Not a very original or clever form factor. At least design it more like the Mira Prism (https://www.mirareality.com/) where the phone position is closer to your head and have a large open FOV. I get that they want to expose the phones back camera for tracking - but use some fancy mirrors or something?

Ultimately this is very google cardboard like and passive so $129 is quite expensive.

I built a fun toy like this in the early 2000’s for $10 using foam board and a $5 sheet of teleprompter glass.

Ultimately anything like this has failed to capture the market because people just don’t want to have their phones out of reach and/or risk their battery using the camera/tracking.
