   * The availability in 2021, on the consumer market of standalone (untethered) Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). These new HMDs do not even need to work in a fully controlled environment. They don't need "reference bases" or pattern targets to be placed around.    * The availability in 2021, on the consumer market of standalone (untethered) Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
