Robert Scoble, no question AR (or spatial computing if you prefer) will be big, especially in the vertical markets you highlight. I’m talking about how we interface with computers. You’re talking primarily about something different: our computer-mediated interactions with the world.

And what you describe isn’t mainstream yet, unless you define it broadly enough to include Yelp on my iPhone. A million units of Gear VR is cool, but you know what’s really cool? A billion units. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) Samsung sells 300 million non-VR phones a year. Hundreds of millions of people are already using conversational interfaces with Siri and OK Google, before the chatbots even spin up. Maybe spatial computing will be the Sixth Interface?
