    It would take years to get approvals to get these in cockpits and this would be overkill in that environment.  What does a pilot need to help her fly a plane?  She doesn't need a virtual human-looking sidekick responding to voice commands.  I expect that, just like with the iPad, adoption by pilots will trail rather than lead consumer adoption.
    You must have missed Apple's AR presentation during the iPhone event. The idea is to have symbolic nav aids and data appear superimposed over the landscape (or lack of it, if it's at night). A goggle-like apparatus would be good for this.

    If VR follows every other form of graphic systems ranging from photography to video it will only truly take off when the porn industry put their money behind it.


    and undoubtedly everyone will talk about how Alexa puts out more than Siri for less /s.

    You do realize that the aviation industry was an early iPad adopter

    Civil aviation doesn't need this. Military aviation is beyond that with helmet/airframe integrated systems. More to the point, this needs a couple of more revs before it's a viable consumer product, and that's not a given that it will be.

    That small wearable computer has the power of a MBP?

    I'm not sure what this response means, but I agree with the original poster, eye tracking is not common in HMDs
    You mean not common on consumer HMDs. Right ?
