The Valve Index Gets The iFixit Teardown Treatment!

We had so much fun tearing down the Meta Quest Pro that we decided to take a closer look at another popular VR headset — the Valve Index. The Index was released all the way back in 2019, so it’s not quite cutting edge tech — but now that VR and AR are part of the mainstream tech landscape, we thought it would be good to see how different companies find solutions to the complexities of VR.

Make sure you get the best tools known to mankind!
