Yeah, good thermal design is a priority for us, since without it long compute sessions won't be comfortable.

- Most of the components in the front of our headset are low-power.

- Our detachable compute unit is in the back of the headset, with airflow going away from your head, so heat there shouldn't be too noticeable. (Contrast with the Quest, which, e.g. has everything in the front of the headset).

- We are looking into active cooling for the front part of our headset regardless, in order to sustain long sessions and prevent facial sweat due to low circulation.

I am genuinely happy to hear that. I'm definitely considering jumping on the Kickstarter.
