I see this a lot, and I'm not sure why people are so confident about it. Lighter, thinner, more durable materials are a huge upsell and focus of ongoing product development in eyeglasses, and that's to save 10 or 20 grams. The lightest VR headsets are still an order of magnitude heavier than eyeglasses. Closing that gap while also addressing the resolution and battery life issues with existing headsets is going to require breakthroughs.

- Eisenstein 4y agoFlying cars aren't a thing not because we can't practically do it, but because it is an absolutely horrifying idea to turn the average driver into a pilot with an aircraft that they are in charge of maintaining. (Or was that your point?)
