Asus has a VR headset that actually looks good

Let's face it: VR headset are pretty damn clunky. And by clunky, I mean ugly. 

But Asus' new VR headset — which the company positions as a "mixed reality" headset — is actually quite snazzy. It'll still make you look like a dork, but at least you'll be a dork with refined taste.

The device, officially called the Asus Windows Mixed Reality Headset (yeah, it won't win awards for most imaginative name ever), has a patterned front panel that makes it stand out from other designs we've seen. It's also quite smaller on the head than, say, HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, and weighs less than 400 grams. The front panel can easily be flipped up when you want to get out of the virtual world and get back into the real one.
