One feature I'd love to see in see-through VR sets is hyperspectral vision. Would be useful to see IR and UV around you.

You're confusing multispectral and hyperspectral. If it was hyper you'd have the ability to slide through at image "cube" where the z axis is wavelength. Would be cool, but current hyperspectral cameras are extremely low resolution because they're just a prism array on top of an off the shelf panchromatic sensor using blocks of pixels to form that z axis.
