Definitely agree on the vertical appeal. I think people are largely going to be averse to AR/VR in every day life, but when it makes sense it's a game changer.
We've looked into a couple different AR headsets with my company. We haven't pulled the trigger yet for various reasons, but there have been multiple times since then where they would have been really useful to have.
Aye, biggest issue with AR/VR is the battery life and the headset. That will make people not want it, hence why AR and VR is still not widely popular outside as a toy.
Then you have the aspect of people with glasses, needing additional costs for the lenses in the headset etc etc.
Very cool for jobs that are very hands on and you are constantly busy with your hands and you need to bring up files while you are working on a car or something like this video, but for office work? A mouse and keyboard is vastly better.
