    The first testers already said it was too heavy to use for more than an hour, and certainly could not use this for the entire work day. It’s certainly not a replacement for the current screens and desk.

      Meh. Ride a bicycle for an hour, if you never do it, and your ass will hurt for days.

      Ride a bicycle once a week for a little while… and it’ll be perfectly comfortable no matter how long you sit on the seat. Your muscles will strengthen as necessary to compensate for the new load.

        Or like take office chairs: Sit in one for a few hours, you might start to feel sore. But sit in one for 8 hours a day for like 3 years, and you’ll end up with excellent posture and limber hamstrings from all the practice you’ve gotten.

        Pretty sure that’s how it works, anyway.

          Our necks are really strong. Far stronger than, for example, our arms or even our shoulders. In cultures that hadn’t invented the wheel, it was commonplace to carry heavy things with your neck. Your neck can carry loads similar to a wheel barrow, comfortably, all day long.

          I’d be a lot more worried about eye health than your neck.

      its weight is around the same as Oculus(Meta) Quest 2 And people have been using Quest 2 for hours, there are even some headstrap+power bank accessories for that too Quest 2 (503g) lasts 2+ hours BoboVR B2 battery (140g) last 2+ hours So people have been using 650g headset for hours normally before

      Also, motorcycle helmet weight 1500g Safety helmet Weight 200-600g So I think the weight is not the problem, just they aren’t used to that

        No this is wrong the difference between 500g headsets used for short bursts of gaming and 650g headsets requiring additional battery packs makes quite a difference and a lit of the weights influence comes through distribution and needed movement a motorcyclist ist wearing the helmet to do office work and dissent have the weight focused on the front of their face
