Own objectives

goal

~~not to show that VR works, or is "cool"~~, but rather that
everyone including non professional developers, or developer wannabees DO have affordances in virtual world. That kids & adults alike are able to shape back virtual reality content, social or not, and thus have agency even with and thanks to emergy technologies like VR.
roughly based on TADAWorkshopJanuary2026
- consider scaling up if we do get ~15 headsets
  - potential RPi Zero limitation https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=255373
potentially relying on https://home.benetou.fr as showcase of self-hosting, no intermediary
document the Quest2 setup via adb (for local sideload update) and PrivateQuest
could print https://www.fixmyoculus.com/collections/quest-2-parts to make it a game
- how to put it back together
  - few gotcha like 4x cameras
- total price for pieces (~$400)
