Thats the part that reminds me of mobile phone games for kids.

With AR you take all level design out of the game.... because it depends on what kinda enviroment your room is.

Level design is a key part of gameing,... for alot of games.

 

I dont see how you can make a "serious" game for AR.

I can easily see how you could do something like Uncharted in VR, a game like that wont ever be possible in AR.

Like you said be cool for mobile mini type games, but i cant see it having much use for real gaming. Now however i can think of a number of non gaming things this would be cool for. Like projecting a massive 3D Imax screen in your living room (Guess that would also be cool for gaming lol).

Except it can't, it can project a 52" tv at 7ft max. But true once the fov is fixed you could do that. You could all be staring at a blank wall while watching your own tv show. A wider FOV will also allow information and screens to be put outside the center of your vision. Much safer while using it outside. For driving it would be awesome if it can draw in your gps route on top of the road in front of you and highlight traffic at night and other dangers.
The same for the airline industry. Project the runway in front of you in any weather condition without the obstruction of the cockpit.
