I'd rather have it on my hip than on my head. Heavy headsets is what sucks more than how it looks (and tell me a headset that looksnon laughable.

The Quest Pro with those pancake lenses and distributed weight on front and Back looks pretty good.

Plus, a lot of us carried walkmans and discmans for years. Most still use wired headphones for phones in their pocket.

No pun intended, but Apple is hip, they'll make it happen. You're not going to be cool, unless you knocking over little old ladies and giving kids concussions from your battle brick.

Then what? You going to walk around with battery grenade on your waist, and then China can easily pay us back for Tik Tok ... Tick Tock.

You and a Tesla would have one thing in common. You both would be able to burn rubber. :-)

Tesla engineers said production was rushed. Outcome: Recalls, lots of recalls.

Engineers at Apple say they aren't ready. I believe them.

At that price point $3000, it is a bit troubling.

I got downvoted in the other thread about this for saying such things. Too many people don't understand we don't have the power technology to power a true AR device without swapping out massive battery bricks.

Think of it like this: hearing assistive devices are made tiny so that people can keep thinking they look cool. But no components that small can give a user the performance they ought to. Too small for good microphones, speakers and amps and feature-rich ultra-low-latency audio that sounds good. So you can have something tiny and limited or big and feature-rich.

You make it look like an iPod gen 1. Retro is hip.

I rather have the battery plus the apu/soc on my hip than on my head imo. It would reduce a hell of a lot of weight from the units.

But $3k for a rumored price and this thing is going to be a tough sell even for apple

I’m sure I can leave it on the nightstand while I watch vr porn which is the only thing vr is good for.
