I have a Quest 2 vr headset.
I was super excited when I got it but after a few hours I barely have used it since.
Impressive technology but I found it to be something of a pita...

“Social” was a total disaster; corporate use a fail; dedicated VR games (Beat Saber etc.) pretty good hits; but simulations (flight, driving) where seeing where you’re going is almost a must have.

“Almost” because in the competitive world where people are measuring milliseconds multiple monitors in a panoramic view might have an edge at the top levels.

By “competitive world” I don’t mean 14-year-olds throwing turtles at Mario. Ref. https://fastestlap.com/news/rig-to-ring-verstappen-just-changed-nurburgring-forever/:

VLN sporting director Christian Vormann didn’t try to hide the catalyst. “Since the launch of the DNLS in 2020, we’ve known sim racing is far more than casual entertainment,” he said. “It reproduces reality in a highly accurate way. More recently, Verstappen’s participation in an NLS race showed how crucial virtual preparation can be, especially on the demanding Nordschleife. His secret is sim racing. He’s completed countless laps on iRacing in the Green Hell, including DNLS events. It was no surprise he immediately felt comfortable.”

Nonetheless that wasn’t what Z had in mind, so...

I have a Quest 3, and the flight sims (and space pilot sims) are awesome.
