> Some of us don't have the luxury of removing glasses after 2 hours, so... Yeah

Exactly! You're making my point, people do not want that unless they're forced to

I wear glasses (big plastic ones even) nearly every waking hour and don't consider them uncomfortable at all. They're fine.

I think there is probably a non trivial gap in terms of how comfortable it is to wear a VR helmet vs a pair of glasses

s/they're forced to/they get value out of it/

People wear things on their face 16 hours a day because they provide value. A portable substitute for a monitor that also supports arbitrary multitasking and immersion is (potentially) valuable.

This. I'm imagining having my triple 27-inch 4K displays on the go with my MacBook while also being compact and fit into my computer bag.

$3500 for that? I'm game. I paid more than that for my home desk and just the ability of having a massive display at my disposal on the go makes that price tag look no brainer.

Honestly I'm shocked it's only $3500

Have you purchased a headset before? If so, what has been your experience, if not, why not?
