This is the most expensive Google Cardboard I’ve ever seen.,(reply>), @G E those are “pass through” cameras- color cameras that have no sense of depth and are performance heavy to run; mix in ai to create depth data from that, and you’ll be draining your tiny battery like no tomorrow (Quest uses IR cameras for a reason, because it is vastly faster and more efficient when it comes to spatial movement and upcoming AR depth tracking). Do you know why the Quest 2 upgraded processors? It’s because it is not only better performance being designed to handle vr rendering- but it is MILES more battery efficient processing. <br><br>And again, right on the product page, the required app will <b>*only*</b> release for androids (which iPhone accounts for roughly 50% of US smartphones), and <b>*only*</b> specific android devices (likely cutting out 25-30% more). You can put your phone into the vice flow page to see if it is compatible according to htc.<br><br>People have already used the device, and the permanent lack of ANY other controller is a major factor in it being disappointing.<br><br>This headset was not designed to be for anyone looking for games, and it is designed as a glorified personal theatre at most. Their marketing team had such issues to figure out how to market the device, that meditating is the number 2 reason why anyone should get the device according to htc; with watching vr content being the first. I have watched all the materials and several dozen first hand experience reviews. The product is a flop. Just slap your Android on your face and connect a controller.,(reply>), @Grim Of Donuts theres literally two cameras on the front behind the plastic "eyes" jesus christ learn to actualy do ANY research before you just make up total lies. <br>Literally everything you have said here is wrong.<br><br><br>Jailbreak the quest2? You just like using words you heard in completely  i correct ways too dont you. The quest 2 isnt jailbroken. Dumdum. It able to remove the facebook account requirement. Thats not jailbreaking in any way.,(reply>), @Gamer moment <br><br>It will only work for people with Android, because the “stand alone” device can only work from the app that HTC already said won’t be coming to iOS. That means, they already killed off at least 23% of the market (due to requiring app to work). And it is not <b>all</b> android phones either, only a select group of hand picked devices- right on the web page of their Vive Flow, there is a slot where you can check if your device is white listed.<br><br>It has no outward facing cameras, so there will be NO AR support, let alone any controller support. (where do people keep pulling this out of?)<br><br>6DOF is just head movements; and i more than bet the headset won’t have any decent lateral or horizontal tracking with its camera-less system.<br><br>It’s entire advertisement is just a tv for your face. Literally, about 1/12th of the advertising page, is just using your android in a flat panel in the headset….<br><br>You are a million times better off just getting an Oculus Quest 2 for $200 cheaper- and if you absolutely can’t stand the Facebook requirement; then you can just jailbreak that out like many have.,(reply>), you were so certain it couldnt do AR without knowing how inside out tracking works, despite the fact it's seemingly designed for some level of AR, when the quest 1 has some level of AR without even having any intent of it at first,(reply>), stop acting like you know anything about it when you didn't even know the headset didnt need a phone
