#2Except for hololens, aren’t they all built on top of Linux?

#3It's a page about a VR headset, but neither this page nor the 'shop' page that lets you waitlist it has any pictures of the thing even by itself, let alone someone wearing it. What an absolutely bizarre choice.

#5I've been following SimulaVR/Simula for a while now, but really did not want to buy a (legacy) HTC Vive headset. This idea of a standalone Linux machine in a headset is something I'd definitely put some money towards given a bit more detail and timelines.
Also pretty excited by John Carmack's recent tweets on sideloading stuff to the Quest. It feels like that would provide a much bigger opportunity for this project (cameras and all), than building/shipping new hardware.

If you drop the assumption that it is bizarre, you can think about the actual reasons for the omission of said pictures.

Yes, I want information about the hardware, not just the software (and I hope I can do more with it than just run a virtual window manager).

Was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, here.

#10I sincerely hope VR will change the way we compute one day, but the wait will be decade or more, as the progress is small and incremental. Unless everything turns out to be proprietary, in which case it'll be never.
