  The biggest problem I see is that there is no control scheme available for now to match that. Even if the glasses delivered 100% on that promise, you'd still have to use a mouse and keyboard to play Total War or Sim City in any reasonable way. Not to mention, the vast majority of games try to pull you into their world, and make it seem large or even unending. AR directly works against both goals: you are integrating the game into familiar surroundings, and the game space becomes severely limited. Sure, there is some space for things like Pokemon Go or other "bring the magic/tech/? into your daily life", but this is a very limited setting. From this point of view, I believe gaming with AR is never going to take off (though there could well be space for a handful of extremely popular games, like Minecraft or Pokemon Go), and VR is far more promising in this space. I also think that neither VR nor AR will make any serious impact unless and until some new control scheme is invented that can actually feel different than sitting in front of a screen (but with the screen hanging from your head).

    Have you tried Oculus type controllers? They pretty excellent in that it gives you full 3D manipulation and scales well from broad strokes to detail work.
