    free to go pee

    That’s solvable with good pass through, I am speaking from experience. It’s kind of surprising how little focus that aspect got, even most modern headsets still lack proper stereo-correct passthrough and instead just fudge something together via tracking cameras (e.g. Pico4 looks like a butchered photogrammetry scan due to having only a single RGB camera).

    With Apple VisionPro that will hopefully change and motivate the rest of the industry to catch up.

    A version of it that looks and feels like glasses would be less of a problem.

    BigScreenBeyond gets pretty close (but no passthrough at all). Some AR headsets like Xreal Air get even closer, though those come with tiny FOV.

      To be fair, with good enough passthrough you can get your pee wherever it needs to be.

      I genuinely can’t believe how quickly you glossed past the mental image of yourself peeing with a headset on. I feel I can rest my case right at that point, honestly.
