One thing I feel nobody talks about with regards to AR is that it introduces a new paradigm, a new behavior that is "not normal". It asks you to wear something and walk around all day with information being displayed. That's not a muscle memory we have today. If you think about the most successful companies today, what they have done is that they have taken an existing behavior and make it better. We already shopped at stores and Amazon just made it easier to do it online. We already had friends and Facebook simply made it easier to interact with them. Google helped us search information faster that we were already looking for. Very few companies have introduced a completely new behavior to humans that we weren't already doing. In that sense, I am struggling to think about a behavior that AR and consequently Magic Leap will replace. I can think of B2B applications with oil industry and perhaps surgery. But that' niche. Beyond that, what exactly is it solving for ?
