Instead, it is not for people wanting: An affordable device ( Rift S is much better in this sense); A portable device ( Oculus Quest or Vive Focus Plus are the way to go); A super-big screen resolution ( Varjo VR-1 or HP Reverb are better in this sense); An easy-to-use headset (again, Rift S or WMR devices like the Samsung Odyssey are better).
