      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… 🤤
