> The main reason is I find it hard to believe that people who do not need to wear glasses will want to wear them.

Replace glasses with watches and you will find that Apple is leading the market of smartwatches sold and that remains undisputed and unchallenged for too many years in a row.

As for AR or VR, Facebook has the resources to execute both due to Oculus and shrink it into a piece of sunglasses or whatever form of glasses they choose. Same with Apple.

They both have the games, the hardware and the billions of users to bring adoption of AR and VR. The difference? Are we going to use sun glasses for AR/VR or remain on smartphones for AR/VR?

The future of AR/VR is heading towards the former (glasses) and either of them is going to execute it right. Maybe Google North could try as well. Regardless, that reinforces my point on where AR/VR is heading next and I just don't buy your anecdotes as a convincing argument here.




I'd add Microsoft to the mix of players given they have the best AR device on the market right now.
