All of these are ones that were announced a while ago, but I'm interested in their development.
The Sulon was the
first headset I ever tried, and I love the idea of a headset that can switch between AR and VR on the fly. Even though it was about 2 years ago that I tried it, the experience that they put together was compelling. I was in a room and got to experience both VR and an AR, and it switched ebwteen them seamlessly.

Same with the VRVANA Totem. It has stereo passthrough cameras and should, in theory, be able to do both AR and VR. I think that both of these companies are probably hung up on finding meaningful ways for people to interact with their environments. The Vive controllers and the Oculus touch controllers put them at a big advantage over companies who have only been working on headsets. The VRVANA team hasn't posted anything on their blog since May, but I'm hoping to hear from them soon. =)

The StarVR team also hasn't posted anything since May - weird. Anyway, the StarVR promises a HUGE field of vision - 210° horizontally, 130° vertical. They have apparently teamed up with IMAX, so maybe their silence is because they are working on headsets for theaters or something. It would be neat to have a super-premium headset experience that you had to go out for, like the Void.

Anyone else have some different headsets they are looking forward to?
