it should be pretty powerful the demo that they used here today was Battlefield but okay okay what the what what is this thing for a while now people have been doing really ghetto ass cluggy solutions for being able to run like a desktop rig off of their back or even a laptop with like a chopped up backpack back or something so that they could play VR with the rig mounted on their back this helps in a lot of ways it makes it so that you're more mobile and it also makes it so that the cable isn't a problem which is really annoying if you want to be moving around for your VR experience this
