@Austin Tate I guess it'll really only work on USB VR headsets attached to machines with fairly recent, fairly high-end hardware, especially if guaranteed 60fps are the goal.

I'm running upper-mid-range hardware from ca. 2018, and I'm one of the lucky few OpenSim users for whom Firestorm 7.1.9 works well enough to have become the new daily driver, also because it's so fast. Still, with a few more avatars in my field of vision, the fps drop under 60 even with shadows and ambient occlusion off. And that's without VR.

I guess stand-alone headsets with passively-cooled mobile hardware won't stand a chance.
