This being a whole system that will allow you to put whatever software you want onto it makes me think that it might actually succeed at being what the Vision Pro wanted to be.

This isn’t likely to be a compelling spatial computer.

The pass-through video is monochrome and the screens have about 40% of the pixels compared to the Vision Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy XR is much closer to being a Vision Pro competitor.

The Steam Frame is very focused on playing games locally and streamed from a PC.

I'd be willing to take the L on the hardware in order to be able to actually run the software I care about. (I own a Vision Pro and barely use it because the pejorative description of "an iPad on your face" is more accurate than I would like to admit.)

I don’t know exactly how open the Android XR system on the Galaxy XR is, but it is likely better than the Vison Pro in that regard.
