Im thinking something as big as personal computers. Imagine being one of the early adopters and buying apple and Microsoft stock when their companies were relatively fresh.

I don't think Virtual reality will be as big because
A. You can't wear a headset for extended amounts of time
B. Headsets are expensive.

But smart glasses that sync with your phone and can read QR codes to make things appear in 3D in front of you seems like the wave to me. That's a much easier sell to the public since smart glasses would presumably less bulky than the original Google glass.

Imagine a video chat where the person pops up in front of you as if they're really sitting there instead of you staring at them on a screen. Imagine not needing a TV anymore because now you just put on your smart glasses and it syncs to a box which then projects a huge screen in front of you.
