That was the idea behind HoloLens, and they tried to make it work for a decade, but ultimately that flopped as well. No one wants to fix a machine or a telephone pole or whatever else with a massive headset strapped to their head. These are just pointless scenarios dreamed up by techies who have never done any of those jobs in their life.

If such a headset were to be commercially successful gaming and porn are the only areas that need targeting, but those are also ones that large corporations are least interested in.

Once this headset's form factor shrinks down to sunglass size it will be the next iPhone. Especially with innovators creating apps that enhanced current life experiences like...

- Play real life ping pong, tennis, card games, etc .. glasses keeps & displays score in your view

- Rewind ... how did this building look ten, twenty, 100 years ago

- Who am I talking to at a conference.. their name appears above them

- Lots more and better innovative ideas to come too

    So true. The company that is able to do so will have such an advantage over the competitors it won't even be fair. I sure as hell will be developing apps for such device. Potential is unlimited
