This could have been an absolutely insane product, if they sold it without all the useless bullshit like the facial passthrough, at a decent price. As it is, especially given how fragile it is, it's just a toy at best.
It's basically taken the exact opposite route of something like the Xbox Kinect, which turned from a toy into something people use in science
I really don't think head sets will ever be absolutely insane products.
Lots of people just don't want to strap a display to their face.
They might be cool for gaming at least. Or porn.
Idk, vr porn is creepy af. Or at least it used to be 5 yrs ago or so... Imagine a girl so huge one her tit is bigger than your head, for example. So, yeah, I noped out pretty much instantly
