I’m afraid of the price… this looks much more capable and powerful than the Index, which was quite expensive, I suspect it might end up in a similar price range, if not higher. But let’s hope.

Interestingly, it seems to be using a snapdragon ARM-based unit. Which means it requires another layer of emulation/translation for running Steam games standalone. It’s said it uses FEX (https://fex-emu.com/), probably combined/integrated with Proton.

Do you typically have a cable tethered to your sunglasses?

I personally would prefer the small counterweight instead of the cable, specially if it helps securing the glasses while I move around.

According to LTT, the section containing the computer just weights under 190 grams (that’s about the weight of an average medium-sized apple).

The battery is the counterweight… which is actually a good thing to have… I have a fist generation Quest and the main problem with that one was the weight distribution. Adding weight to the back actually made it more bearable. Just by looking at how thin the front part of this one is, I can tell this is gonna be so much more comfortable.

Is the database publicly accessible somewhere? is it limited to an extension or can we simply browse it?

This looks like it could work better if developed in the open / collaboratively. Though from their FAQ it looks like they are still working in some open source platform:

Our wonderful devs are currently working on an open-source website to replace and improve our current and temporary platform.

In the meantime, we will continue to add and verify European brands to the database.
