The author seemed to have no trouble wearing it for so long, but I think it would be incredibly uncomfortable after a short while for the majority of users. Wearing my super-light eyeglasses all day every day is eventually uncomfortable for me. I looove taking my glasses off before bed, it’s such a relief, so I can’t imagine adding all that extra weight when I’ve got two perfectly functional monitors in front of me.
And I’m totally in favor of AR/VR/MR or whatever, it just has to be insanely light and comfortable if I’m expected to wear it for more than 30 minutes at a time.
While you’re not wrong overall, eyeglasses do specifically put weight on the bridge of your nose, which sucks. Properly fitted, the weight of a headset should be carried by your forehead, the base of your skull, and other broader and more robust bones.
Sony pretty much nailed it on their first try with PSVR.
