>With the Omni One package, Virtuix says it will include a standalone VR headset, which in the promo material is a Pico Neo 2. Granted, users can also connect Omni One to a PC and play PC-based VR games using their own headsets, however the company is putting forward a complete package that “just works out-of-the-box,” Omni CEO and co-founder Jan Goetgeluk says.
>Although it’s uncertain precisely which standalone headset will ship with Omni One, the company will be pitching their own app store with games guaranteed to support the VR treadmill. This comes part and parcel with an obligatory monthly subscription called ‘Omni Online’ for online play, similar to Xbox Live and PS Plus.
>Virtuix says Omni One is slated to release sometime in Q2 of 2021 priced at $1,995. According to The Verge, the developer kit will sell for $995, however it will lack access to the Omni game store and the included VR headset.

>pay $1000 extra for the privilege of getting a standalone VR headset, using a proprietary store and having to pay a monthly subscription
>could buy a Valve Index for the extra price
>could buy an Oculus Quest for less than a third of the extra price

Assuming this product turns out to actually be good, who the fuck is going to buy the $2k standalone version instead of the $1k "Dev kit"
