You can't move or else the entire damn screen moves

... you move with the screen. Why would you want it to not move with you if its mounted on your shoulder? Again...

Too bad it probably costs a small fortune.

I saw something similar to (and less sophisticated than) this in a video from TED a few years ago

I hope we do something cool with this during my lifetime

Just like the sword, the car and the computer did.
