We have some new headsets on the horizon. I’m curious what direction people are hoping it goes in besides just overall improvement.

Would be great if the future would be more open. The vr community has always been based on hobbyists with their open projects. It's incredibly unfortunate that there aren't any open headsets (free software and standards) Something akin to LineageOS for VR would be amazing. If not an entire OS, something like FOSS VRchat would be super great.

For social VR, there is Ouverte (https://overte.org/) and if your using something like an htc vive or valve index on linux, you can use a completely open source software stack.

Moderation and Network Effects are a big barrier to a FOSS VRChat. IMO. But maybe…
