The military has been throwing money at VR and AR for decades, and will continue to do so because fighter pilots need HUDs, but most of us don't pilot F-35 fighter jets for a living.

So much of computing is still about being chained to a chair and table, using an ill designed keyboard layout, with a pointing device that only really kinda works in 2D. This has had imense repercussions on how we use computers today, it has alienated outsiders for years. We're at a point where people prefer to search for things rather than using the UI. At some point, certainly, we gotta start questioning how ** stale we are with user interfaces. I'm sorry for the rant, long day!
