A new generation of ultra-light virtual reality headsets could be much more comfortable and versatile than current models, experts say.

A rumored Apple VR headset could be lighter than an iPhone. The Apple iPhone 12 weighs 164 grams, compared to 503 grams for the popular Oculus Quest 2 VR setup. A new generation of headsets could significantly reduce the weight, paving the way for more applications.
“You want a VR headset to be light for the same reason you want a traditional headset to be light: comfort,” Jay Wright, CEO of virtual reality software company Campfire, said in an email interview.
“Devices that are too heavy or do not distribute weight properly cause fatigue, pain and frustration during prolonged use.”
