No one in his or her right mind is going to wear something that
diminishes the sexual attraction of his or her face in a public place.
Whatever you may think of social media, in public it is the
opportunity for sexual encounters that "informs" (as seems to be
fashinable to say today - and following fashion itself is an act
towards sexual attractiveness, successful or otherwise) the behaviour
of the majority. Good luck investing in and selling something the
majority is not interested in, at least in the technology sphere.
So, I don't think any form of face gear is likely to win the race for
3-D visual peripherals.
Disclaimer: I only have sight in my left eye and a slightly unsightly
prosthesis for ny right eye, which I cannot afford to replace. It
makes me a bit sensitive about vision enhancements, possibly
negatively so.
Lucio.
