A possible issue that came to my mind now: what's the weight of these headsets? Compared to glasses, which are lighter, they extend significantly from the vertical axis of the body. I wonder if we're going to develop a thick neck and/or neck pains instead of carpal tunnels. Nobody is 20 or 30 yo forever.
- somewhereoutth 3y agoYes I found this with any use of a VR headset. I'm surprised not more is made of it - the neck is a very delicate structure, and surely any serious health and safety implications would cause all sorts of legal bother if nothing else.
- jayd16 3y agoYou build up the muscles and it's not a big deal. I've never heard of anyone getting hurt, only some fatigue at first.
- redundantly 3y agoIt is absolutely a big deal. Poor ergonomics in regular office environments leads to neck problems that can get extremely severe. Throwing 2-3 more pounds on your head can make that a lot worse.
- jayd16 3y agoYeah they can be heavy. You'll probably want a third party strap that holds the battery. Those are usually more balanced and comfortable.
- dvngnt_ 3y agomy top choice is the bigscreen vr which is truly a goggle size headset
