I get that but I think the easy gains have already been made. Now it needs true new tech, not just a company willing to package existing tech in a great way.

I think VR has had a weird trajectory. 

Michael Abrash at Oculus was predicting that these would be features in a headset in 5 years:



He made those predictions 10 years ago.  

There are headsets with 4k x 4k displays, but Meta has taken things in a different direction. 

Varifocal lenses are still prototypes.

It's a bit of an upgrade.

But it doesn't change my mind that VR progress has felt so slow since Quest.  The first Quest felt like a huge leap above Rift. Quest 2 and 3, and this just feel like incremental upgrades to me.

What are the stats?

And would specs be good enough to replace glasses?

A small step forward, but still lots of work to be done.

Field of view needs to be bigger.
Would be nice to be an all in one in that form factor
I also think it should replace glasses...

2 hours into this game. Went in fully blind.

It's kinda slow so far. I turned off hints and stuff so idk if that is why, but it's just basic puzzle after basic puzzle.

Kinda sucks, kinda awesome.

Has moments of brilliance and most of the time it is enjoyable, but it has really frustrating puzzles where you have to input something a specific arbitrary way. I almost rage quit after one puzzle wouldn't accept the correct answer.

Is it a full open world? Like I mean how do they restrict you from going everywhere at the start?

It's kinda linear in the beginning. Then, so far in you get more open world, but new york is split into zones. So not a huge open world, but zones of new york that you can roam and do stuff.
