I feel like we're about 3 generations from "shut up and take my money." A no-brainer version would:
- Allow AR, or at least not block my full field-of-view, so I can use them in contexts.
- Have competitive resolution with my normal monitor. 1080p, as these are, seems like an MVP, but 4k is where I'd start to really use these.
- Sci-fi: Support some kind of wireless protocol. A cable running down my shirt feels awkward. It's fine if I need a cable for 30fps movies, but for emails/coding/etc., I'm happy with much less refresh.
- Less plastic. More metal (or carbon fiber or whatever).
- Price point of $200 makes these a no-brainer shut-up-and-take my money. $400, I'd probably buy. $600, I'd probably /almost/ buy, but wait for used on eBay. $1000 is a no-buy.
