I'm actually really hyped for this, I was thinking I would have to get the ultra-proprietary Varjo headsets to get a really good headset in 2022, but I'm really looking hard at the Tethered version and building my own RDNA2 based compute unit. I'd much rather give 2k to an open source project.

Nice! Fair warning, you'll probably have reduced AR mode fidelity in tethered mode unless you have a Thunderbolt/PCIe link. Our compute pack uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 link to the front FPGA to get uncompressed image data (compression is something I want to avoid due to latency and memory bandwidth issues).

Ideally we would have a way to compose the AR image in the front, but that's a massive engineering challenge.
