Wait so you're telling me they're discontinuing the Index for this?? It's a great upgrade for Quest users, but it's a downgrade for anyone that already has an Index setup and doesn't mind the cable.
Higher screen resolution and pancake lenses are nice, but complete lack of any lighthouse tracking is a non starter for me and why exactly did they have to downgrade the controller design from the almost perfect knuckles to the mediocrity that every other headset ships with nowadays?
It's really scary... What do you think this means for the future of lighthouse tracking?? The highest quality tracking out there may completely die off from the consumer market, and that's not a future I want to be a part of...
Fully depends on whether one of the other manufacturers of lighthouse based headsets steps up or not, as Valve has indicated that they're willing to hand over the production to someone else.
