> Have you every worn literally anything for 2+ hours on your head. Even glasses get uncomfortable after a day
Some of us don't have the luxury of removing glasses after 2 hours, so... Yeah, I've worn something on my face for 16+ hours a day, so I can see.

Exactly! You're making my point, people do not want that unless they're forced to
I wear glasses (big plastic ones even) nearly every waking hour and don't consider them uncomfortable at all. They're fine.
I think there is probably a non trivial gap in terms of how comfortable it is to wear a VR helmet vs a pair of glasses
s/they're forced to/they get value out of it/
People wear things on their face 16 hours a day because they provide value. A portable substitute for a monitor that also supports arbitrary multitasking and immersion is (potentially) valuable.
This. I'm imagining having my triple 27-inch 4K displays on the go with my MacBook while also being compact and fit into my computer bag.
$3500 for that? I'm game. I paid more than that for my home desk and just the ability of having a massive display at my disposal on the go makes that price tag look no brainer.
Honestly I'm shocked it's only $3500
