Do you really think that AR and VR will only be "gizmos" forever?

I can think of dozens of real world applications off the top of my head. AR assistance for challenging professional situations (surgery, mechanical repairs, etc), PTSD treatment, AR warfare, gaming, and so much more. And this is with our limited viewpoint in the year 2024.

When headsets (or the evolution of them) are eventually the size of reading glasses and cost very little, this could change the world.

Unfortunately change the world will likely mean zombifying most of the population with social media streams. At least with a phone even the most addicted have to put it down sometimes when they need to use both hands.
