Not with the architecture (x86_64) they picked for the Simula One. Unless they're using an extremely heavy battery in the headset it will need to be plugged into an outlet or an external battery pack for continuous use.

I saw the SimulaVR team was active in a previous HN discussion and I asked why they went with x86_64 [1], they really didn't have a good answer for it. I suspect it's either due to a limitation with their team's talent/skillset, which is a good enough reason for their first gen headset, or they don't want anyone taking SimulaOS and running it on Oculus hardware.
