I've used headsets with Fresnel lenses for my entire life, from Quest 2 to PSVR2. With the release of the Quest 3, I keep hearing that its pancake lenses make it the best headset available. I'm curious if that's really the case and how significant the difference is between Fresnel and pancake lenses.
