I've never tried VR or AR, but I'm confident that in 50 years we will spend most of our waking hours having an image projected onto our retina from a pair of glasses or contact lenses.
People now spend an hour or more each day commuting to work because face-to-face communication is so much more efficient than via the internet. But that advantage will slowly erode as VR/AR improves. Eventually most people will work remotely, and this will have huge consequences: People will no longer need to live in an expensive city; companies will be able to hire workers without regard to international borders.
