    yeah, but that, like, the selling point of the headset. it was always “look at how you can put the real world into VR” not “hey we improved ur fuckin toaster performance lolol”

      Maybe I’m in the minority but I don’t care about AR in my VR headset. I’d rather see meaningful improvements to the core functionality like OLED for better blacks.

        no, you’re in the majority. most couldn’t care much less, including myself. i’m just saying that AR was their main advertising point. a quest 3 lite of some sort with gutted AR functionality and whatnot would be a good addition. if it just boils down to removing components, such a product could reduce the weight too

          AR just provides the most promising avenue to make useless digital nicknacks seem like they have actual real-world value, and a cheap way to superimpose advertising wherever tf anyone wants to.

    That’s been out for a year already, the Pico 4 (although it actually does have mixed reality). With the Pico 5 announced for early next year I don’t see why anyone would buy this.
