It is both. Standalone device but also designed to communicate with a PC via a USB dongle. So lower resource games "just work" and you take advantage of your PC (or Steam Machine...) for the heftier stuff. Which is as close to the "norm" as it gets in VR these days (although the facebooks connect over WLAN)

yeah but it means heavier than needed because of what had to be put in capability to run games. I would rather they make a belt holder for the deck and keep the headset as light as possible. Also would prefer something that can be worn with glasses rather than getting special lenses.

I would also like a fanny pack form factor (great for spare batteries too) but it's "just" a snapdragon. The actual chip is likely nothing compared to the displays and battery

It definitely doesn't look glasses friendly but that is also a solved problem these days. Many of the online glasses companies directly sell them and they just push on rather than needing to buy the lenses and print a mount and then remove the old lenses and blah. My ex and I both wear glasses and we never had a problem swapping out on the facebook quest or whatever.

It says that it can accommodate glasses up to 140mm wide.
