What annoys me is that there are dozens of industrial applications for this technology, but it often feels as though AR is held hostage by a “need” for mass-market appeal.
No. Apple should not release this product until the form factor is an optical see-through pair of glasses, the resolution is >35PPD, and user interaction with virtual content is fairly seemless. Anything less and I don't see the product gaining any real traction, which will be a shame after waiting so long for apple to "get this right."
