I had the Oculus quest DK2 before oculus was bought by Facebook and enjoyed playing whatever people made, but the more Facebook locked everything down the less interested I became in VR.
Now you can’t even play with a quest unless you have a Facebook account, and it seems so easy to get locked out of your account on purpose or accidentally.
Are there unlocked VR headsets that I can just have fun with instead of being locked into one company and their products?
Thanks
If you really don’t want to be tied to any accounts, buying something like an HTC vive 2nd hand and setting it up on a linux computer using Envision is probably the most libre VR setup you can reasonably get that is both capable and affordable. Keep in mind the HTC vive is from 2016 so the screens and optics are not great but the 2nd hand cost should reflect that. The only account you will need if you want a good experience will be a Steam account since Envision borrows a driver from SteamVR to work, though once you have done that you could just log out. LVRA is a great source of info for this stuff.
Okay, cool. Thanks.
I’m going to dig into that site, there is way more to this question than I thought there was haha.
