   I also believe that it will be quite some time before people
   wear the current brand of VR tech for any more than
   experimental or games purposes. The current gear is just too
   cumbersome. If you could get it down to a small head-up display
   about the size of a pair of glasses then it might gain
   acceptance.

I'm still dubious.  Look around you during your working day: how much of
what you do relies on face-to-face interaction?  How willing would you be to
take off and put on glasses every time you needed to talk to someone?

Let me explain where I'm coming from.  I'm really a collaborative-work
specialist.  As such, I believe that the vast majority of tasks involve
interaction.  VR will eventually be the ultimate medium for cooperative
work, but as long as I have to put physical equipment between myself and my
partners I may be hindering my task rather than helping it.
