More go for a run in the rainforest, walk down the street and see people in the latest virtual fashion, sit in your empty room and see it as opulent luxury, etc. Im inclined to think we are over a decade or two away from that (at least to the extent that the lines of reality would be truly blurred), but I understand thats what Magic Leap is hyped to deliver.

That sounds incredibly sad.
Looking at how so many people use social media, it also sounds like it may be incredibly accurate. And that makes things even sadder.

None of which will really work without direct neural interfacing. And we're probably three or four decades away from that.
Glasses and screens are always going to feel clumsy for AR/MR. The technology would need to shrink/improve by at least one and preferably two orders of magnitude to become unobtrusive, and that's going to be extremely difficult to do.
