Totally agree with you here. But my approach to this kind of tech in the next decade is to treat it like another i/o device for my computer.
Like you, I'd never really consider wearing these things in public (or more specifically, in a casual setting when socialising), but I'd definitely consider using them at work/home if I could make them do neat time-saving things that other i/o devices couldn't.
Ultimately, I'm happy to be an early adopter but for me to use them in the public context shown in the video, they'd have to be somehow integrated into something much much smaller. E.g. contact lenses (but that is seriously way off).
Between this, Google Glass and Oculus, we will hopefully see some serious progress in the VR/AR industries.
