I thought I was going to get v2, but a processor update and a headband aren’t enough. It still seems like it struggling to figure out what it is, and still seems heavy.I think I’m waiting for a design refresh that reduces weight and lowers the price, while also clarifying what problem this actually solves. I think this is what most of the market is waiting for.

> what problem this actually solves.Exactly. Meta also decided to do some changes, from what I understand they cut staff, and have signalled the hardware will live longer between models. They also seem to signal that the next model will prioritise gaming. Which seems the most logical choice for VR/AR.
Spacial computing, just doesn't seem like something that's solving a problem.
