Video glasses. They should have taken over by now. The technology is good enough and cheap enough for the entire tech-buying world to be watching movies on simulated 40-inch screens (rather than squinting at their phone’s pitiful 2.4-inch display, pretending we can really see the movie). But we’re not. For well over a decade, Man has outright refused to sport a pair of video glasses, as if He feels a revulsion for oversized electronic eyewear from deep within His DNA. But could times change?

The glasses alone are not enough.
They need to meet or exceed mimimum desirability requirements for today’s computing. They become cost effective when they replace the desk display entirely.
They need to be see through or opaque on demand, and there needs to be an accompanying one handed input device which can mouse and keyboard. Minimum 1024 x 768. 1080p is prefered.
Without an equally impressive single hand input device, the display is a gimmick for video buffs, enabling them to die while crossing the street. The input should support seperate hand mousing when convenient.
With input it is mobile computing, and could the system could incorporate sensors to heighten survivability if desired.
An adept user could interact with the physical with one hand and the virtual with the other, never skipping a beat.
