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.

A pair of glasses should be a tiny fraction of the weight of the headset though.

I believe glasses weigh around 10-50 grams and the headset is 600 grams

Sure, but you’re comparing apples to oranges. It’s like saying your shoes are super comfortable when we’re talking about how much our knees hurt. 50 grams on your forehead is nothing.

Like I said, the person is right overall, I’m just trying to direct the conversation to the appropriate domain.
