Externally, the headset resembles Labo VR, but nowThe base is plastic, not cardboard. The interior is made of foam for greater comfort, and the lenses are already built into the body. Like the previous version, users will have to insert the Switch into a helmet, making Nintendo's VR headset completely portable.
