       gotta say I am kind of getting bored of the 'furries are the only people doing anything interesting in vr' attitude that you see from furry commenters on basically any vr-related news media. I think a lot of furries get kind of tunnel-visioned into their own communities and as a result lose any sense of awareness of the world that their cohort is not directly involved in

       like yes, furries are doing some very cool things but furry cons by attendance are still significantly smaller than anime cons, and the weebs colonized vrchat before we did

       that tweet that elf sternberg posted that's just breathlessly going 'look! furries invented sign language in VR and developed hand tracking' while making a snide comment about how meta is struggling to catch up to furries that got two thousand likes, just blithely unaware that finger tracking is a specific feature of the meta quest 2 that vrchat only just started beta testing. but no, furries invented it because it was a video of a furry demonstrating it

       meta's horizon worlds has plenty of room for dunks upon, but meta's quest and quest 2 are vr headsets that can get people into VR for significantly lower cost than any PCVR setup, since they can be used as standalone devices that don't need a desktop PC

       They don't interest me as a user both because they require that you be in the facebook ecosystem, and because of their pedigree as oculus devices - palmer luckey is a fascist shitbag, which immediately put me off the brand, and getting bought by zuck only compounded that distaste for me. but, like it or not, the quest has the lowest barrier to entry for vr, and a lot of kids' first exposure to vr is going to be through the quest
