These glasses are actually insanely cool. I'd pay so much for an open source pair and the band.

It sucks that no matter what cool new hardware meta comes out with will always be ruined by them stuffing in "meta integration".

Agreed, I’d totally buy a Meta Quest as well if they didn’t zuck up all their devices with spyware that can’t be removed.

It would be really nice if every country would enact digital privacy laws so that Meta's business model was just forced to be better. They genuinely have some of the best and most accessible VR/AR hardware available.

It would of course be nicer if a more ethical competitor stepped up in a serious way but no one seems that interested. It's interesting that the vast majority of Meta's business model is being extremely good at copying or buying out competitors but with VR they're basically the only ones actually sinking serious money into making it a thing.
