I've always thought AR like the HoloLens sounded much better than the VR headsets. Definitely more practical. I love his description of moving the TV and setting up Twitter and the NCAA site.
I can see how VR would be better for gaming once they get it wirefree. For the average guy, AR could replace TVs and their computer.
Someday soon maybe, most people might just have HoloLens. And I'd still have my iPhone becuase I'm not going to wear HoloLens everywhere all the time. Tough to imagine people needing much else though.
I think VR will thrive most with smartphones. Really puts them to good use and companies get to continue the upgrade cycle with GearVR type technology for a long time.
