Looks like the SimularVR ( https://simulavr.com/ ) guys are getting serious about something like this:

Maybe worth for Pine64 to talk to them for becoming a hardware partner? @tllim
Edit: Ah, looks like they want to use a Intel based platform for now: https://simulavr.com/shop/
But the software should also run on a ARM platform. Maybe similar to the Librem5 / PinePhone situation this could spawn a lower spec and cheaper tinkerer device by Pine64?
Edit: I asked on their Discord and they said the would love for someone else making a compatible device. The code is all open-source licensed, so no problem legally.
Main problem would be Vulkan support for the GPU, but PanVK is slowly making progress.
