I never really got how you would use AR for gaming...I mean, the game world would be limited by the space you're physically in.

Forza Vista in your living room for example.
Get your RPG character standing next to you while you check your armor, weapons or whatever
Make the whole wall your screen
Use your coffee table as a board for a map editor or forge mode in Halo
Call tactics in madden / Fifa / NHL / NBA on a pitch in front of you

And that is just what came to my mind in the first 4 minutes.

Those are all interesting little tid-bits...but then what? How do you play that RPG with AR? Just on a fake, lower resolution screen? That's the same issue I had with the Minecraft demo, and that demo Magic Leap showed off. "Look! You can look at the Minecraft map in AR!", "Look! Robots are attacking you in your office!" They never talk about the next step. 

This picture perfectly embodies my issue with AR gaming.

AR is looking at the hole in the wall, VR is walking through it.
