I think glasses/goggles are less intrusive than contact lenses. Lenses are irritating and difficult to insert. It's also impossible to share contact lenses. I think VR is already pretty close with the Quest 2, to what it needs to be to get mainstream adoption. A little lighter, a little thinner, maybe 5-10 more years of iterative improvements and we'll be there.

I've been wearing lenses for 15 years and do not think they are difficult to insert or irritating. But it does take some getting used to.

I wore lenses for 4 years and couldn't stand it. So I had them blast laser beams into my eyes in an attempt to fix it, so that I never had to wear lenses again. And it worked!
