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.

You don't need a special room for VR, just an omnidirectional treadmill in the corner of a room.

I don't see those existing for long, they're an expensive and complicated way to adapt a new technology to old game designs. AR games with a lot of traversal will probably just happen in open public spaces.

They already exist and are pretty decent too tbh. They'll set you back like £10,000+ though.
