All I want for Christmas is some glasses that give me the equivalent of two or three responsive, stable 32” QHD external monitors and a decent field of view (like >=110 deg.).

I feel like this would be easier for manufacturers to achieve and refine if they weren’t trying to make their glasses do everything else (AR industrial apps, VR gaming, etc). It seems to me that just about every professional would want a pair for plane/train trips at least. While not a market as huge the one dreamed of by offering the holy grail of VR, it’s still a sizable audience.

To me it’s the holy grail of remote work. I can do a lot of my job from just about anywhere, but certain parts really benefit from having sizable external monitors which I’m absolutely not lugging around. Every alternative solution (external 15” screen(s), projectors) are far less than ideal workarounds, despite possessing the advantage of being obtainable.

Those slideout-from-laptop-lid "bolt-on" USB displays are pretty nifty in the meantime.
