I don't quite understand it when people say that VR won't succedd but AR will. They're two points on a single technological continuum. One will enable the other. If AR does massively take off, all of that tech will benefit VR. Alternatively you can view AR as just a special case of VR, where display of the real world is passed through and where there's more sensing of the real-world environment for use in constructing the virtual parts of the environment. In that sense, VR is just a step towards more general AR; in that case the VR tech benefits AR applications. Why do people insist that it can only be one OR the other? The technology is all converging to the one point. In fact I'd argue it's mostly the same technology. It's irrelevant as to whether it's AR or VR applications that break the technology into the mainstream. Once it's there, both AR and VR will have broken through.
