Back in the 70s the idea of a home computer was incredibly niche. Same with the precursor to modern smart phones, the PDA in the 90s. People legitimately believed that video games would only be played on expensive machines that lived in arcades.
Technology evolves. I do believe at some point there will be a tipping point where AR and VR become commonplace. There are so many applications for it. I'm very excited about where Apple takes this space. If they can bring the cost down to $1500-2000 and bring the battery life up to 6-10 hours I think it will become a very compelling product for a lot of people.
