I love my quest but I don't have the space in my house to safely play the more energetic games and it can't be used outside. I would love to see a headset that can cope with being used in the sun.

The lack of outside usage is annoying. Though I just picked up a Kat C2, a VR treadmill. It’s been fun!

The biggest problem is the lenses work perfectly in reverse, transforming the parallel rays of light from the sun into a single spot on the LCD screen, literally burning it.

Until we get a different display technology, outside usage is probably going to remain extremely limited.
