Chances are I will just be streaming my main PC remotely through Virtual Desktop, Steam Remote Play, or whatever is the most convenient. The x86 chipset won't matter because it won't really run anything that I would want to run that requires x86 well.
The only thing I can complain about is that it seems to have less of an augmented reality focus than Apple Vision Pro, although it's too soon to tell. I'd like to be able to use VR along with standard keyboard and mouse peripherals with virtual monitors to boot. Instead of letting me decorate some imaginary room, let me decorate my existing room with virtual widgets.
I'm pretty sure this is mostly supposed to be a gaming headset, with non-gaming applications being more of a bonus. The vision pro on the other hand seems more marketed as a anything-but-gaming headset.
As long as it is open, it can be expanded upon. Most VR sets seem like proprietary hellscapes that want to get you trapped into their ecosystem. Steam, for what it is, gives me more faith than most.
Yeah. What it probably won't have will be the hoch res camera array for look-through the Vision Pro has, but as long as you're more interested in it as a productivity tool rather than something that reproduces all the Vision Pro "sparkle", I definitely see potential.
Yeah that's my exact issue. I'm not interested in gaming on the things built in chipset. Were getting to the point where resolutions are high enough that these can become viable monitor replacements.
Imagine the apple vision with the openness of a standard PC. Snapdragon based ARM chips get in the way of that. No standard firmware like UEFI/BIOS, no mainline GPU drivers, and most devices built on them give no way to change is signing keys like secure boot on PC or pixel devices.
They're going to have to do a lot of work to maintain the openness a PC gives from the get-go. Is it possible? Sure. I just don't have much hope anymore.
