AI infrastructure will provides Meta with a “strategic advantage,” Zuckerberg said. He once said almost the exact same thing about the metaverse.

    The index is also not as good as the quest 2. Although if a valve index full kit were selling for 233.3 dollars (1/3 of 700) that is honestly worth it solely for the basestations to use with full body tracking. Basestations tend to sell for 300 usd a pair.

    I’m not seeing any index full kits selling for that cheap though, at a minimum 550 for the full kit.

      The index controllers come with integrated finger tracking, the headset displays are higher resolution with better FOV and maximum refresh rates.

      Also they’re not meta, which counts for a lot.

      The only way I see a Q2 being superior to the index is wireless functionality (which I’ve heard is a situational blessing and curse), and standalone play, which is useless once you need a dedicated PC for any steamVR software (as the games are ran on the PC).
