I love seeing these AR apps, but being able to integrate with some kind of lightweight head mounted display will make them vastly more interesting. Anybody know what the state of the art on those things are yet?

AR has been done for ages with head mounted displays (lightweight is mostly a factor of time+money the AR rigs or 80's were not light but the ones from 2000's are)

if anyone out there is building this, we would love to extend our api recommendations to you -- contact me if interested (jared@graffitigeo.com)
