Isn't that how the Quest is now? It is for me, pop on the device and get straight into my workout.

The Quest 2 has a few things that prevents me from using it for long sessions.

1. It's way too heavy, which makes it uncomfortable.

2. It gets too hot.

3. It lacks a hinge that would make it possible to easily flip it open, while it's still on your head. Taking it off all the time is annoying.

4. It's been really difficult for me to keep the content I'm viewing looking sharp. It always looks kind of blurry, especially toward the edges.

I think that's the rub; the VR industry is running into a similar issue that the Headphones industry has long dealt with, the reality of different body dimensions. 1 isn't an issue for me thanks to an improved strap, 2 isn't an issue due to, I think, my move to a rubber face wrap, 3 again was fixed with a new strap (though it just comes up onto my forehead rather than tilting), but 4 is the hell that I cannot think of an answer for. I may not have the issue, and maybe that's due to my prescription inserts or maybe it's due to the particular shape to my skull.
