I see a lot of comments on the pricing of this hardware. It's going to be more expensive (for the end user) to build a headset (and FOSS window manager) than a product like the quest. Meta has a suite of products bringing in capitol by selling user PII. Valve has a distribution platform to offset costs.
If you want to see a product that is open end to end and is not part of an ecosystem selling your information, then it has to be funded.
I realize most of the people reading this don't want a moral argument for spending $2k-$4k on a HMD, but thats what I am offering.
We should have multiple openXR compatible headsets to choose from, and specialized window managers that 'just work' in VR. Fund the FOSS projects you want to see in the world so others will follow.
