There is no point if you have face tracking and it doesn’t work well… and the positional tracking alone is very difficult to provide well even for established companies (only Oculus’s one is very fluid) In the video they say confusing things like “R&D is cheap now” (really? Then why Magic Leap hasn’t delivered a solid product with 2B?)
