I can certainly construct scenarios where magic AR tech could be a breakout product category. Glasses that look approximately like other glasses. No social stigma. Able to automagically project directions, identify people, display information about places/objects. Unobtrusive control through a watch, vocal commands, or other means. Etc.

But that's asking a lot. I'd probably be willing to stipulate it will happen at some point, for at least some use cases (e.g. industrial). But Not sure that 5-ish years will do it.
