On the consumer level, we've had:

- Waldoes since 1989

- Head-tracking since 2004 or so

- 3d displays since 2000

- haptic feedback since 2003

...yet nobody has rolled them all together because there's no interest and no application.

Cadillac started researching head-up displays for cars back in the mid '70s. Mercedes put one in an SLK back in '02. That's the last we saw of them - because it's just not something we need or use.
