Will it? I would love to try out VR gaming but I really don't want to be locked into meta's ecosystem.
It currently does, I still use mine both standalone, and linked with my desktop on the oculus platform and SteamVR, since i disliked how cheaply made the oculus 2 was.
Right now I'm waiting for a competitor to the quest to even appear on the market, since there doesn't seem to be any other standalone option right now.
There's the Pico 4 - but the company behind it is ByteDance. You might know ByteDance from their other product: TikTok...
So in the end it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire, I think.
Yeah I'm not eager to go from sending my floorplan to zuck to sending it to the CCP, lol.
Thank you for that info! I have a really hard time spending a lot of money on myself so I've been putting off buying a vr set for years and years now, but if I was to get one it would be valve or pico because screws Facebook. Now I guess it's just valve though...
There's also SideQuestVR
