I can see curren-gen VR and AR games leading to next-gen "real AR" glasses with an impact on far more than just gaming.

Most VR/AR development activity I've seen seems to be about (industrial) training.

Where it would be most definitely not a toy after a few iterations.

I see AR as having an enormous future impact, games only a small fraction of that. We jumped at the chance to escape reality into our phones, but AR is far more seductive. VR limits your mobility, but AR can be used every waking hour.

I see it starting with small tweaks to reality...a dingy concrete sidewalk replaced with a golden brick road. Empty walls in an apartment awash with art, scenic views, and/or entertainment.

I look forward to my golden brick road speckled with syringes and human feces.
