VR headsets can be bulky beings with some of them going up to 900 grams in weight<\/a> \u2014 that\u2019s more than some motorcycle helmets. Earlier this month, a German man even broke his neck playing a VR game<\/a>, and while a heavy headset wasn\u2019t directly blamed, that sort of weight on one\u2019s noggin likely was at fault in his injury.<\/p>\n

Motorola has a new solution to take some weight off your head: the company has developed a 5G smartphone that you could wear around your neck, which will host all the processing hardware needed to power an XR<\/a> headset.<\/p>\n

This is a departure from how we\u2019ve connected XR headsets with power units so far. Either we\u2019ve tethered them to powerful PCs, created funny-looking solutions like a backpack<\/a>, or more recently, used USB cables to connect them to smartphones<\/a>. The new solution aims to remove all the mobility and connectivity we faced with these older options.<\/span><\/p>\n
