It always amazes me how long it takes for a simple idea to get to market, this notion was devised from what I remember back in late 80`s early 90`s.
Where`s Tomorrows World and where`s my personal robot they said we`d all have by 2000?

I did seriously look at building one of those back in the late 80's. But couldn't afford to buy the basic hardware needed.

Funnily enough I was going to do a crude version in the early 90`s by using a Radio Hat and a Pocket TV, but I was always looking at trying to get the optic fibre necessary to display the image (at least with the design I had). In the end TV`s went digital and my old analogue Pocket TV became useless Would`ve come in handy when I worked nights back then, always missing the football.

I was into experimenting with heads up displays (amongst many other things) at that time. Some successful, some too expensive to continue with.

You were way ahead of me. Back then I was more into Sport, Drinking, and generally getting into trouble tech was the furthest from my mind.

LOL. I was very much into drinking too. Where do you think I got my ideas from ?

Sure do. Once I got very paranoid, the other 5 times I got very happy. So no way I could think up good ideas in those states. (or if I did, I must have forget 'em)
