Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you're done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.
Setting timers for eggs and pasta isn't one.
If they had just sold a unit that was a virtual desktop display, it could have been a useful product that people wanted to use.
Instead, this bloated useless thing...bleh.
Well boy have I got something for you to look into

Nice vapor-tech.
Normally I would agree, but the company developing the hardware are the guys that make immersed, which is the desktop integration software all the other VR headsets on the market are using. So if anyone is gonna make anything decent, maybe it’ll be them?
It seems good in theory, and comes in at like a quarter of the cost of apple’s monstrosity.
It’s also pretty niche, targeted at professionals who would use it to enhance their workspace than gaming.
