How do you know all of this?

I just want a reasonably priced generational bump over the Index. Most PCVR headsets that have pancake lenses are either obscenely priced, are ridiculously heavy, or have reportedly terrible QA. From what I've seen lately, usually all three are true.

You can get close in features and price with something like a Pico or a Quest, but they lack direct DisplayPort connection, so it's compressed wireless PCVR, compressed "wired" PCVR (which basically uses a networking protocol anyway), or no PCVR at all.

Myself, and I'm sure a ton of other people, are hoping for the Deckard to be "huge" for the PCVR market, just like the Index was when it released. Maybe we're all coping, and we probably even are, but I think a lot of people are generally unhappy with the state of the PCVR hardware market right now.

So all this is to say... I really hope this thing is much better than a glorified flat screen projector.

It has huge pent up expectations from the community, that’s for sure.

I see everyone projecting their ideal headset onto the rumors. Hopefully it hits as many checkboxes as possible.

You didn’t answer the original question.

That's not the person I originally asked.

The person I asked actually did reply to me on this thread... but didn't answer how they know all this.
