Yes, I agree, this is a tremendous achievement and a great project.
- theon144 6y agoNobody disagrees with that, I greatly respect the project's authors, and even just successfully replicating it would be undoubtedly a great learning experience! I think the comment is just trying to align the expectations better, given the context in which it appears and is communicated. The $200 claim is plainly inaccurate, and unlike many open-source projects whose stated and successfully executed aims are to provide a hacker-friendly, cheaper alternative, this project does is not one of those; and its technology is in fact inferior. If one aims to experiment with VR, there's simply better options for an individual. This is separate from the project itself being a great achievement and/or a potential base for further community improvements - and it would be appropriate to celebrate those aspects, which the website, and their ProductHunt entry do not communicate too well - as is evident from even this comment section.
