Personally I don’t think any of those things will take off without AR. I would never go into VR, for a multi monitor experience. No company will require their employees to work in VR. The only way I can see it happening is with AR.

Just like the article says, what would you do in VR? Amazon shopping-no, banking-no, stocks-no, calendar-no, booking flights-no, looking something up-no. These are the most popular things to do. It isn’t worth putting on headset to do everyday tasks.

That’s true, could be good for connecting to family. For the record, I own an Oculus and never use it. PlayStation is about 4 billion a year in sales and iPhone is about 150 billion a year. To be “the next big thing” you have to be at iPhone usership, personally I think it will only reach around Playstation user ship. But neither of us are right or wrong, that’s what futurology is all about.

Depends on your definition of “Take off”. I could see VR been as popular as say Sony PlayStation. But it will never be an iPhone. AR one day can be an iPhone.
VR will never take off with parents, and no there isn’t any time for gaming, I can only watchTV or go on my phone but I can’t commit to gaming.

AR will take off in about a decade. VR will be for kids and gamers. Normal adults don’t have time for that. For example if I’m using Facebook, I’m also looking after kids and cooking dinner etc aka multitasking. If I had to amerce myself, I wouldn’t use it.

Let’s say we want to meet up at a coffee shop, or anywhere in the universe. You always need 4 “coordinates”. X, Y, Z and a Time. That’s why believe time is a real thing, not a man made concept as some suggest.
