Leave off or reduce the housing, the metal clips, the plastics around the wires within die VP and use a rubber belt for the head strip fastening.
anyway, the plastics around the wires that are within is not needed. It should be possible to leave it off, because opening of the devices is not a feature and shorts are then not the thing to be afraid off..
Other things like design of the interior, like fastening the lenses or distance holders, nose bump.. here an extreme reduction is may not be possible, but utilizing grids joins and locks and using porous plastics may also have a reduction.
The other thing is,why reduce at all? The problem is, it's to heavy in the front. so pull it back to achieve equilibrium xD
- dxmachina 3y agoFrom my perspective (having tried headsets since DK1) the weight is the pivotal barrier that prevents mass adoption. I have never found any combination of strap/headset that I'd want to wear as an all-day or even half-day device. I wonder how much weight could conceivably even be reduced. I look forward to someone doing a teardown in the future. But hey - maybe this is finally my old-man moment in tech?
