   So I'm catching up on the WWDC thing and... what the fuck is this headset thing.

     @GeoffWozniak It's an iPad Pro you can strap to your face, basically.

     @antijingoist @GeoffWozniak @thegibson I mean, it’s technically VR in design, but they spent most of the keynote positioning it as a Mixed-Reality device.

     The bigscreen headset is just VR. It’s also a SteamVR headset, which means more accurate tracking and less occlusion issues than the Apple headset. At the cost of some convenience.

     @maddiefuzz @antijingoist @GeoffWozniak @thegibson the Apple FacePad looks funny but its pretty much up there with what we can do at the moment. Could have made it smaller but the specs they went for call for this size.
     
     Not sure how I feel about the external eye screen, feels a bit creepy.
