If they halve the price and weight and I'd be very interested in one. The processing power should have been in the battery pack, and the outward facing screen seems absolutely worthless.
They had the tech to make it a great product but fell on their face with gimmicks and poor software support to actually make it succeed.
I don't think the processing needed to be in the battery pack, the weight savings would have been minimal compared to removing the second screen and it would have added more thermal management concerns.
They really needed halo apps to make it worth keeping, at least native Netflix.
But without that extra screen, you wouldn't get those creepy digital eyes that apparently don't work very well if you have dark skin!
Are you saying the luxury product company with the white aesthetic isn't designing or testing their products knowing that some of their customers might have dark skin? No way.
Next year when they release the not pro model for $1000 that's essentially an iPhone in one of those cardboard VR headsets, people are going to be all over it...
I don't think the weight itself is really the issue - the Vision Pro is significantly lighter than the Valve Index, but significantly less comfortable from the accounts I've heard. I bet it's more the weight distribution and horrible strap design that's making it so uncomfortable. I'd also add that the walled garden kills just about every use case I'd have for it.
