why? AR has always been superior to VR in terms of technology. i had hopes googles and later microsofts demo a few years back would take off but the tech just couldn't find a niche market to hold onto and its just taken a backseat because it isn't as gimmicky and easy to market to a ready-to-burn-money demography as VR (gaming). AR has actual real-life every-day application. as long as Apple does it well, competitors will follow, and as they do, we'll actually be able to use it one day.

But you're going to get a lot of people who don't want to be around Glassholes as all AR includes a camera.
