Is it purely a VR desktop window simulator, or can it play video games?

(funny aside from the video ad: they didn't finish the clip showing the guy managing to take a sip from the cup with the headset on, haha.)



In standalone mode, gaming will be pretty limited. It's an Iris Xe GPU that has its mouth full pushing 5k x 2.5k pixels at 90Hz, after all.

In tethered mode, totally possible.


To clarify: will the standalone detachable model be able to detach and tether to another computer? Or will I have to use the compute unit to use it?


The standalone is going to be usable tethered.

The compute unit will be usable as a separate device, as well.
