I'm always disappointed that no mention is ever made of Razer's OSVR HMD (HDK):

Open-Source. Virtual Reality.
Instead we get closed source, walled garden, proprietary APIs - and of course, virtually zero Linux support.

- shakna 9y agoHTC frequently send out Vive kits or new controllers like their tracker free. (Though the full product is about $800). Whereas Razer makes it difficult to find a price, but when you do, it's about $400 for their devkit. That aside, the huge difference is Steam's backing. Steam is where customers go, and they only see Vive there. (Where Linux users are I'm afraid, quite a small percentage. But, the Vive has decent support for Vulkan on Linux, and as Vulkan becomes more and more the standard, it'll work better and better).
