The expensive components include 4K micro-OLED displays, two M2-based processors, the headset casing, 12 optical cameras for hand movement tracking, and the external power supply. Sony, TSMC, Everwin Precision, Cowell, and Goretek are the suppliers providing these components. The headset's high price is expected to be around $3,000.
