Tell HN: Framework should build a VR headset

[alexfromapex]

The framework laptop (https://frame.work/) is awesome

The same concept, when applied to VR headsets, would help to prevent Facebook or other companies from taking a proprietary hold over VR tech

[d--b]

VR headsets need to be the lightest and smallest as possible. This is somewhat incompatible with the kind of modularity that framework can provide on a laptop.

No it wouldn't. This laptop costs more than twice as much as a retail laptop, and the last thing VR needs is to be even more expensive.

> This laptop costs more than twice as much as a retail laptop

Framework VR headsets aside, this is such a misguided statement.

It does absolutely not cost twice as much as an equivalent laptop.

It's the same argument often used for Apple laptops.

Other people are prepared to pay for things that you are not. When you add those things, price increase.
