Maybe not for home users but I think for military training, rescue training other such applications those could be viable. I don't see anything wrong with this technology being professional/luxury first then becoming more affordable to regular users.
We had a DK (or maybe DK2, don't remember) as well and yeah we played with it but I ended up not liking it. The resolution was too low, I could see individual pixels and it was like looking through a screen-door. We played with it for a while, ran some demos, everyone had fun. Then put it on a shelf and hadn't touched it since.
