but you can't use it like the AVP right? the camera in Steam Frame is black and white only (or is grayscale the better term?)

There is an expansion port on the nose area that can be used to add color cameras if you really want that.

Personally, I think not being tied to a particular OS in the control of the device manufacturer is much more important than whether the cameras are color or just grayscale.

well the whole point of AVP, at least to me and many others, is the AR functionality , being able to walk around your house and having virtual screens in every room. Stuff like that. You would want full colour for that I think
The LCDs are colored so the virtual screens would also be. Not sure walking around a grayscale world is all that bad.
Ah you’re right I was keying off of “Linux friendly” and missed the AR part.
