My current requirements for a vr headset now: Not Meta/Facebook Ability to work with Steam VR Zero-setup (inside out tracking)
"We're being so generous by allowing other hardware manufacturers to buy into our closed walled-garden data mining system that could boot their company out of the market at a moments notice!"
EEE
So it the plan to go with the Google or Microsoft’s model?
Will third parties be able to customize whatever they want, like with Android, or is the user experience going to be strictly controlled, like with Windows?
It's Facebook... They're 100% going the Windows route so that you can't turn off all of the data collection that will go straight to them.
That’s what I would assume, but I guess the question is, has anyone here read through the licensing stuff?
The OS is the worst part of the Quest line. The hardware is pretty cool but software completely removes it from consideration for me.
Calling Meta "Facebook" tells me all I need to know about the engagement that random opinion blog will attract.
They're right tho. I call Meta Facebook like I call X Twitter. A name change can't wash away shit lmao
This is just a play because Google is releasing Android XR soon
