This is the type of technology that is crying out for a killerapp, but may end up struggling to find one.
I had a Vodafone R&D team working with the Sony 3D AR glasses (aka 'Tom Hanks CES glasses'). We loved the tech and had a great playground, but couldn't get to the creation of one app that solved a clear painpoint.
We ended up with glorious tech demos, but they were all suited for a short-lived themepark attraction but not for ongoing use.
Anyway, I am excitedly waiting for someone who can do better than us.
It needs the equivalent of the PC desktop environment. An abstraction that makes sense for how to interact with it, and a way for it to interact with your surroundings.
Maybe IoT plus some connectivity / control standard similar to DLNA would make for a good base, where for example you could look at devices and bring up their menus to control them.
