A slashdot article claiming the headset has 14 cameras for lifelike avatars.

So apparently they're having a screen on the front so you can see the users eyes. But the screen means the tracking cameras have had to move, and that's impacted the tracking. On top of that, there's supposedly some latency due to everything going on. And finally, it may have been mentioned already, but it's not going to have any controllers, relying on hand tracking etc.
Sounds like a device with no focus (no pun intended)
As much as I despise Facebook/Meta as a platform, the VR side is very well focused on the user experience, and removing the barriers to VR use, making it cheap and easy to get into.
Though of course they completely dropped the ball when requiring Facebook accounts as that is not a user-friendly experience.

Would have expected a lot more solid rumours by now if it was coming that soon. It's less than two months.
Hand tracking is awesome in theory. I wish psvr2 had hand tracking so I didn't have to use the heavy and bulky controllers

How do you move and shoot without controllers?
That's the problem. "In theory" it could be great but, having tried it on Quest, in practice it's pretty limiting compared to using an actual controller with proper tracking, sticks and buttons.

I tried a PSVR2 last week, I though the room setup, HMD weight and clarity was good but otherwise PCVR had it beat already just at a higher price point

and rumours are it's supposed to be very, very good

15 cameras and the top apple mobile chip makes for an exceptional experience I'd imagine. However the price tag is likely to put it so far out of my reach it's not even with dreaming about!
Be interesting to see just how expensive it is in the end.

Well it almost certainly won't work with steamvr and the like, so no flight or sim racing. No beat saber either I'd image, so it will be apple specific games and apps. Granted, I assume they will be pretty awesome.
Hell of an expensive way to play mini golf though
( :edit: oh nope, no controllers with it I don't think)I'll still be watching the announcement with great interest.

And very very expensive
It has one 4k MicroLED display for each eye, 12 cameras and one Apple M2 CPU and GPU processor for each display to compute all that data - each M2 processor contains 8 CPU and 20 GPU cores
With these specs and the $3000 it costs, the headset better be capable of doing everything an iPhone can
