Great technology, but we both had mild headaches that night from the muscle-strain in the back of our necks - from that small amount of <i>continuous</i> extra effort against the added weight of the headsets/goggles - just to keep looking up at the big screen for that long. 11 I can’t imagine anyone’s going to find it comfortable to wear.
