If I had money to bet, and I had to bet it on a long shot, then I'd bet on "mobile AR" that more closely resembles Google Glass than the Rift, Vive, GearVR, etc.

I think mobile AR glasses could dethrone the smartphone as the communication/utility/entertainment device that nearly everyone uses. The glasses would look like "normal" prescription glasses. In their default "off" state they would function like normal prescription glasses (and sunglasses when outdoors). When turned on, they show the user essentially a large smartphone like display. The various lists, images, etc could be manipulated with small hand gestures near the users' laps.

I've done a fair amount of VR development. I've tried the Vive, GearVR, and Google Glass. The discomfort level of current generation VR headsets is, in my opinion, a deal-breaker. This is ignoring nausea.

Unfortunately, it seems like he dropped the ball in some major ways. So Apple started to take off a few years after you left? Then taking your fucking amazing technical and leadership skills to Apple! The post-startup is blowing it in terms of product development and the competition is eating their lunch? Then join the fucking competition.

Programmers/engineers can change some important things. For example, our employers. If you're a strong engineer in a shitty situation, then find something better. It might even help you retire (like joining Apple in the late 90s).
