Tbh- I find this timing real unfortunate. Steam Frame is coming out in a few months and I find it’s open source software compelling as well as the hardware in general - I am also wary of the Zuck. That said, it’s not ready yet so that info doesn’t really help you.

1. Ecosystems, for now, the meta quest 3 is one of the most popular headsets on the market. So it is fairly well supported, even if meta just laid off a bunch of their VR people.
2. Price to performance for what I understand the Zuck is wallet tanking the market so it has great price to performance but will fall significantly short of the performance on the much higher end.
3. I can’t answer this I haven’t looked into phone VR enough
4. The meta quest is capable of being standalone, but if you were to drive it from a PC instead the GPU power would vary by title. Gorilla tag wouldn’t take much, but cyberpunk would be a bit difficult.

I am answering as someone who has recently become interested in VR so anyone else can feel free to correct me or educate me as well.

Good luck finding the right device for your kid.

I have no idea but I’m definitely going to say the tone of rolling big tech layoffs doesn’t stop here.

Really happy to see. I need to start posting more.

Suspended for somebody else stealing 40 dollars from a teacher and then using 20 of it to buy snacks from me. :)
