    I don’t see why not, but you probably wouldn’t want to because the battery is a perfect counterweight, making it much more comfortable.

      Do you wear a counterweight with your sunglasses? No one complains about the lack of counterweight on a Bigscreen. In fact everyone seems to agree it’s the most comfortable headset ever.

        It doesn’t have inside-out tracking. You can’t have both.

            Inside out tracking requires an array of cameras and a processor as well as a way to cool it.

              Inside out tracking requires an array of cameras

              The cameras are the size of a pea

              and a processor as well as a way to cool it.

              Where’s the processor in the Bigscreen Beyond? 🤔

                Nonexistant because it doesn’t have inside-out tracking…

                the cameras themselves are not the problem, it’s all the processing and cooling required to make that work along with the processing for passthrough and many other things. I doubt this headset would be much lighter if it was not standalone and still had inside out tracking.

                  It is existent. It still has outside in tracking, which is processed…on the computer. There’s no reason inside out can’t be processed the same way.

                    It would need a massive amount of throughput and latency, try a usb webcam and notice how shit it is, same problem.
