I don't think AR will be huge for phones until we don't have to wear something on our face. People don't want to wear things on their face period. It's been proven time and time again they just don't like it. For gaming it's ok because it's temporary and at home. When your trying to go out and have fun and you don't want something on your face all the time.

I have glasses, I love being able to "see" 20/20.

I can imagine some slightly heavier "kinda weak" AR glasses that hook up to your phone, being common place in the future.

There is no way to get AR without wearing anything btw.

There is no way to get AR without wearing anything but what about that:

This could be for people that can tolerate contact lenses.

This technology will not be available soon but maybe when we are old. If you do all the computing on a cloud. With ultra low latency wifi endless possibilities.
