Improperly designed, that's probably Google Glass' problem and it's sure as hell Oculus Rift's problem: Research firm: Wearable tech devices are being designed improperly
Maybe eMagin is just being prudent on their slow march to a quality design but hurry up anyway this is getting tedious.

Head Mounted Display Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2019
Increased penetration of HMDs in the consumer market coupled with declining prices of components such as microdisplays is expected to fuel market growth over the next few years. Microdisplays are one of the key embedded components in every NTE (Near-To-Eye) devices that are coupled with an optic system for providing enlarged, high quality image in front of wearer's eye.

Google Glass and What Has Gone Wrong: You get one guess
It is also a fact that screen brightness is most often much too low in the majority of situations
The actual glass which sends an image into a person’s eye scratchs so easily that it is really not even worth taking it out of its case.

I thought this must be from The Onion's Special Head Mounted Display Issue: Norwegian Battle-Lab Drive M-113 Via Oculus Rift Augmented Reality Goggles
This concept shows great promise. [although] We found the goggles to lack the screen resolution to see well at a distance, [the goggles] can also cause a certain degree of dizziness for the vehicle operator, but overall we believe these issues can be improved fairly quickly” Major Ola Petter Odden, of the Army’s Combat Lab told TU. “The Battle Lab believes the system can be operational in as little as five years.” Odden said that within two or three years such an application could ruggedize and mature for military qualification and get ready for within real traffic.

So Sony Supplies the People's Liberation Army Maritime Strike Force with HMDs for flight training eh? (maybe eMagin can work that into the advertising copy when the new digital HMD hits the street)
you have destroyers patrolling the waters around the Senkaku Islands don't you Japan? Sony is a bunch of traitorous money grubbing bastards.

Tapping Your Inner Robot : And Forktrucks!
Already, there's evidence from a Columbia University study that augmented reality glasses can save time and energy for maintenance workers. And in February, the U.S. Navy invested in AR glasses technology to speed up training. Augmate, meanwhile, says it is working on prototypes with a retailer, an automaker and a pharmaceutical company, "the largest companies in those industries," and plans to launch pilot programs later this year. "There's going to be rapid evolution of this technology," Austin says. "In my mind, this is giving workers a fighting chance."

The Nonsensical Reporting Continues:Oculus allows Granny to take her last walk, anybody can tour Jerry Seinfeld's Apartment, interact with fake friends with your avatar on Facebook and believe it or not revolutionize the Battlefield
“Oculus is about interacting with potentially the real world but in a virtual setting. You’re walking through the real world. You’re not going to walk around with Oculus on, or you’ll walk into a wall.”

I agree with your general assumption but as to the sales potential of Golden-I or Kopin LCD Displays
- Wearable Technology is becoming generally accepted by analysts as the next growth area in tech and is already attracting vast amounts of capital from investors. In particular, devices with a head worn form factor are expected to see explosive growth over the next five years.

The Oculus Rift Propaganda Machine Rolls On: So the "best minds" in HMD Design "Luckey, Carmack et al", creators of the Oculus Rift are all under one roof at Facepalm
and someday they will come up with something smaller, lighter, more comfortable, less obtrusive than the Oculus Grift even though there are many examples of HMDs that already are all of those things. I'm telling ya the ignorance about this sector is staggering and I also predict when Facebook comes out with an HMD that's a copy of the Zeiss Cinemizer all the morons in Tech World will scream "Genius!", "Nobel Prize!" "Palmer Luckey is a Demi-God!".
"The ability of the technology to get smaller, cheaper, more comfortable and less obtrusive is unlimited where your timeline stretches across multiple decades, especially now that the best minds in virtual reality and wearable displays are collected in one company with the full backing and support of Facebook."

Daryl Dieno is not a fan of Google Glass or this may be a Plant by the OLED Microdisplay Association of Bellevue Washington "Higher Brightness, Greater Contrast, Longer Battery Life Coming to a Face Near You"
take #4 for example:
"The Google Glass may display an image in your eye, but it looks like the image from one of those iPaq Pocket PC handhelds from ten years ago. Google could have at least included a 720p HD display, but chose the cheaper route."

Research and Markets: Global Microdisplays Market 2014-2018 with AU Optronics, eMagin Corp, Kopin Corp. & Universal Display Corp. Dominating
What eMagin investor cannot relate to the last paragraph?:
And Yuval take a look at the synopsis of this report
Why have two types of HMDs: those with OLED micro-displays and those with flat-panel displays?: Yuval continues to grind this axe down to the handle
the large panel display for HMD vs microdisplays, immersion vs resolution, lower cost vs higher cost etc. and arrives at the conclusion that:
"Ultimately, there would be many more HMDs that are based on flat-panels, but there are unique professional applications that would continue to prefer OLED micro-displays."

Oculus and Google Glass other then being head worn displays they have something else in common
Two companies now have seized on Glass's Battery problem with their own "solutions". Speaking of Elvis first to market was Glass Sideburn.
"I'm caught in a trap, I can't hold on because I love you too much baby..."
Neat huh? Now as Russians seem to always be on the ground floor if these "solutions" like the Two Crazy "Virtusphere" Russians were first with a knockoff of Oculus here we go with another Google Glass Battery "Fix" because "2 hours of usage of such a great device is not enough."
