Shame, the early WMR headsets were a great non-Meta budget VR option. Loved my HP WMR and Samsung Odyssey+
I still use the HP Reverb G2 for flight sim and I’m wondering how this will effect it. The Mixed Reality app comes up just from connecting the headset to the PC and AFAIK needs to be open in order for the VR to work. I guess it’ll just be deprecated and still there.
I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I really hope Valve comes along and provides an updated non-meta vr experience.
They do, it’s called SteamVR and it’s good.
I meant a successor to the index. Preferably standalone. The rumoured Deckard if you will. I’d like to update my headset and I don’t want to buy another meta product. While it’s true that the OP was about software, it locks out a branch of hardware from being viable.
But but but how am I supposed to play minecraft irl now
Go get a shovel and an axe and have fun
I’ll go ahead and pre-dial 911.

Well that’s disappointing but pretty expected. The Acer AH101-D8EY was my first VR headset. I can’t imagine why it didn’t catch on.
I didn’t even know that was a thing 🤷
Though all I care about VR is Beat Saber on my Quest 2…
They thought they were going to sell it to the US Army as a combat HID but they were far too frail and gave people motion sickness. Additionally, to develop for it you needed to use their Windows-only dev tooling. Any serendipitous killer app was not going to happen. The product was DOA.
That’s too bad. Apparently their holo lens was really good. But pricing it at $4000 meant most people weren’t interested.
We attempted to use the Reverb G2 for a training sim but their equivalent of ASW wasn’t up to snuff. Lots of jumping around between frames. Shame, because the display was really sharp, a good answer to the short-lived Rift S.
