So it does have position tracking. I guess it uses an external camera directed at you - of course that will be far from perfect, especially if you only have one. But it has potential. With more cameras and an improved model, it could possibly even do FBT in the future. At no or marginal upgrade cost.
I see more in this than just a weekend project. Even the fact that you can just buy a new lens when one gets damaged means this might actually save you money. (This actually happened to my Quest; lucky I could save it with some polish.)
Saying it "has tracking" is a bit of a stretch, given that the tracking isn't a feature of the headset, but rather a separate system that can theoretically work with any other non-tracking headsets.
