    I guess they had to call it a "spatial computer" in an 
    attempt to overcome the shock that they want $3,500 for 
    a VR headset 
With "computer" I think they're trying to emphasize the fact that it's standalone, not an add-on?

That may seem silly, but I have not paid much attention to VR/AR and I had assumed that headsets like the Meta Quest 2 were tethered to some other device. A quick search before this post showed me that is not the case, but I was actually ignorant about that fact. So apparently there are dopes like me who need to be told that these flagship headsets are standalone computing devices.

I'm still confused about this: which headsets are standalone and which aren't...marketing seems to gloss over this detail every time.
