maybe we are going about everything wrong, a display over one eye is really 
cool, but its also really expensive for a decent one, thats not gonna do 
permanent brain damage when we get caught in the rain and realise our water 
proofing skills are not quite as good as our soldering skills were on the HV 
parts of the CRT...how about setting up our wearables as real time 
listeners, which have a name, and communicates back and forth with us via 
sound, instead of display units. its not as quick or as easy to set up, and 
maybe navigating is more of a pain, but not many of us will ever go on the 
web with our wearables, atleast not in the most graphical sense. true, 
current AI software and voice recognition could use...umm...work lets say. 
And integrating a system which combines voice synthesis and AI and email 
retreival and calculation and cyborg sensor monitoring into one working 
system would be a pain, there is not doubt about that. But, just like the 
garage VR guys, arent we the people who find a way to do things, even if 
they seem crazy and impossible? The ingenuity of someone working in his 
basement can still be the inspiration for things which change the world. 
Dreamers make dreams come true, and I dream of someday not forgetting phone 
numbers, and not having to write them down, rather, my cyborg friend, using 
its AI, remembered it for me, because I had soemthing better to do, rebuild 
the sensor interface for it :P
