Didn't people say the same about Google Glass before it came out? I know, I know - this is very far from Google Glass. But all we have is a really broad concept and some flashy demo videos.

"It's going to change content consumption in a limitless way" doesn't really mean anything. Based on past predictions, the way we consume content is supposed to have been revolutionized about 100 times by now.

Google Glass was a shitty augmented reality device. Magic Leap looks like it could be the real deal, if they can make the hardware unobtrusive enough.

It has been at least once a decade for at least my lifetime (personal computers, internet, mobile)

I predict in 10 years VR/AR will be as boring as smartphones are now.

VR in 10 years, and AR 10 years after that.
