A reality check for virtual headsets

What about pocketable computers? They have been envisioned decades before they became possible and then usable. It wouldn't have served any purpose to have designated an expiry data on the whole idea back in seventies.

VR may take 4 year or 40 years to mature, or it may never take off at all, it's not something we can judge either way.

I think that's a good comparison. The difference between the first portable computers and what we have today is massive. If AR/VR technologies evolve that way then what we'll have 30 years from now will be almost totally unrecognizable. It may not even involve a headset, or even glasses.
