I’m guessing the “cheap” version will be significantly cut down. If you actually compare the tech in it to the rest of the space I think they’re pricing it pretty damn aggressively. There aren’t other options with just the resolution, but when there are they’re going to be $2k+ on their own. The resolution is the biggest thing I’ve been waiting for before moving from my vive. It makes a huge difference.

I’m guessing they’ll be best in class at low latency full quality passthrough for a good while, too. Nothing else out there is close to that. Add in how much more powerful it is than the other standalone options and Apple being miles ahead of anyone else in terms of AR development tools (solo developers can genuinely make AR stuff right now that works on the phone), and I’d really like to take the plunge. We’ll see how my self control works in the mean time and whether I can actually be there to pull the trigger right away, but there’s nothing out there comparable to what it is.
