I have a Quest 2 that I don't care for, so it's caught me somewhat offguard how much I want this. The whole set please. I thought I'd just want the controller, but everything here looks exciting to me.

any idea on price?

"below the index", according to the UploadVR article linked. So below 1000 USD

People warn to not hold smartphones near the head for too long due to too strong signal strenghts...

Is it not a concern to strap such a powerful defive that receives super strong signals right onto the head for hours??

Cell phones and other mobile devices only transmit non-ionizing radiation (perfectly safe glorified invisible light), and studies have been done regarding this topic, returning inconclusive results. It's most likely perfectly safe.

No.

Saw that the Steam Frame was wireless and lost interest. Wireless is always an extra complication that never improves things. I've learned lots about framing to hardwire my home network. Sure, make it an option, but I won't pay for latency, battery life, battery weight, cost, or pairing issues of wireless solutions. Give me (replaceable, standard) cables anyday!

That said, there is hope, because if there is a wireless version and it takes off, it can't be hard to make a wired version.

It doesn't improve quality and latency, but for VR it absolutely improves not dealing with a cable that you can't see and will tangle yourself up with if you turn either direction more than once

Two notes on how Steam Frame is handling this

- It's a standalone headset, less demanding games run directly on the Steam Frame and the wireless connection doesn't factor in to anything.

- It makes two simultaneous wifi connections, one on 5 ghz for connecting to your wifi network / internet, and another on 6 ghz for connecting to your streaming PC. They include an official 6 ghz USB dongle for the PC so you don't have to deal with finding which 3rd party option will work reliably.

I agree with you for most things, but a VR headset is definitely something where the pros outweigh the cons vis a vis avoiding wires for me.

It's also wired, and you could even take out the battery for the weight.
