I still lament the discontinuing of samsung's gear VR. I understand it still exists kinda as the oculus Go, but there was something called PhoneCast which would let you open any of the apps from your phone side by side with arbitrarily large windows. [1]

many times I've had the pleasure of running linux on my VR glasses and using a browser to debug webapps I can write entirely offline.

meta and apple are so close but the user experience for normal people matters to them significantly more than developers.
