I think legitimately there could be a product that you put on your face and get a virtual on-site with photorealistic avatars. Or a pair of glasses that give you multiple 24 inch 4k screens that you could work on all day. And a replacement for Facetime sounds compelling as well, essentially a holographic call where there mom shows up in your living room from the other side of the country.
And yeah the gaming case is already pretty compelling when you look at things like Alyx, so just imagine more of that plus AR games that don't take you out of the real world.
At the end of the day you are talking about a display technology that can produce anything from an animated chess set on your kitchen table to the closest thing I will ever see to a Holodeck in my lifetime. In my mind computing will absolutely make the move from little pieces of glass in our pocket to AR, I just think it's going to take 10 to 20 years for moore law and miniaturization to do their thing.

I've only every toyed with VR and the demos were pretty cool and gaming seems promising, but to my mind, we're already a bit too far into this latest wave of VR (I'd say the first one was the late 80's into the 90's) to call it early, and it seems pretty niche still.
