Second hand my dude

But the biggest issue is it wont run facebook oculus apps

Why would I want Facebook apps?

[–] yhvr@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I think what was meant here is that it won't run apps designed for the Oculus Quest lineup (which is based on Android), not the actual Facebook application

iOS doesn’t run android apps. I don’t think many people will care. Most apps can be ported.

[–] Euphoma@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The apple vision pro doesn't have motion controllers like the quest line of headsets, so apps would have to be redesigned for hand tracking instead.

Also, apple said recently that devs have to cannot describe their apps using the words VR, AR, or XR on any platform it is on, they have to be called spacial computing apps, so anything with VR in the title like VRChat can't get ported without a full rebrand.
