Let’s go stand-alone PCVR headset

Or just anything to compete with the Quest 3, and provide a viable alternative to the dumpster fire of a near-monopoly that Meta/Facebook has on consumer VR hardware.

The Pico line seems to be a reasonable competitor.

Except its owned by TikTok, so just Chinese Facebook. It's the same fucking thing

I’d argue it’s even worse, but it’s still nice to have any competitor at least

Hopefully the fact that they talk so "freely" about their VR plans means that it’s not too far off.

God I hope so

As soon as there’s a decent standalone VR headset not owned my an invasive social media company, I’ll be on board.
