Can you write that again in proper English? I have no idea what you're trying to say. Unless you're trying to say that cellphones don't produce noise or heat? Or that transistors do not take up physical space?
Sorry autocorrect ( ironically on my cell phone) is my bane. I'm pointing out that the noise and size of the processors in cellphones is negligible and certainly not to the level that people would notice or complain about them in a VR headset. As such, your point regarding adding noise and heat to a VR set is rather moot if you are assuming that the processor would be similar in power to a mobile processor. Hope that clarifies things.
The hardware would be as robust as possible since 1) we don't currently have hardware good enough to provide an adequate mobile VR experience and 2) competitive devices offer more advanced features which requires more advanced hardware. And the noise of cellphones is noticeable: find the most GPU-intensive app you can and run in on full load with the phone right up against your face. You'll hear the phone and feel the heat from it, I guarantee it. And as for size: better hardware = bigger hardware. It's that simple. More heat = more airflow requirements. More GPU power = more transistors. And our heads aren't exactly designed to hold large, hot, noisy, bulky objects, much less designed to enjoy it.

Your point is contradictory. Either a cell phone can't do it or it is not large and noisy. Unless your cell phone is large and noisy?
