I’ve heard people bring up fitness, but the physical experience of sweating with a headset strapped to my face sounds unpleasant. It also turns the product into “gym equipment”. Is it waterproof? Can I give it a good wash in the sink and dry it? Or am I putting it on later with it soaked in cold sweat? How’s it going to smell after a couple of weeks?

Have you worked out in Supernatural on oculus?

Go back over old threads here where people describe it as life changing.

I used supernatural for many months, and yes it does get sweaty—-you have to wear awkward vr sweatbands.

But the experience is like no other exercise I’ve tried. The reporting about the meta acquisition of this company is all off.

This is a major market, and it doesn’t really matter if it is $3k if it gets people to enjoy exercise. People spend vast amounts of money on fitness equipment.

This would be just one use case for the product, but a perfect fit for apple’s ecosystem.

All of their other wearables and phones are waterproof at this point, why wouldn't this one be? Rinse it off in the sink when you are done!
