    Especially considering they already put the battery external, if you have to shove a battery in your pocket and run a wire up to your head they might as well have put more of the electronics there too.

    It would conserve a lot of weight and space and make it more comfortable to wear

      Yes, I didn’t see that initially. When they already have it in two parts, the “doesn’t fit marketing” part stops making sense.

      I agree. I thought they were going to do that to create a lighter, less intrusive headset. This just seems like the worst of both worlds. Maybe processing in the pocket became too hot without ventilation. I thought they were going to plug the thing into an iPhone in the pocket and offload power and processing there, but the Vision is very power hungry so I guess they eliminated that early on.
