Pros
Pro Projection reality

Pro Reduced nausea in VR mode
The quick response time (8.3ms) and 120Hz refresh rate combined with accurate tracking (to 0.07mm) make for a much less nauseating experience than some other VR solutions. Nausea is at least in part caused by a delay between physical movement and interpreted movement (your body has calibrated itself to a very specific delay from when you move your head to when your view is different. VR has some delay, which extends this delay and confuses the brain).
Pro Worn on the ear
Because it is worn on the ear, you can wear the Vusix on top of your prescription glasses, or even wear it without any glasses. This gives it the flexibility to be worn by anybody, in virtually any circumstance.
Pro Android app compatability
Cons
Con Not available yet
