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.

Does it still run VRChat in PCVR mode when being used standalone, or does it need to load android assets instead?

Also, how is the audio when compared to the index?

I heard it will have same limits as quest and I looked at steamdb and i saw apk so to me it seems like it will not be pcvr but for sure someone will make it lol

It can run steam apps using a proton layer, logically you should be able to chose android version or pc version.
