          this is what the future will be like, nobody physically visiting each other because you can virtual censor your house so they can only look at specific things.

                To be fair, anyone getting "converted" by someone just telling them to touch boys doesn't sound very solidly straight to me to begin with, this guy isn't very convincing.

          Because trying to stuff too much shit into a small package and then making it slightly thinner with each generation is how you can do planned obsolescence easily. And then once it's thin and the thermals are shit you can offer performance improvements. And then once the performance is acceptable you can make it bigger and stuff more shit in it.
          It's all about facilitating mostly minor improvements and cyclical compromises.

          Maybe on a poverty budget or if you are a child who needs to convince a parent that still translates the cost of everything into a defunct currency without adjusting for inflation at all. Compared to practically any hobby, it's cheap.

          I keep wondering with all the obvious problems that have been pointed out, why don't they just make super small lightweight vr headsets like the beyond and pull all the other hardware in a separate pack around the waist? Wouldn't that solve a lot of issues with weight distribution and overall comfort? The only people who would complain are the furries in VR chat who use full body tracking. Just seems dumb for stand alone to jam everything to something strapped to your face.

          Doesn't fit the phoneshit business model.

          Valve deckard soon bros :^)

          God I fricking hope so.

          I feel like it wouldn't be any more awkward than the weirdness we're doing already. The fact that I have to buy a large battery pack to fix both the shitty battery life and act as a counter weight is really dumb. Like what comes to mind are the people that shrink down consoles and turn them into portables. Surely the guts can be ripped out and 3D printed into a more reasonable case. At worst you would have an HDMI cable going from your head to your waist.

          >I'm talking specifically about stand alone.
          The only difference between what you're describing and PCVR is the length of the headset cable.

      It certainly could solve some issues but it makes the system more awkward to put on, for something that is already too awkward for most people.
      I'd certainly try a headset like you're talking about but neither meta nor valve seem to be going in that direction and I hate apple, who is, so I don't see a headset like that on the horizon that I'd use.

        It wouldn't cause any more latency than connecting to a pc via HDMI cable.

      I think there's two big and obvious problems. One is that unless you're going with a fanny-pack or something else incredibly clumsy, you're still going to be constrained for space and thermals. And then the second problem is that if you do that, you're putting wires back in. People complain about that with the Apple VP.

    problems with the index is it is really heavy, uncomfortable to wear up on forehead for any amount of time, it's better to just take it off.
    lenses do slide back and forth a bit more than i think they should. causes image to go out of focus. IPD slider is in the worst spot possible, bumping the sliding track when you take the headset on or off is fairly regular, adds to the former issue.
    index controllers are a good idea and finger tracking should be the standard concept going forward, but they did have some quality issues that eventually caused me to RMA one.

    My Index is just a dedicated Beat Saber machine at this point.
    To be fair I do use it almost every day I love that game, but I don't even remember the last new VR game I played.
