Not sure if the technology will get there, but I can see AR being much more useful. I don’t want to cut myself off from the outside world, but I’d love to be able to put on a pair of glasses that allow me to use a giant monitor without needing an actual monitor. Or a home theater. For me, something as simple (though it’s probably technically complex) as a high resolution screen coupled with AirPods for watching movies would be a killer app. And if I could use those same glasses to work or bs on the internet (on a plane, in a cafe, on a bus), I’d be all in… and I’m willing to bet everyone else would be as well.

I suspect this is what Apple is trying to do.

Glasses will simply never be cool outside of some niche communities. They are a sign of disability and weakness for most people
