The only thing I could see myself using it for, is being in bed and watching a movie. I can do that with ar glasses for 300$.

You mean they're doing what everyone said they should have done to begin with - release an affordable consumer product that will in turn attract more developers?

Everyone knew that they would release a cheaper model, and it was always their plan. That’s why it has ‘pro’ in its name.

I'm still waiting for:

  • good Linux support, including apps/games
  • not too expensive - $500-ish
  • relatively privacy-friendly, so anything Meta is out

Valve Index is close, but it's expensive and Linux content is very limited. Bigscreen VR Headsets looks interesting since it seems more comfortable than Index, just as privacy-friendly, and should work on Linux, but it's still a little expensive ($1k) and there aren't many Linux VR apps AFAIK. I might get it though, still deciding.

This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

I'd rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.
