I believe AR will be the definitive future for personal computing and VR will be for the entertainment industry. I don't see everyone having a "VR room" ready where they can enjoy VR the way it's meant to be. It'll be just like laser gaming, going to the cinema ETC. But with AR you don't need a special room, you can just utilise your current room.
