I am honestly thrilled about VR. But it makes me wonder, if people are excited about the possibilities of VR, let's just wait for AR to mature and have things like Meta 2 (http://www.roadtovr.com/meta-2-development-kit-hands-on-coul...) or HoloLens (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/holoportation/) really working as advertised.

I feel that AR has even more applications than VR, although honestly when both will be sufficiently advanced they will merge. VR will eventually be AR with the external (world) "signal" turned off.
