I'm curious about the typing experience. Is the Simula One able to bring the keyboard into the virtual environment or do you need to rely on touch typing? I know Meta partnered with Logitech on a special keyboard (K830) to try and solve for this. How are you thinking about it?

Our VRC supports an "AR Mode" via two front-facing RGB cameras, which allows you to see your keyboard. There's a snazzy demonstration of it our main sales video.

Here's a more down to earth video of us testing it last summer in our compositor: https://youtu.be/6H5-mdGpKZg Note this is just an early test with a single fish eye lens (grainy; distortion not corrected). Our actual AR mode is much higher quality than this.
