I've been following SimulaVR/Simula for a while now, but really did not want to buy a (legacy) HTC Vive headset. This idea of a standalone Linux machine in a headset is something I'd definitely put some money towards given a bit more detail and timelines. Also pretty excited by John Carmack's recent tweets on sideloading stuff to the Quest. It feels like that would provide a much bigger opportunity for this project (cameras and all), than building/shipping new hardware.

Sideloading to the Go, not Quest right?

  You’re right, Caramack has been working on the Go. Sideloading does work on the Quest. The Go work has been a more open OS.

They're pretty cheap second hand. I recently got one for €200, including base stations (forward-compatible to a point) and "pro" audio strap. It's my first VR headset though, I understand not wanting to spend too much on something you already have a better version of. Also, the Valve Index is pretty much last (tethered) gen.
