Does HTC have any sort of roadmap or released any statements about the future of this device? I bought one, but it's seriously hamstrung by some of the design and lack of optimization of any software for it. Really wondering if there is any collateral put out by HTC to allay consumers worries or if this is a device I should be attempting to return.
My primary concerns are:
- the brutal frame lag when moving your head faster than 1cm per second
- terrible implementation of HDCP 2.2 Miracast (which I mean, is fine, I guess I can just obtain the media I want to consume from less reputable sources than Disney, Netflix etc.)
- phone as a 3dof controller is just bad. This thing NEEDS hand tracking to be viable or at least a cheap controller provided to all purchasers for free.
- poor software (enabling passthrough literally crashes my device when I attempt to load back into the software, also - why on earth is passthrough something that requires load time? That defeats the purpose of passthrough!)
- memory leaks (apps regularly crash back to the home screen stating memory issues
The worst part is that I actually like the device itself, it feels nice, the form factor is cool, the diopter pancake lenses are great. It lacks SOC horsepower which means it needs VERY good optimization to achieve good results.
