    I guess they had to call it a "spatial computer" in an 
    attempt to overcome the shock that they want $3,500 for 
    a VR headset 

With "computer" I think they're trying to emphasize the fact that it's standalone, not an add-on?

That may seem silly, but I have not paid much attention to VR/AR and I had assumed that headsets like the Meta Quest 2 were tethered to some other device. A quick search before this post showed me that is not the case, but I was actually ignorant about that fact. So apparently there are dopes like me who need to be told that these flagship headsets are standalone computing devices.
