This isn’t likely to be a compelling spatial computer.

The pass-through video is monochrome and the screens have about 40% of the pixels compared to the Vision Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy XR is much closer to being a Vision Pro competitor.

The Steam Frame is very focused on playing games locally and streamed from a PC.

I'd be willing to take the L on the hardware in order to be able to actually run the software I care about. (I own a Vision Pro and barely use it because the pejorative description of "an iPad on your face" is more accurate than I would like to admit.)

I don’t know exactly how open the Android XR system on the Galaxy XR is, but it is likely better than the Vison Pro in that regard.

Monochrome is rough, but I think pixel count is a few orders of magnitude less important than being able to actually use the damn thing. The Vision Pro has been out for over a year and I haven't seen a single notable application that takes advantage of the hardware, and it seems that that's largely in part due to it being nigh impossible to develop and run software on it.

neither is the Apple Vision Pro
