Simula One: an office-focused, standalone VR headset built on top of Linux
One of the founders of Simula here.We're flattered that someone posted us to HN, but we were honestly not ready for this much publicity at this precise stage of our project.  It would have been better had this happened a few weeks from now, when we have more accurate footage of our actual prototype to show. Let me explain:1. *Video footage.* The video footage on the front page of www.simulavr.com is taken against an HTC Vive and an older prototype of our window manager. It doesn't showcase the higher resolution of the Simula One (more than 4x that of the Valve Index), or any of the new features we are intending on releasing with it (hand tracking, AR mode, environments, etc).2. *Prototype pictures.* The website doesn't have any actual photos of our headset yet!  That's because we are in the process of finalizing the design.  We have printed parts and plenty of renderings, but they are still changing every week.3. *Specs.* The specs are close to the final specs, but still placeholders. Between supply chain issues, stuff still under development, and issues getting support from manufacturers at our volumes, we might have to change things for the final prototype.One of the reasons we threw up this website in its current form was to get the ball rolling for manufacturers.  They won't supply us with parts unless we have some sort of product interest, but we can't generate any sort of product interest unless we have some sort of website. It's very much a chicken and egg sort of problem.We appreciate everyone's kind words, yet also understand the skepticism.  For people on the waitlist: expect updates to start to come from us in a few weeks, when we will show some previews of some of the actual goodies which makes our headset special.
