I couldn't agree with you more. I love VR as a concept, but the giant headsets are just unusable. Hence, I research this frequently and someone appears to finally have realised this:

Linus Tech Tips did a review of it, so it's real. I have high hopes.

The caveat being that the Bigscreen requires a wired tether to a PC and external Lighthouse tracking beacons, so you trade the clunkiness of strapping a computer to your face for the clunkiness of only being able to use it in a designated VR room. It's more comfortable for sure, but it's not for everyone.

It’s not for eeeeeeeeeeeevryone. But, it’s really damned good. And, micro display tech is making huge leaps again this year in both resolution and brightness. Whatever the 2025 equivalent of the Bigscreen Beyond is, it’s gonna rock.
