This is a problem of energy density as much as anything. There just isn't room to fit all of the electronics (even if you offload the heavy processing) and enough battery to run them for ~6-8 hours in the form factor of traditional eyeglasses. Of course, both component size and battery energy density are getting better all the time, but not at a rate that will allow for the HoloLens product to be shrunk to that degree in less than 5-10 years. That said, I tend to agree that we need to hit that point before we see widespread adoption.Someone needs to make eyeglasses that can do this and link to the computer in your pocket or on your wrist.
