It could be. Just like you can use Android phones without signing into Google (or at least could, not sure how stock OS works nowadays as I'm on microG for the last couple years).
- chaostheory 4y agoThen there’s only one possible choice: SimulaVR It’s a stand alone full system though
- cesarb 4y ago> It’s a stand alone full system though AFAIK, it will be possible to use SimulaVR either in standalone mode (with its own portable computer running everything) or in tethered mode (plugged into a normal computer which runs everything); there's even an option on the preorder page to get a version without the portable computer (it is my understanding that the portable computer is detachable, so the full version can be transformed into a tethered-only version simply by detaching it).
- notpushkin 4y agoWell, there's always less official choices :-) For example on phones, we have rooting / jailbreak and the aforementioned microG. On Oculus, there's a way to skip the mandatory account sign in and just sideload apps instead. [1] Some tracking will still be there, but I think as it grows more popular we'll also see custom ROMs for it. Maybe even some running the Simula OS?
