I honestly disagree when it comes to AR. People are hooked to their phones 24/7. Imagine not needing to touch your device at all but it's just there in your view the instant you want it.

Take a look at this

That's precisely the issue. I'm sure I would enjoy putting AR glasses on and off for specific activities but a permanent projection and stimulation may melt down my brain :) check out this anecdotal concept

My buddy has Nreals. They're unreal. I hooked my Steam Deck up to them, and it was a blast.

It fine saying that people want this technology, and the technology may be cool, but the last 30 years tells us that almost every endeavour in this field is a resounding failure.... Google Glass being a casing point, which is often conveniently overlooked.

Google glass wasnt an AR headset just a pair of glasses with a heads up display attached at the upper corner of the right eyepiece. I see what your saying as far as the failures but even 10 years ago we were not close to the tech we have now to make an actual usable product like the one I linked above.
