I like this idea that there are people who are already so devoted to the metaverse that they're strapping extra batteries to their persons at all times. I was talking to this one world creator who designed a very British pub and he just got his headset a couple of months ago, like in June. And he told me he's already spending up to 40 hours a week wearing his headset on top of his full-time jobJust basically to run his pub and deal with troubleshooting and fixed design issues. Like, yeah, people like this thing that's not staple to their heads, but encircling it very, very snugly.
