    This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

    I’d rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.

          I also happen to be a Linux enthusiast, and since it’s SteamVR compatible, it should just work. There aren’t a lot of Linux compatible headsets, so I’m guessing Linux users would disproportionately be interested, and they’d disproportionately not have iphones…
