    Memes aside, I am looking forward to these headsets to become cheaper, more mature, and widely available.

    Being able to put a browser window where I want instead of using my pathetic meat hands to manipulate a smartphone touchscreen.

    The ability to use rear facing cameras to look behind me to prevent assassination attempts.

    Being able to translate stuff that I’m looking at, have an actual Heads-Up Display for important real life details (HP, mana, etc). Placing waypoint markers so you don’t get lost. A real life “ENHANCE” feature so you can just zoom in on shit.

    Blocking ads would be annoying though. Very, very annoying.

      I agree! I want all of those things, but I’m also going to chuckle at how silly it looks until we’re all accustomed to it. I feel like if Apple is embracing AR goggles, then there’s a good chance of it becoming mainstream.
