💀
U should try a pancake lenses headset and ask yourself this question again
Psvr 2 is great fun man. I enjoy it alot. Quest 3 barely showed any gameplay and they won't until launch ... And then you have all these endorsers who are worshipping the quest 3 through the roof. Oh boy if they say something bad about the quest 3 🤣 I'll stick with psvr 2 for now. Don't have a pc anyway🤷♂️
Same here, I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. I'm still hoping the modding/ hacking community will be able to get it running stable via reverse code engineering.
@@Wooskii1apparently it’ll need an additional piece of custom hardware once functional drivers are developed, but either way we probably have a couple years of waiting yet.
Ty for all the information. It was great to see all of them all at once. And all the great pro and cons. Saved me a lot of time searching one at a time and doing all the comparisons. Great work.
I found the perfect video. Brought up to speed on practically the entire market in a simple video. Thank you. Excellent.
Woow such a nice video, I just bought the quest 3 to get started with VR and this video helped me a lot. Great content. Thanks!
Thanks for that Thomas I think this video was really great because it informed me that I kind of read that made the right decision for my budget by getting the quest 3 thank you.
Such a thorough video. It's just cool to see all of these different headsets compared with each other, even briefly.
Das war mal eine super Übersicht, vielen Dank! 👌👍👍👍👍👍
I am new to VR, thank you for uploading this video 🙏
Thank you so much for such a detailed and still simple to understand video.
Thank you ❤
This video is gold! thanks for your time explaining the basis of vr actual state
You're welcome
Amazing, informative and extensive review! Great video!
Brilliant and very comprehensive guide!
Subscribed because anyone that has a Virual Boy on display knows VR!!! Great video Thank you!!
Just got a quest 3. One of the best vr headsets ive ever used versitility wise, Mixed reality, Standalone, pcvr, inside out tracking, great controllers and good display. By far best standalone headset. The pcvr aspect is astonishing. For 560 euros its definetely worth the money in my opinion. Also excited to see vr will have to offer for upcoming years.
great overview of all the headsets! im planning on getting a pcvr headset for the great display and a standalone for wireless fun activities
Thank you for a very good breakdown of VR options. I just got a quest 2 because I've never used VR, and the price was right ($200 usd new). Now that I've dipped my toes in the water I'm hooked. Building a stronger PC and getting a better headset is my next step.
Get the quest 3. It’s more powerful and supports pc vr better
You Germans have always so meticulous attention to detail. Great mega-review of VR sets ❤👍😎
That was the best overall review of all the VR headsets that have ever been available and which ones are worth buying still. I pre-ordered the Meta Quest 3 and feel its the best headset for the money. Especially with the mixed reality capabilities it has. This video is perfect for a beginner without knowledge about VR or someone with knowledge about VR. Thomas, you covered everything here and I learned about a few of the headsets myself. All I can say is just watch this video and you are good. Lets see what the future brings to VR in 2024, though. I am sure it will be awesome. Thanks again Thomas, for your great VR content.
Thank you 🥰
It could habe been very interesting, if you could have spent some words about weight, comfort, different qualities in gaming/productivity/movies/3d movies, and megative body effects (due to the kind of lenses) for each controler! Your video seems to be quite incomplete, but nice you showed so many of them! Keep up the good work!
Wow! A tidalwave of VR headsets. 🥳 thanks for great info on these
The Gear VR headset that you put your Samsung smartphone in, was pretty damn good for it's time. That was my introduction to VR back then and I was impressed.
Just bought Pico 4 and I love it.
Excellent review and very informative!
I went from a Valve Index to the Vive Pro 2 & now the Pico 4. I really like the convenience of wireless inside-out tracking of the Pico 4, especially if I want to use it abroad. Setup is significantly easier than with wired + light houses. I think these standalone wireless headsets might benefit a lot from Wi-Fi 7, but I've yet to see that included.
Valve really needs to do an updated release with a Valve Index 2. There's so much more they can do with current technology. The Valve Index was always super reliable with no janky extra software needed so I miss that experience & would love to see an Index 2.
I was able to get a new Quest 2 128GB through Amazon for $160 and have been having a blast with it, coming from original HTC Vive. I honestly love it a lot more than the HTC Vive. the lack of cables is extremely nice, and with the battery headstrap it balances a lot better and makes it feel lighter.
Very great collection! Brow! 😅, I have for NOW oculus rift v1, PlayStation VR v1, PlayStation VR 1 v2, META QUEST 2, and two PLAYSTATION VR2 😅😛. But im READY FOR still in the course of collection VR headsets, my next VR headsets for 2023, will be PICO 4, META QUEST PRO and for 2024 meta quest 3
Thank you for this review
hi you Explain very good in English to be honest and it’s nice to learn something new 😅😊 I never had vr headset but I like to try it myself when I get one but I’ve try it when I was with my father and it’s was fun 😂
I'm thinking about vive pro 2 or quest 3
I'm mostly thinking about resolution and image quality rater than being wireless
I;ve also have base stations and controllers from OG vive so i think its a good choice
Thank you for this review.
Great video, very informative :D
Great summary thanks!
I watch movies for the most part, sold my quest 2 for the 3 the pancake lenses will be a game changer for dark settings and the godrays
Great in depth video
I went from OG HTC Vive to Vive Pro. I also tried the Vive Pro 2 but returned it because I preferred the Pro 1 AMOLED.
For my personal use case, I feel the Vive Pro is nearly perfect. Microphone is normal quality but I don't need it/don't use it, so I don't want the headset to be even more expensive because of a microphone I don't need. Screen door effect, for my use case, is nearly negligible. Sometimes, I even forget it's there, except in very bright environment, and when I try to read extremely small text.
Still considering whether or not the Beyond is a worthy upgrade.
For most people the answear should be quest2/3 depending on the budget or a "office" headset like apple vision pro
Your explanation is very good
i couldnt agree more with your final choice! just i need to mention that pico 4 has poor library as a standalone headset compare to quest 3 or quest 2, but it is a great choice if you want a cheap wireless pcvr headset! And also i feel as you said that beyond is the future, for pcvr gamers like me at least!
15:47 In many countries, the Vive Pro is also discontinued. You may grab one new from some retailers (or a bunch of used ones online). Still, I'm returning my Vive Pro 2. It wasn't dark enough for me when I was in complete darkness in Half-Life: Alyx, and the biggest difference for me was SDE (which I couldn't notice in Vive Pro 2). I guess I got too used to OLED.
Amazing video!
If you really have to go the cardboard route I would strongly recommend BOTW with the Labo VR kit. I honestly had a lot of fun with it and the half resolution sort of makes it feel like a retro futuristic experience... perfect with a joint!
Glad to see Arnold Swartzeneger is teaching me about VR
I want a vr headset that has 4k 144hz Oled display ofc. And a brain sensor uses the brain waves as controls so it can simulate real human movement (it can be wired thanks to that). Fortunately we have all of these techs. Now we only need a company to integrate it together.
full dive vr o-o
To be honest, the Beyond is perfect, having the hability to choose my own headset is game changing. Thanks for this, i almost bought the wrong one, i was going for the vale one but omg, the Beyond is absolutely unbeliviable, thanks! Lots of success and much much love.
the 4 dislikes is people with phone holders
year ago i was one of them. it was my first experience with steamvr. had to buy 3 ps move controllers and cameras to try it. for now i'm a (almost) happy user of quest 2
😂
Any love for the Pico Neo 3 Link? You mentioned it, but bc of the DP out it might be better than the Pico 4 for those with mid level computers like your 3070tis, 4070s etc, i picked one up while i was in Singapore for 200 USD!
Managed to get a rift s $50usd as my first vr headset. definitely decent start, downsides are the headband and the refresh rates are not satisfactory.
Can’t really complain for the amount i paid though
Thomas! I don't know how have you done It but you are the first in youtube in having the Quest 3. Hurry Up and release videos about It!!! You Will get a lot of new subscribers! And you deserve It!
Probably NDA, or Review Embargo Dates (contract) so people don't do exactly that before a set date.
The full review is not allowed yet and I'm also not yet done with it.
I wanna watch someone fight the final boxer in Thrill of the Fight wearing one of those huge Pimax headsets :D. Crazy awesome collection. Can't imagine how many times people ask you which one you use the most is.
Hey, I want to upgrade to Quest 3 but i don't know if it is a good option for me. I will mostly focus on PCVR, especially simracing, but i also want to play other games that require good controller tracking. Do you think there is a big visual difference between Reverb G2 and Quest 3 through link cable? I know G2 is probably visually better but i really want good tracking alongside it. If there arent bigger differences in viusals Q3 is the obvius option. Or am i missing any other option that is around 500-700€?
Superb overview of vr units...
Very impressive reviews.
What about Goovis G3?
Can you do the review on that?
Thanks
All that remained was to include Microsoft's hololens vr, which is already in its third version and, more recently, the Apple Vision Pro vr.
PSVR2 is great, but Sony really needs to update the firmware to support PC. It would do wonders for sales. Easily my favorite of the bunch.
Who will own 25+ VR Headset! ?
Thank you for this video, really help alot for my decision!
Short question, I have a Vive Pro 2 for Flight Simulator; is it worth to upgrade to Quest 3? Thank you and best from Berlin, M.
What would you recommend more for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the Pico 4 or the Quest 3? I really like the smaller weight of the Pico 4 (300g vs. 500g), but the Quest 3 has the higher FOV (110° vs. 105°). How much difference is 110° vs. 105°? Is it worth having 200g more on the head?
I recently got an HTC vive from a friend of mine who upgraded to a quest 2, and I'm quite happy with it even though it does kinda suck, but my pc does too, so I am barely able to get a playable fps. But I am just happy for the Basestations for the most part, cuz that means less money when upgrading headset when I eventually do upgrade my pc
The quest 2 is not an upgrade from HTC vive. PC vrs will always out perform standalone vrs in every area. The major downside is its wired unless you buy wireless adapter and you need a very good gaming PC to run vr games well.
@@aymenmahmod9981 honestly when you have to plug ton of cables every time to just run this htc vive is awful and annoying, so quest 2 without need for this already an upgrade
@@chadthunderlord5830depends. Pcvr is better in the sense that it has a wider range of games, better video settings configurations, more options and standalone is better for portability and casual vr.
Very good video thanks
What's coming up next? I'm looking at midrange PCVR headsets but the only thing out there is the Quest 3, which I'd get but it doesn't have DisplayPort and sucks for simulators 😢
the vive pro 2 can be had where I am now (Germany actually) for 530 euros. I think that's a good price, with the base stations and index controllers it ends up being some 50 euros more than the full index kit. And I am lucky enough to be able to make a side by side comparison with the Index and see which one fits me better.
buuuut it's not worth it. I just had the chance to try it against the Index and yeah, for me it's not good. Screens are good, the FOV is fine for me, and it seems a bit more comfortable on the head BUT, everything else is worse, in good part because of the lenses:
-small sweet spot;
-because of the above, it has worse edge to edge clarity. The image feels overall blurry and this is noticeable in the peripheral vision, when simply looking arround;
-worse glare where I actually see the Fresnel rings;
-slight random tracking issues with lighhouse, small stutters and jumps;
-gets hotter even without turning off the automatic dimming (if that's still doable);
-audio is significantly worse;
-software is still bad. Bugs and glitches that end up in a PC restart;
I really need help. I'm trying to get into pcvr but idk what headset to buy thats decent in every area. My pc specs are rtx 3060 , and an i7-10700k intel cpu. I just want a decent vr headset that has decent tracking, decent resolution, and decent refresh rate. Just all around decent, but not too expensive . What do you recommend ? I was thinking about getting a quest 3, but I used to have a quest 2, and it was kinda trash at running on my pc. I was thinking of getting an hp reverb g2, but I heard the tracking is bad especially when its close to the headset which discourages me from buying it. Any tips on what headset to choose? I would really appreciate it.
the rift s was my first vr headset and i loved it
I recently bought a VR headset, and I was torn between PSVR 2 or Quest 3, I went with Quest 3 because I could use it Standalone or on my PC
Can you make a video testing Quest 3 headset using controllers from the Quest Pro. Is it worth the cost to upgrade?
I thought I had a lot of headsets, but you have them all - nice! I am blown away by the Quest 3. I agree you would want some alternative strap. The sharpness of the screen is very good. You can play a game like “Zero Caliber Reloaded” on the headset directly without a PC. You can even host a multiplayer game, have others join your game, chat with other players, all while either recording what you see to a 2D movie or stream it to either your phone or a Chromecast TV. I am amazed that it can do all these tasks at the same time without a PC. Thank you for this interesting view on all these headsets.
Did you ever own the Index or G2 or Quest 2? And if you did, how would you say the Quest 3 compares to older fresnel lens models. Is the difference that noticeable.
Biggest issue I have with G2 atm is blurry visuals and tiny sweet spot. If I’m interacting with any UI/menu it’s awful. Only really good mid action in game, but when I try to stop and look at anything, it breaks immersion.
Also how about compatibility with PCVR on Quest 3? Is Steam VR on it plug and play, or are there issues you run into?
@@readifdumb I do have an Index and different Rift headsets. It has been so long since I used them, as they have the classical downsides of a Fresnel lens, and the headsets are wired. I tried a Quest 2 at my friend’s house and it struck me as a significant downgrade from the Quest 3, but it is still better than a Rift S. There is a small sweet spot where things are in focus on a Quest 2 like most others. Both Quest 2 and 3 run PCVR both from the Oculus App and SteamVR very nicely - no issues. In fact, it is so compatible that there are several different ways to hook it up, but the built-in Air Link is the best (no need for external programs like “Steam Link” or "Virtual Desktop", and I uninstalled them to avoid confusion). You only need to start the Oculus app on your PC, and then use the headset for the rest: Via Air Link you connect from the Quest to the PC desktop (crystal clear text btw) and then from your PC desktop double click on a Steam game shortcut using your controllers. There are many ways to do it, but I prefer having shortcuts.
You do need to set the Air Link to use 200mbps and preferably have a wired gigabit connection to the router and use 5GHz Wi-Fi from the Quest. I will never go back to a wired headset again unless I have to.
The only issue I have had is that occasionally, on my setup, the Air Link disconnects right after startup. I just restart the Oculus app and try again. Once it’s running, it just works. You only have about 2 hours of playtime before you have to charge, but honestly, I can do with a break once in a while anyway.
The only other issue is that you will need some third-party head strap (or the official Elite strap) for a comfortable fit if you want to be able to turn your head quickly. Most say that the Elite strap with a battery pack is not charging the headset after some time, so until they get that fixed, I would stick with either a third-party one or the normal Elite strap (as I have). I am really impressed with the Quest 3 and look forward to seeing what the future brings.
@@QuadHealer That’s all great to hear. I currently have my G2 working, so I’m going to play a lot more VR to see if this is something I care about enough to buy a new headset.
I have a lazy eye, which acts up when I can’t focus, and on top of that I have bad vision. I need insert lenses to better focus, but I’m wondering whether pancake would help with focus in general? A very specific question, but does it help with focusing your eyes, creating 3D depth, less headaches, immersion, etc? What are the benefits outside of just clarity that you might of noticed? Also is the FOV difference for the Q3 a massive upgrade, or just a okay upgrade? Like can you still clearly see the black circles on left and right side clearly, or do they fade to the background easier?
@@readifdumb It is the easiest headset I have used with glasses - the focus is better. I have not experienced a problem with creating 3D depth if the headset can set the Interpupillary Distance (IPD) to match my eyes (which the Quest 3 can). Black circles on the left and right side? I have never experienced that, but it could be attributed to either your headset, eyes, or headset configuration. I would recommend visiting a store or having a friend/colleague give you a demonstration, so you can try it out before buying. The good thing about the headset is that it doesn't need a PC, so it is easy to take around to different places. As for the FOV, I haven't noticed it to be a problem - you can compare the specifications on the headsets and see if it is acceptable for your needs. If you don't know of anyone who has a Quest 3 and a store doesn't have one on display, then you can consider posting on Facebook and see if anyone close to you would be willing to give a demonstration - I know I would be more than happy to give a demonstration, but I am guessing you don't live in the northern parts of Denmark.
@@QuadHealer No I don’t sadly lol. My country currently isn’t selling the Quest 3 at any major retailer, and instead it’s all online stores. So while some people might have one, it’s not readily available. I’d have to go through Amazon to get mine if I was buying it.
For the most part I think that it seems like a pretty clear upgrade, with a minor decrease in resolution, mic, and audio. Stuff I can sacrifice for overall ease of use and visual clarity.
I feel like overall I have issues on most fronts. Small sweet spot; not properly aligned IPD with not enough in the higher numbers for my eyes; fresnel lenses; glare, chromatic aberration, and distortion; extremely thick cable that I have to lump around; bad comfort; WMR killing any support I have for certain games, as well as introducing a lot of instability, lag, terrible menu interactions, the list goes on regarding WMR; horrid controllers that barely work for most games, as well as can’t even do more hand gestures in VR Chat; terrible room mapping that sometimes just sends me out of my player space randomly; batteries on controller dying within one session…
You get the point. Once I’ve dealt with one thing it’s another thing. VR shouldn’t have to be this hard.
The last thing I’m considering/thinking about is the Quest Pro. While it is a downgrade in a lot of areas compared to Quest 3, the face tracking seems extremely cool for VRChat which is 90% of my time in VR anyway. So I guess I’ll be thinking about it longer, but I really want to upgrade now, even if it feels like I didn’t get my moneys worth out of my current headset, I’d rather not be complaining for the next 900 hours trying to get my moneys worth, when I could spend that 900 hours with a better experience.
I'm mostly interested in having the virtual desktop and monitor experience, for productivity incentives. I'm also a technical person so I can deal with some setup issues. Which is the most suitable and economical?
I just heard about the Pimax Super which can have micro OLED interchangeable.
... I may be considering Pimax after all. All I want is an adjustable high resolution OLED light house PCVR headset
This is the type of VR experience which would pull me out of flight sims for a long time.
Thank you very much +1 like
Ive used a HTC Vive flow for about 2 years now. What I love : portability, lightweight, viewing angle, individual adjustable lenses.
Now, I wonder, what should I upgrade to if I only want to step up, and sacrifice nothing. (my wallet is bigger than before).
I certainly don't want to give up on individual adjustable lenses and the resolution/viewing angle, but would love more apps.
I have a feeling you like vr...
🤣🤣
no thats a big assumption i dont think we should be jumping to conclusions..
eh, i dont think so
I have owned the original oculus rift and the original vive until they were stolen . I like to mostly play sit down games like elite dangerous . I think the quest 3 will suit my needs it can do stand alone and I can use my computer . It has way better resolution than my headsets I owned before . My question. Is do you think I’m
Making a good choice with the quest 3 and the other question why would someone buy the 128gb vs 512gb headset ?
Thank you
Lou
I was expecting him to say “I am in crippling debt 😀”
Personally I’m going to keep my money and buy the Vision Pro next year 🤩
I watch this video because I like VR. I'm not looking for a new headset, because I'm happy with my Pimax 8KX and my PSVR2. I have an IPD 75mm, so my choice is very limited in headsets, untill manufacturers go back to making them to suit large IPD's.
Hello body good video Again.. just a quick question what do you think getting the quest3 or hp vr for a oc vr . And is the hp resolution better than the quest 3?
Quest 3
I’m thinking of Upgrading from the Oculus Rift S to the Valve Index at some point. Seems like the best fit for me.
bro, index is like 15 years old, my great grandfather played on it
the jump from 1440×1600 per eye resolution in index to 2k per eye in quest 2/3 may seem small, but its the difference between seeing every pixel and just seeing "slightly blurry image"
@@googleslocik Ah yes, 2019 famously that year from 15 years before 2024. Just stop trying to shove your facebook overlords down people's throats. They're a bunch of false advertisers and are selling your data to make the product seem cheap. _You_ are the product. Move on.
I was just looking at how far VR has come since I bought my HTC Vive - the original one at launch (paid £900 for it back then). I loved it at the time, but obviously tech has moved on a little since then and I have not used it in years. I find the main problem with all of these is the actual amount of AAA games being very limited. Half Life Alyx was the pinnacle of VR for me at the time, but there just doesn't seem to have been any major games until recently with the acception of bolted on VR like in the Resident Evil games. I am tempted by the Meta Quest 3 a little though and Asgards Wrath 2.
The tech is super cool but unfortunately it's very limited. The games will stay rather niche because playing most games in VR aren't good experiences or will make you motion sick really really fast.
You can play Cyberpunk 77 in Vr with a mod now
My thoughts after i stopped on second 0:03: "Thats definitly a german guy." And than i read your channel name.
i wish this was a video before i had gotten a headset for sure would've gotten a pico 4 instead of a quest 2
I used my G2 over my aero (sent that back) and then now I use my Pico4 over the G2 (G2 sitting on my shelf). LOL
Hey, Thomas! Thanks a lot for the video, it was really great.👍
Could you please give me advice? I think you're the only one who has enough knowledge in this area to answer my question.
I'm mostly looking for a headset to watch movies and shows. I have a good 65" hdr oled tv but want to get really cinema and 3d effectd with good picture(I don't have an appropriate wall for a video projector).
My priority is not comfort but to get the most enjoyable and realistic picture from watching movies.
I'm ready to buy Pimax Crystal but is it the best choice in comparison with Bigscreen Beyond or maybe there is a better choice? I mean which one can give the best cinematic experience? I've read that Pimax Cristal has HDR and Bigscreen has a "glare" issue during scenes with high contrast, is it true?
Or maybe it's impossible for now to get better cinematic experience from a VR headset than from a good 65" hdr oled tv set? What do you think?
For watching movies I prefer the Rokid Max
@@voodoodevr-en Got it, thanks a lot.👍
I can feel the German pronunciation on my skin while watching this video.
hehe
Which VR headset is capable to play and Display 3D movies ?, there are some movies that have the 3D logo.
Quest 2 linked with a moderate to good pc is hella fun at 250 and current VR games don't justify 1000 dollars worth of VR stuff yet
My OG Vive is struggling 7 years after getting it. Thinking about getting a Vive Pro 2 Headset and Index controllers and base stations from Steam. Those are compatible right? The goal is to have the advantages of the unique Index controller and the high resolution of the Vive Pro 2, sounds like a winning combo if it works like that.
On paper the Vive Pro 2, index controllers and outside tracking with steam is better. I have been running this setup for 2 years, but I can't recommend it unfortunately :(. I constantly find myself going back to my Quest 2 with link cable. My Vive Pro 2 constantly glitches out, my index controllers lose tracking and glitch out too. The worst part is, replacement parts are very expensive, and I have spent way too muhc time troubleshooting the issues. My quest 2 has been very reliable, even while using the link cable. I am actually looking to sell my Vive + Index + Basestations and just buy a Quest 3.
Should I go for PSVR2? I don't have a ps5 but they announced they are going to release support for PC?
Personally I'm upgrading from my htc vive pro to meta quest 3 and then waiting for pico 5 pro max
DONT BUT WINDOWS MIXED REALITY HEADSETS. These vr headsets will be discontinued meaning you wont have warranty you can't buy replacement parts and in 2026 you cant play games with them anymore not even with steamvr
So, still nope then for now. Bigscreen Beyond looks like it's getting there tho.
But given how small it is, it is still impressive how fugly they managed to make that. Needing to buy everything separately is a pain, but manageable if it all at least works together well.
Custom inlay is nice, but not being able to share is troublesome. Shouldn't be that hard to make a semi universal fit that sits well, especially given the reduced weight.
This would make replacements easier and longevity greater.
The inlay not being absorbent is also a concern.
Lastly compacting it all obviously introduces some new downsides, the big one apparently being a type of blurry lens flare when displaying bright objects.
Oh well, I'll just give it a few more years. ;p
Recommend HMD for game devs with 3DOF and 6DOF
Please recommend a virtual reality headset for a 6'53" smartphone for watching movies.
Thanks
thx. for ur work. wish u all best
