I'm currently seeing it like the introduction of the ipad. At first I was snarky about "what is this even for? It's way too expensive. Why would anyone use one? It's just a big phone" And they were mainly bought by people with disposable income.

Where as nowadays tablets have become a staple and it's very common to own one, and often not own a computer. I ate my words.

So at the moment there's a few players in the VR/AR landscape, maybe something big will come of it, maybe it won't. But I think it's too early to tell

I was so skeptical about the iPad, I really didn't understand the audience when it was introduced. I could do everything on my iPhone already anyway, it's just bigger and not a phone.

Little did I know that the iPad would slowly take away my time spent on my iPhone. So now I have a $1000 iPhone that I don't use that much (except when not at home), and I have an additional $750 iPad I spend 4+ hours / day on.

Not sure what happened, but I couldn't go back to just my iPhone anymore.
