Why are you so hopeful any of these will be fixed in anything like the near future? Phones have been working to reduce weight per FLOPS for more than a decade, and you can only do so much - and you need many more FLOPS for VR. Similarly, the need to keep these screens glued in place relative to your eyes, and to use complex electro-mechanical optics in addition to the screens, put quite a strict limit on how comfortable or small they can physically be. Batteries only add to this, and weight-to-power ratio for batteries is progressing at a snail's pace.
I'd bet that if Apple thought in any way that they might have a sunscreen form-factor device in anything close to 5 years from now they would have held off on releasing anything to the public.
All signs 100% point to bulky headsets being the state-of-the-art for the foreseeable future, and this is going to keep dooming this technology.
Not to mention, the fact that no one has really found a good way to allow you to move around in the VR "space" that they're creating with anything other than a controller (to an extremely disorienting effect even then) also puts a serious damper on our ability to suspend disbelief while enjoying such a device.
