Yikes. I can’t imagine it without passthrough. You have to take it off to move around at all?

I can't imagine wanting to walk anywhere with massive clownish goggles on, and while tethered to the power box & various peripherals.

Still, a small camera is an odd thing to cut.

Yeah? It's just a display for sitting on the couch or in an airplane, watching videos or viewing a huge virtual desktop. Scrapping the cameras would save a ton on size, BOM, and complexity. Basically a "Pimax Dream Air" formfactor.

I'd love the ability to have AVP immersion with my MBP on a flight, and combined with Airpods, you'd be able to block out everything. I don't need to walk around and wouldn't need to interact through it. It's like transparency for Airpods: an overengineered alternative to just taking an airpod out (or in this case, lifting the headset up).
