My head sweats a lot cycling; I wouldn't want to try and wear a VR headset while exercising.

  I really can't wait until this problem is solved. High volume training will become much easier.

  Could crank the ac if you have it. Helps me.

    I sweat a lot cycling outdoors at 45°F, too.

  My head sweats a lot playing VR, I couldn't imagine the torrent of sweat mixing them together.

  Mine does as well. There are plenty of VR headset cover options depending on what you want. I would try it before dismissing it, because it doesn't sound like you've even tried VR. I use silicone covers and I have a small towel on my neck. It works fine. There are other options as well.

    The silicon cover + towel is a game changer / pro move!
    - chaostheory 6y ago
      The real game changer is just simply trying out VR before forming a really strong opinion. A lot more people are making big assumptions on HN then I would have expected. If only Facebook didn't start their Facebook login requirement so soon. More people would actually try it out since the cost would be low enough

        People are weirdly polarized over VR. It's seemingly a trend to knock it before trying it. I think it's been somewhat of a walled garden for a long time due to price (headset + PC)... So a lot of people formed negative opinions about it before even trying it.

Is there one that doesn't require logging with Facebook?
- chaostheory 6y ago
  For general VR yes, but a decent system costs approximately $600 more not including the cost of a VR capable PC. Not many people want to or have the means to make that kind of investment vs giving up some privacy temporarily.
