It’s fine, I’m not really challenging the fact that you have the income you claim to have. (While it is true that income is hard to verify online, that might have been a cheap potshot on my part, for which I do apologize. I found it hard to resist the self reported income and self reported sex life comparison.) Like I said, if you’ve got the disposable income and want a high end VR headset, by all means buy Apple’s when it comes out.
Maybe the dude was jealous, it was poorly written so I had a hard time parsing it. I think his main claim, though, was that this headset wouldn’t be a pro headset (I’m not sure his logic about it) and thus wouldn’t be worth the cost (and I took that as meaning relative to other $2k professional VR headsets, like the kind you might use in welding). He could be right about that, he could be wrong.
For what it’s worth, I just saw the Horizon Worlds commercial last night. I’m sorry, but I can’t get over the cartoony avatar business. If I’m in VR hanging with friends (most of my friends are people I know personally, even if I don’t live in the same part of the country as them anymore) or family, I don’t want to be a cartoony avatar of myself, I’d rather be my own avatar (and video chat excels at that, while still allowing photo filters or MeMoji type avatars if I want those things). Not to mention that cartoony 3D avatars seem fairly unprofessional for a work environment (at least at any place more formal than the most informal of Silicon Valley startups). (Of course, in reality, it’s an attempt at averting the uncanny valley, as 3D [least of all on a device as cheap as the Oculus Quest] isn’t good enough to generate a 3D CGI version of you*. You could possibly do something with deep fake technologies to graft your face and body shape onto existing 3D footage of a real human, but that would almost certainly be too taxing for the Quest computationally once you’ve got more than one or two people you’re trying to generate.)
* It might be good enough to create a 3D GCI image of Mark Zuckerberg, but not you or I!
