Tethering the headset to an iPhone in your back pocket to offload the processing still makes the most sense to me. By the time this thing comes out, iPhone 13 or 14 will be pretty powerful, and most people already own one so the headset can be a lot cheaper and more lightweight.
Wireless tethering would be best, but a thin wire would be fine too, I'd probably prefer that to having a radio on my temple all the time.
I wonder what kind of display tech they are planning to use - laser projection or something else? I've been seeing tiny 1" OLED displays from China lately with 2560x2560 resolution on Alibaba, pretty cool. But of course they block your vision, unlike a projector.
- istorical 6y agoThe main problem with this approach is you decimate your phone's battery life anytime you use it as a remote processing unit for VR/AR, at least in the case of Samsung Gear VR that's what John Carmack learned. Users end up having to calculate whether they'd rather use the VR device or have more spare battery to get them through the day / until next charge.
