No. I'm not going to put one of those on my fucking head just to use a computer. I'm NOT. I already dislike wearing glasses (and contacts, etc).

To think people are going to do this in mass, it's just stupid thinking.

Edit: Okay drive-by downvoter(s), I get it, The above didn't "add" anything to the discussion. But you know what, this has been discussed and THE MASSES AREN'T GOING TO WEAR THAT SHIT.

So, you dislike wearing glasses, but use them anyway because they provide a value to you. Did I get that correctly? What if a head-mounted display would provide some value to you that you would not get in any other way?
Value? No, they're a medical device that I have to wear.
Isn't "seeing clearly" a value? Point being – even if you don't like the form factor it might give you an ability that you can't have any other way.
Or it might just be some nerdy tech that a very small percent of people in the tech community feel the need to try and convince others that it is the future. It is not.

And no, seeing clearly is not a value. It is a necessity.

Absolutely agree that VR is not mainstream and it is currently positioned as mostly nerdy thing. However, I am not in the business of convincing anybody. If something happens and you will be forced to use it, I am sorry in advance.
