XR glasses will do the same to the smartphone, and I can't wait.

  I'm not sure. Watch didn't replace the phone. (Although if the watch took photos I might just leave the phone at home more often.)

    The watches that took photos _sucked_...which was one of the reasons I'm betting Apple didn't include one on their first (and subsequent) Apple watches.

  I just came back from Delhi, and thought similarly (just camera specifically rather than smartphone actually) there, that I'd have loved to have something like Google Glass, but more subtle looking, for discretely taking photos without standing out so much - I missed a lot because I just didn't feel comfortable framing the shot, looking like such a tourist (I was visiting family, didn't see anyone else like that) - but of course I did look at them, would've been great to just touch the side of my glasses or whatever to take the photo. Day to day though, as a smartphone replacement... unless/until I need prescription lenses I don't think it's enough to make me want to start wearing glasses.

  XR glasses don't solve the HID part (I don't think people will start pointing at things in the air. Even if they do it's much more tiresome).

    > I don't think people will start pointing at things in the air. There are other possible input devices. For XR glasses, the most natural would be some sort of gaze tracking. Another option would be an indirect device like a mouse or trackpad (most desktop and laptop users don't point directly at things in their screens), or even a set of cursor keys for menu selection.
