Didn't see anyone else mention this, so putting it here. The battery pack is Apple confessing that they didn't solve the nausea problem. If the battery is on your waist it can be as big as you like. 4 hours. 8 hours. It's two hours because if you use it more than two hours you'll puke, then sue Apple for making you puke.

Note that the device is mostly aimed at people who will use it for work. Work is the context in which people will keep using it long after they're starting to feel sick, because imposter syndrome makes them think they need to go a bit further to "pull their weight". And that's the best case. Some bosses will make employees wear it until they're permanently disabled, because you can replace employees but you can't replace a missed bonus. There will be lawsuits, and Apple's defense is that using the device while it's charging is against their explicit instructions.

I've been looking forward to virtual reality since the 90s. I always assumed the nausea problem was solveable. It's not. The idea is dead.

Heard someone in tech(can’t remember who) saying the low latency in this one apparently is enough to make the motion sickness issue less severe. Not sure if that’s speculation on their part but it makes sense.
