The group, which calls itself XR Research Institute, claims that the launch is set for this year, and estimates a production run of 400,000 to 600,000 units per year.

For comparison, that’s roughly the production scale of Apple Vision Pro. Meanwhile, 2.5 million people have unlocked the achievement for completing the Quest 3 and Quest 3S introductory mixed reality experience after two years, and Quest 2 sold north of 20 million units. As another point of comparison, estimates peg Steam Deck at around 5 million units after almost four years.

    My Index worked great on AMD hardware, linux software, to play HL Alyx.

    At the time, I was using PopOS!, and the straight .deb version of Steam/Proton, mesa drivers for AMD.

    Only thing that stuck out was initially that it wasn’t properly registering the front pass thru camera properly as its own video source, but that got fixed… well, literally years ago now.
