Motorola’s solution to bulky VR headsets is a bulky 5G necklace

Say goodbye to the neck pain that comes with playing VR for too long. Motorola, and its parent company Lenovo, teased a 5G neckband that’s meant to offload most of the weight of an AR or VR headset.

Motorola’s lanyard-esque device doesn’t have an official name yet, but it was designed to house most of the necessary components that modern-VR headsets run off of. Since most of the bulk is shifted to the 5G neckband, it was meant to be paired with a much lighter headset that requires a tether, like the Lenovo ThinkReality A3. Motorola also partnered with Verizon so its 5G neckband could run off the company’s 5G Ultra Wideband network.
