Yes exactly like that. But higher rez and lower price.

I think a product like this has a pretty sharp cut-off price point.
My family would need 5 of them. And I could argue that $1500, or $300 a
pop, is worth it. But at a higher price that gets multiplied by 5 it
gets to be expensive pretty soon.
The problem is that the whole family would need to have a pair, for it
to have any use. Even if I could afford 4 at a higher price, one of us
could still not watch tv, or use the computer.
So glasses like that are essentially worthless if they are not dirt
cheap. But if they where dirt cheap they would probably sell like hot
bread. A pair of glasses like that together with a mobile phone and you
would have teens chatting endlessly.
I just don't understand whit it isn't possible to get the price down.
