I own a HTC vive pro. I showed it to my family and friends.

No one was ever motivated enough to come back and play with it more.

AR will also not become 'big' it will be a niche thing for certain jobs.

ML I remember the school sport indoor area with a whale flying around.

Yeah let's see how the future will look like. I don't think this will ever be the big thint

I disagree. AR will become big since as we progress VR we'll do as we do with computers. Make smaller versions (like all these mini computers posts on HN) to carry with us, but with VR that is not quite possible since we would to stick cameras on the front of the lenses.

You never see movies with people walking around with big VR headsets, they walk around with AR glasses and that would most probably be in the distant future.

For what?

I got lasik to get rid of my glasses.

There is nothing I'm currently missing. I'm contrary I'm actually trying to do less with my phone.

I don't think people wanna sit in public transport wearing a gadget. I don't think anyone really wanna sit in a coffee place while wearing ar glasses.

What do you think people would like to do with ar?

There will be stupid games, with prizes, and in a TikTok + Pokémon Go like event society will fad on it for a few weeks.

Beyond that, AR has significant applications in technical fields simply as an in-field reference and augmented system state visualizer.

Yeah I'm not disputing that ar will be used by a project managerin on a big construction side were a digital twin exists.

But I don't think we will see them 'normal' in our daily life's.
