I feel like we‘re gaining a lot of momentum in the linux world and gaming is going places.

Today I stumbled on this slightly ironic before you buy about the apple vision pro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EifFVxcIat4

My takeaway: they made another vr headset and some (maybe key) things work out well and others dont.

As a linux user, gamer, hobby dev and admin, I can see how a bunch of cameras, a display, gyro and a pi could bring stuff like plasma big screen or kodi to a headset. Maybe we can make another glorified monitor to get end users to instead come to linux.

Anyone know if a project like this? What do you think?

    There have been wearable displays on the market for many years. Plenty work with Linux just fine. As far as all the camera motion tracking junk, it’s a gimmick without a real use-case being sold by Apple. It’s literally half the cost of the unit. I don’t know many companies who would rather include that versus keeping units cheaper.

      Thanks for mentioning it. I didn’t know they were linux compatible.

      The thing that got me was the app store with (somewhat) vr apps. Linux has this so I figured that would work well. The AR aspect probably makes it a bit more fancy I guess.
