>Unless getting in and out of VR becomes as easy as putting one and taking off a pair of sunglasses

In my opinion it already is. I have an OQ2 and play whatever the golf simulator is, and a sailboat simulator in it all the time, but it's exactly the type of quick, 2-3 minute sessions that used to be mobile games or tiktok. From lifting my laptop off of my laptop to starting a race in the sailboat game takes less than a minute, and almost all of that is just load times on the game.

(The sailing game is marineverse, btw. Lots of fun when its 115 degrees out in Phoenix and too hot to go on real water)

It's really not if you wear glasses.

I don't, wife does, it's always a production for her.

Get prescription lenses, they’re like $80
But i don’t wear glasses. So getting prescription lenses is just one more thing to deal with for when my wife wants to play beat Sabre.
Buy her a Quest for her birthday, I’m just trying to provide helpful suggestions here. I just use the included spacer and it works fine with my glasses and is quick to change out give that a shot.
Add one more thing to the long list of VR tech hurdles.
