A true light field projection would be nice. If you look at the background in a 3D movie it's blurry, with a light field it would come in to focus.

This is probably also what makes the projection bulky and why there are optical fibers running up (if it was anything else you could have used a single one). If this delivers what it promises, I wouldn't even mind wearing a light backpack for it.

And they are probably at this stage: https://images.contentful.com/bl73eiperqoo/2309lfO8h64WWYECO... so sure to make it to the form factor, but not pretty yet :)

No, that's where they were [almost three years ago][1]. They [now][2] refer to that early prototype as "The Cheesehead".
