Resontite doesn’t require a headset. It runs in desktop just as well… You just don’t get body tracking.

Meta isn’t the only VR space. Resontite VR plays like VR chat meets Gary’s mod, and supports most equipment you can hook up. It is not perfect but there are frequent updates trying to address the issues, same as any platform.

When it breaks, it isn’t always obvious or easy to fix, but can cause problems for anything that has to talk to anything else. The biggest thorn it puts in my side is that short names [ThisPC] are served differently than fqdn [ThisPC.MyDomain.com]. Does NotMyApp use short or FQDN to resolve other machines? I don’t find out until the Wireshark.

Bottom left looks dumb now, but in 15 years when it is still doing heavy lifting as a legacy application with no external support, they’ll be happy it was overbuilt.
