        Its probably great but when you need to set up a specific room, it makes it inaccessible for most people

          ??? You don’t need a specific room. Quest doesn’t need any beacons or wires.

          I don’t like Facebook, never had a Facebook account and refused to buy their VR until they removed the Facebook account requirement 2 years ago.

          But the hardware is excellent for the price. Facebook is selling the hardware at a loss and making it up in software sales. So you are hurting Facebook by buying their hardware and using it with Steam.

            Sorry, was referring to Valve Index. Did not realize you can use SteamVR on on the Quest

      That would be Valve‘s Deckard, I suppose. Would be nice if that would materialize at some point soon.

      But even a „windows equivalent“ HorizonOS would be an improvement in the standalone headset space if that meant I could choose between HMD vendors and carry over all my software.

        That is not what I was referring to. Meta loves to invade our privacy like Microcrap

        Sadly SteamVR needs a large open space to work effectively which makes it inaccessible to the vast majority.
