As stated by Road to VR, Meta 2 is a tethered gadget which requires the horsepower of a computer to display everything it can.<ref>http://www.roadtovr.com/meta-2-development-kit-hands-on-could-do-for-augmented-reality-what-oculus-rift-dk1-did-for-virtual-reality/</ref> This could prove to be a huge obsticle to success for the company as other VR leader are pushing for untethered solutions. This version of the Meta is tethered to a computer via a 9-foot cable, either HDMI 1.4b or DisplayPort.
