Regardless of what you think of Oculus/Facebook, this seems like only good news for VR as a whole…
!virtualreality@lemmy.ml is now open for all general VR discussion! Come share your favorite VR experiences, talk about current and upcoming hardware, or just post a meme or two…
If Linux phones stick around for the next several years I could see them being the next platform where a phone-laptop convertible is attempted. It would probably even be successful too (by Linux phone standards) with a small but strong community forming around it. Open source puts a Linux phone-laptop convertible in a really strong software position, and even then a lot of people would probably be set with just a web browser.
I’m glad you brought up the Apple chips. With all their devices now using chips designed in-house, I’m thinking that they’re one of the closest to being capable of a mainstream phone-laptop convertible. But I kinda doubt they’d be the ones to pioneer that for multiple reasons.
As a new user I think it’d be nice to know what features are currently planned or being worked on. There’s of course the Github page but is there anywhere else I should know about?..
Yeah I think it’ll still be a bit before anyone is able to really go toe to toe with Oculus on standalone with the headstart they’ve had, but there’s already some more promising hardware around the corner. PSVR2 will be a hit I’m sure. I think Valve is rumored to be working on something as well.
