I would smart glasses, where I can see through to the real world, rather than pass through like the VR devives.

i.e. something like the hololens or spectacles

So basically like the Google glass ukelele demo that never came to pass.

It's getting there though. Vuzix have made really nice flat AR displays for their Blade. They just don't have a clue how to sell them afaik.

The Quest 2 already has passthrough. When you exit your guardian, which is an area you defined as "safe", it will use the external cameras to essentially act as thick glasses.

Not to say that it is some kind of blissful experience, but it works reasonably well to go get a glass of water.

The original Quest has passthrough as well, this is exactly what I don't want

you gain IRL latency for reduced pixels

I don't think it will be that far along in 10 years, or if it will, it will cost $5000 and won't see widespread adoption.

Enjoy your terrible FoV. I'll to take my nonglasses form factor immersive headset instead.

People who wear normal glasses already 'enjoy' a terrible field of view.

You still get peripheral vision when wearing glasses. It doesn't matter much if it's blurry.

It’ll be thin eye covering passthrough goggles, full FoV
