    They just need to keep getting smaller, cheaper, and continue improving the display/optics. Quest 3 was lighter but not light enough. I think the Steam Frame is listed as lighter. Thing is they’re both neither super high res nor do they have incredible OLED/micro-LED displays. The upcoming Pico headset that was announced would certainly be too expensive and probably still not light enough. Someday though

      When you can get 480hz and high quality optics you can get rid of the nausea problem from your brain seeing not matching up with what your balance feels. You’ll also need wireless power and wireless high bandwidth low latency video streaming, then you can have a fairly light set of large glasses that aren’t sweaty. That’s all achievable fairly soon, within two decades maybe.

        Sure, if there’s: (a) investment in it, and (b) engineering and research behind it.

        The person in the article is doubting that there will be A, and the way things are trending in America I doubt B will occur here.

        Political stability isn’t just a “nice to have” it’s “table stakes” as the suits are fond of saying. People are not going to achieve much advanced research in a country that is actively collapsing.

        But who knows? Maybe China will crack it.
