The heat should be fairly manageable. Most of the front side components are low-power and we'll be managing the climate in the face part so you don't get sweaty due to low circulation. The compute pack will be at the back of your head with the airflow going away from you, so it shouldn't be too noticeable. Thermal design is definitely a priority for us. Putting it on your head reduces the amount of cables on your person, so you don't accidentally tangle yourself or something. Also, it improves the balance so it might actually feel better than a front-heavy headset (compare a Vive with an Index for example).
