I would say it's a delicate balance, with heavy batteries being the most annoying for heavy users (the target audience, from what I can tell), who will have pocket battery packs, or low moment-of-inertia placements, anyways. I personally don't want any unnecessary weight on my face since I sometimes use my headsets for 8 hours at a time, for coding. For comparison, something like the nreal air [1] is only 79g! 1. https://www.nreal.ai/specs/ https://www.nreal.ai/specs/

  I stream my desktop, with a few virtual screens, using ImmersedVR [1], but other options are available, like VirtualDesktop [2] (over local/remote network), which can be used with something like ShadowPC for full cloud. Others I know code completely in the native browser with the multi-screen interface you see in Meta commercials. Native is still a work in progress, but you can sideload android apps to put them into their own windows. For desktop streaming, you can use your desktop keyboard/mouse, or a bluetooth keyboard/mouse connected to the headset. For native apps, you use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse connected to the headset. The headset sees/tracks the (supported) keyboard with the passthrough cameras and shows a passthrough window/overlay, where it is. I have no doubt that virtual displays are the future, but probably not until form factors are like the nreal air [3], which I think is still too limited for resolution. Next gen, I'll probably switch over. People will probably be happy enough once PPD triples. 1. https://www.immersed.com/ https://www.immersed.com/ 2. https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/de7ojk/using_virtual_desktop_remotely/ https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/de7ojk/using_v... 3. https://www.nreal.ai/air/ https://www.nreal.ai/air/

Additional weight isn't matter or even better if it's balanced well. I put weight on my back like this that is more comfortable than nothing. https://assets.st-note.com/production/uploads/images/37127756/rectangle_large_type_2_c956fcb732bacffc840d2d089651093e.jpg https://assets.st-note.com/production/uploads/images/3712775... Quest Pro has battery on the back so it looks very well balanced. Let's see how long the battery lasts.
