My opinion? VR is on its last legs. I've tried it, and while it's cool... blocking my entire vision and attention just isn't realistic.
That said, from what I've seen, I do think AR is going to be the next big thing.

Prices are still to high, people need to get more experience in it and investors need to be convinced.
This takes a while.
Only because tec is so fast, doesn't mean vr is dead.
In the next years i'm guessing things like this will come or are on the way already: - VR Cafes - VR lighter, cheaper and with higher resolution - VR for industrie (especially training people in VR will be huge) - VR experience centers where you have VR / AR by having a VR Headset and interact with the Environment - VR for building houses, renovating flats
I've had the Oculus Rift for some time but in the end I sold it. At the current stage with the problems the platforms still have I honestly don't see it as worth investing my time in it. If I would place a bet short-term it wouldn't be on VR but rather AR.
Then again there are certainly niche's where it has his place but as a general usage device? Nah.
