Meta's Subpoena Dropped – Simula One vs. Quest Pro
I found the detailed comparisons interesting and also came away worried for Simula.<p>The Quest Pro is available this week, has pancake lenses, better GPU, is a third to half the cost and has bet on Arm which is on its way to eat productivity PCs. Simula doesn’t even run Windows, which would be a nice consolation for being stuck on x86.<p>Quest’s integrated business partnerships are rudimentary but are going to be adopted much faster than Simula users can figure out and share their custom workflows.<p>Quest Pro 2 is probably going to come out before Simula finishes shipping its initial orders next year.<p>We need a Simula to exist, but I don’t think they are going to be able to iterate nearly fast enough to provide to this market. I hope I’m wrong, because it’s a really cool project and completely above board in respect to future ad revenue and metaverse ambitions.
