No eye tracking? Good luck, that’s what all the best emerging headsets are getting.

HTC? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time, a long time.

Maybe it's so bad that they have to delay the reveal because revealing it now would make everyone buy the quest

So valve can make a third.

Dozens!

Glad I'm not alone in the process, now to go and crush the creeper in 3's story again.

I've had two now, first the shark fin one which I have passed down to my daughter and she is still using and I'm a few years usage on mysecond in now, battery is feeling low but after coming up on 4 years I would expect that

ohhhhhh. Yea thats bullshit then

While I get the reservation the truth is you're going to have to make an account for any product you use and they'll all be tracking the same thing.

You don't use Xbox, Playstation, or Steam without an account registered to the company

I had the HTC with the front facing speakers and the ultra pixel camera. It rocked.

Lmao I clicked on the first video showing the effect but I guess I accidentally shared the ad instead

Just fixed it!

>The device you own has standalone software.

I have an occulus rift.

Well, the Steam Deck is running SteamOS 3 already, so....

The device you own has standalone software.

Other VR headsets don't they just work via plug n play, which means they have to be connected to a computer for use.

The Quest 2 can work on its own, no wires. And to get the apps, games, etc on that standalone software, it needs a login account.

I have a Facebook account, rarely use it. but when I got my quest I made another facebook account just for the quest. Has nothing on it, purely just for the login.

But if you have no desire to ever use your headset without it being connected to a computer, then it just sounds like the Quest 2 wasn't the best fit for your needs. Especially if creating an account is an undesirable requirement.

Me, I have one lol. I don't need a phone for all the utility things phones can do nowadays. All I do is scroll, text, and watch porn on it. The novelty of it flipping it is my joy

Camera is ass considering what's on the market nowadays but I don't take much photos either

Surprising? No.

Annoying? Yes. I bought my occulus many moons ago, and deleted FB long before that. So to have to re-join the ecosystem to use my hardware is a drag, especially because I get my games through steam and not occulus.

I completely understand needing a login to use the occulus store, but I don't use occulus store I use steam. So I don't want to create a zuckerberg acount to simply use a device I own.

It is so surprising?

I need a Steam account to purchase and play games from steam. I need a PS account to play games on playstation. Need an Xbox account for Xbox.

The occulus has an app store built in, so having an account is going to be a necessary requirement.

The earlier brushbacks were mainly because it required a facebook account, people felt like it was intrusive to ask for a social media account for a log in. But folks without facebook can make a meta account, and treat it just as they would buying games on Origin or Epic.

I think it is more a ding on the non L rf lenses. They are pretty slow for the price and some of which use plastic elements. The 85mm f2.0 rather than a 1.8 for example on the slow side and the 50mm 1.8 that definitely uses plastic elements.

The real issue is that canon went after both Samyang and Viltrox for making cheaper and better 85mm and 35mm rf autofocus lenses. So basically you either have to adapt older ef Lenes many of which are 20+ years old and not really made for modern sensors and AF or pay the L premium or settle for sharp but slower rf non L glass that is kinda over priced.

They absolutely require a Meta account now. Why take the time to do a quick Google before looking like an idiot?

I have one and its awesome for my needs -

• Very small form factor
• Screen is protected from scratches (because it folds away)
• Helps with phone addiction because you can do the simple things without even opening the phone, so you dont spend hours mindlessly scrolling

Yeah, they have been making high end VR headsets for a long time.

The most HTC move ever.
