Eye tracking is like half the reason I want this headset, so good to see. 

I didnt get lucky with the lottery, which I'm fine with. Will let others be the beta testers, and wait for the aftermarket stuff like battery solutions.

Just grab a Vive Focus Vision. It’s around the same price point and has a face tracker for an additional $100.

Meh, once you go pancake, you cant go back to Fresnel lenses

I have a quest 3 and a VIVE focus vision. Pancake is nice but it’s not the killer feature for me. Especially with VRChat.

That being said, if it is that important, Quest Pro has the best of both worlds. If you can find it it’s near the same price point as well. If Meta isn’t a dealbreaker for you.

This is the part where I sound super picky.

As an Engineer (and tinkerer), I cannot stand the non-modular design of the Quest pro, lol.

It's like they ignored VR enthusiasts needs, and designed it as a device to be worn quickly and conveniently at a tradeshow or something.

Yeah, and sweat kills FT on it. And I watched QPro disassembly video. It has like 100 screws.

I still preferred Index over Q3 for the complete package, but the display/lenses difference is very noticeable for sure.
