Meta Quest / VR Platform Video & Platform Icon

With the release of Batman: Arkham Shadow, one could argue that VR gaming has taken another huge step forward. I personally jumped back in after many years away simply because I could not connect with it as a hardcore gaming device as much as I hoped I would. I know I am alone in that opinion, but I was still surprised to see that (as far as I can tell) there is no media set up for the Meta Quest or any other VR device. No logos, no platform videos, no database or anything that would help me set it up and make it look great like everything else I have. I hope there is a chance that, if for no other reason than the sake of completeness, that those kinds of media can be created for people like me. I can understand it not being in the official database just yet because that would be a huge undertaking, but simply having the basic media set up (i.e. platform icons and platform videos) and an official VR category and platform in Launchbox as a shell would be a big help. 

I realize that part of the reason for the lack of LB support is that the Meta Quest 3 is mainly a standalone device and that the games are not "launched" through LB (though I do know you can use LB when connected to the PC). However, LB is so versatile, that I use it as my way to display the games for ALL my systems, even ones I cannot launch with it, like PS5, X-Box Series X and a few others. It would just be nice to be able to set that up too in Launchbox.

Is that a reasonable request and what would be the best way to request to have the basic media created?

Please let me know.

NOTE: I see another poster made a VR category icon, which is a start. If anyone knows where I could get the other media, please let me know that as well. Thank you in advance.

Sounds to me like you are looking to request something like a Meta Quest, or Meta Horizon OS type of platform that could be added to the Games Database used for Games that have come out for their Android based VR OS?
