22,780 yen, so $228 for a non-VR headset for switch. Looks like it works with some phones also?

You could litterally get this setup today by buying one of those garbage movie viewing HMD's that have been around for years and one of those small Switch TV adapters, there is nothing unique about this product from what i can tell and it might litterally just be unused tech from a couple of years ago.

Honestly I've been looking for a way to play games/watch things while laying flat on my back while looking at the ceiling.

How is the resolution higher than the portable screen itself?

I want wireless sunglasses that project the switch right into my eyes.

From the publicity photo it seems it also includes a blowjob or something

As someone who owns one of those Kacosata USB C converters, it frequently disconnects from my Samsung S8 and very nearly bricked my Nintendo Switch (a shit ton of visual artefacts and audio issues).

If that is part of this package, it should be avoided like the plague.

You do know about the Dock right? It runs games at higher resolutions of up to 1080p max right?

But the thing is that the effective resolution of the headset is 1280x800 while the Switch screen is 1280x720, there is no resolution advantage outside of the feed being downsampled because the Switch thinks it's running in docked mode.

I'm even more curious if it's 1280x800 for each eye or 640x800 for each eye.
