I dont understand why you keep saying this.....they arent the same thing. At all. Its impossible to use AR for something such as VR tourism.

AR like Google Glass is very useful for something to wear daily. VR will be for specialized scenarios such as gaming, tourism, movies, and meetings. The two technologies really pose little threat to each other.

Those specialized scenarios aren't mainstream. VR tourism is a nice concept, but AR does it easier and cheaper, same with meetings. Only with media consuption does VR have the advantage and even then, it depends on how much of the environment you need to be aware of. VR inherently has a disadvantage with multitasking.

Did you just say movies arent mainstream.........

Your whole argument here makes no sense. AR and VR are different things. They arent even competing technologies.
