Scientist: Sir, you need to wear a full body suit to go in there.
Mark: Nah, t-shirt and hoodie work just as well.

Why do they need such a clean room? I get that some dust control is needed for assembly of cameras, but isn't this overkill?

They are making VR there or trying to create a Black Hole?

Might need the clean room for assembling the optics. Kinda wish they had done that with my laptop. There's a speck of dust between the screen and front glass right where the file explorer button is, bothers the crap outta me. Can you imagine how much it would bother you if there was a bit of dust you couldn't clear between the lenses of your rift?

Cats_paw, they dont need to create a black hole.. they ARE the black hole(s)

You must be right, but it just seemed like overkill. I guess you need to overshoot the mark, a bit, if you want to be sure.

Speaking of Mark, I wonder how long it took them to clean up, after his visit.

yeah, It looks like he's just looking in through a window and the guys in the background are just in the prep area with their full suits for the camera. The guy on the right seems the most un-at-ease with the situation.
