I agree.

No, the biggest reason I think VR will be mainstream sooner than he says is because we have an ad running at work for a VR viewmaster from Mattel. VR is going to be a thing in one form or another. |
Current VR and AR is mostly novelty value except at the very high end, especially at the price spectrum consumers are willing to pay. 10 years seems about right for the price point and level of power required to make any consumer device more than a gimmick.
I agree although I think he misspelled century

10 years is a lifetime in the tech world. The first iphone came out less than 10 years ago.
Also remember that not all VR is Oculus or PSVR. VR for mobile devices is likely where most people will get their VR from and mobile devices are getting more powerful all the time.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
hes wrong about VR.... probably right about AR.
VR could be mainstream within 5years.
I dont see AR being mainstream that soon, its probably 15+ years away.

Learn to read sarcasm. Why would someone who has PSVR and Oculus on preorder be jelly?
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

AR is the practical, none less nerdy, and cheaper version of VR

Because the properly rich people have already wasted their money on an Oculus SDK2 and have the consumer version and PSVR on preorder.
