I don't know about VIO's scales, but mine show my Cybermaxx weighing about 14oz...sounds like VIO's scales are 'weighted' towards their own products a bit! ...or prehaps you're including the weight of the powerpak and other things that aren't worn on your head? : The total weight of Virtual i-glasses! is 6oz lighter, or 35% less. : The less front-heavy weight distribution, makes Virtual i-glasses! : even more comfortable. Less front heavy for the PC version anyway. I think your design with the tracker in the back is nicer. Overall the VIO device is very nice, but I chose the better immersiveness of the Cybermaxx instead. ...flame deleted... Kermit Woodall --
