Wonder what the reasoning is on putting virtual and augmented reality on strong and weak sides respectively. I guess virtual reality inspired more new hardware in the 2016 boom, but maybe just because it was easier? VR feels more to me like 3D TV - something the industry would love to create a new generation of products, but doesn't actually improve experiences enough to motivate consumers and culture creators.
