And even without the battery pack it weighs almost a pound and a half. That's like a 20oz bottle of water strapped to my face. No way I can use that for hours.
So complain about that, the thing that is actually a problem for you.
It's a symptom of a larger problem, which is that electronics are no where miniature enough to make VR widespread. It's like trying to make a desktop computer out of vacuum tubes.
for YOUR use case… which is using it for extended periods as a massive desktop
i’d say that’s pretty niche actually… most people aren’t using technology for hours at a time
People spend 4.5 hours a day on average on their phone. People work in front of screens for eight or more hours a day. People - not naming names - have upwards of 1500 hours of play time in Factorio.
You're just wrong here.
I have the PS5 VR and it's totally fine to use for long periods of time.
