if all AR ever did was give me 3 virtual monitors on my desk it would be worth it. No more need to buy monitors. Can display them even at the coffee shop. that alone would be worth the price of admission IMO. same at home. no need for 60inch TV or multiple TVs per room when AR can just display a tv of any size in any room
but of course thats not the limit. AR includes input. whether it's some breakthrough camera tech that can track my fingers or a glove or rings bring able to manipulate objects in 3D with my hands is a 3x to 20x boost in production speed for 3d design including objects, architecture, movie and game assets, etc. That in itself is low hanging fruit and could open 3d design to so many more people than the months of blender/Maya/3dsmax training currently required.
assuming input works pen tablets are no longer needed. want to draw in 2d, project a piece of paper on the surface in front of you and a pen in your hand and you start drawing. any child growing up with such tech would probably never use paper.
that again is practically low hanging fruit.
there lots more ARish ideas. car navigation that paints on the road (though I guess I don't need that for self driving cars). look down a road see what's in every store
I'm sure there are tons of applications we haven't even thought of but any of the above would be enough for me
