Similar specs and price as XR-4 from https://varjo.com Wipes the floor with Oculus and others, but IMHO 90Hz refresh rate not enough for truly immersive VR/AR experience.

Once the initial fascination wears out, you are not going to use it as replacement for the big screen. VR/AR needs improve technically and find killer apps and must-have games.

Since that website uses the aggressively stupid "talk to sales" tactic, the "find a retailer" link a the bottom is more informative: https://www.adorama.com/vr0017500.html ($3990) or the platinum plated version at $9990 https://www.adorama.com/vr0017400.html both of which are "on backorder until March 2024"

I got a dystopian chuckle out of "Varjo XR-3 Headset with Perpetual Offline License" for $10990 (but free shipping!!1) https://www.adorama.com/vrjvr3d.html so maybe the $3990 XR-4 is just the hardware, and it's another $X for the license to use it
