    The battery is on your head, with the rest of the headset. Weight is a concern of the power required, not the available compute. The bigger concern is cost.

      The battery is functioning as a counterweight and is optional.

      cost, absolutely valid though.

          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? 🤔
