I would like a VR headset that is comparable in hardware and price to the Quest 3, that also isnt owned by ByteDance. Pretty much only two options; Meta's Quest 3 or ByteDance's Pico 4. ๐
I am not into VR stuff but is the VR headset made by Valve not good?
It's definitely dated and much more expensive for that older hardware. And that's only in the US. If you live outside of the US, grey market import only and way more expensive.
It's okay now. It's not the highest fidelity you could get, it's rather expensive, and it has to be tethered to a PC. The Quest and the Pico are half the price of the Index, have better quality displays, lighter headsets, and can run wirelessly without the need for a PC or tracking base stations.
When it was new? Hell yeah, I would have spent a little more to get an Index. They were the best at one point.
Its extremely expensive and a bit dated because it needs external lighthouses.
Those are so cheap because they're subsidized with your data. They get all kinds of fun metrics with vr headsets
