The Quest 3 is capable of the same stuff and is only $500.
Adding the Valve Index is a another high end model that does all this and more for $1000.
The big difference is the Apple's AR features
I’d agree with you, but the index isn’t a standalone device. Pack all the computing power into the index and the price is going to skyrocket.
Edit to add: index doesn’t have eye or hand tracking.
They already did, the VIVE XR Elite, and its $1000.
What? That’s… an entirely different headset? Not even the same manufacturer. There’s also some fairly significant differences between them. The person I replied to said that the Index does all the same stuff that the Vision Pro does which is empirically incorrect.
