yes to all. the optics are very good. more over i can use it in standalone mode if i only need a terminal - termux.

the software side is WayVR which a wayland compositor (?) that can handle windows, or can also handle monitors (and virtual ones) at least with KDE

the harness is basically adb + some profiling changes and the ability for the model to dump frames
