Cool. Big screen VR is cheaper and lighter, that's your competition.
I'd argue you can go much cheaper. Also their real competitor in terms of standalone hmds is Meta, not beyond. Beyond is a niche pc only product, not a standalone experience with social potential.
Isn't that what the high end Vision is for? I would think a lower end model would target a different audience instead of just being cheaper and crappier.
Don't see why that'd be the case, they might focus on it being a lighter model or something that also happens to have lower specs
It's certainly possible, but they wouldn't want it to cannibalize sales for the premium product.
I guess we'll see though.
Oh shit! I saw a video of something totally unrelated the other day, but it involved using a drone and one of these headsets. I assumed it was just for the drone he had and more or less just a cheap head mounted display and not an actual VR headset. I want one... 🤤
