Because it’s not useful to me if I can’t wear it for a long time, both ergonomically and electrically. What I really, really want from VR is an infinite desktop, but not if I need to strap a pound of weight to my face and be plugged in constantly. I can buy a lot of monitor square footage for $3,500 and I don’t need to wear them on my face.

They went with a battery pack to keep the headset light, so ergonomically what you’re saying you want.

And even without the battery pack it weighs almost a pound and a half. That’s like a 20oz bottle of water strapped to my face. No way I can use that for hours.
