Leap 2 is $3300, Hololens is $3500+. High-end commercial VR is easily over $5K.

The Oculus/Meta Quest Pro began at $1500, since discounted. This bought exactly the same processor as the Quest 2, but upgraded cameras and lenses. And this CPU is an old, low-grade Qualcomm device.
Reality is rumored to sport an exotic two-chip solution with an M-series CPU combined with a dedicated ISP chip to wrangle all the camera feeds. Possibly on the (very expensive) 3nm node. The 4K x 4K miniature OLED displays purportedly cost on the order of $300 wholesale – each. The headset needs two of them.
Does this add up to $3K? Certainly not. But such specs are far beyond anything in the consumer space, and even much of the commercial space too.
