I'm in that age range and while I enjoy VR (VRchat is one of my most played games), I think at a certain point AR is "going too far". The current AR technology in the quest 3 is nice, good enough I don't need more. Being able to watch vids on a big screen anywhere in my house is enough.
Apple and meta though I think they want an all encompassing device that you wear all the time that replaces the phone, and thats a step too far. People already spend enough time on there phones when uts a single tiny screen, I don't think it would be good for attention spans to be able to spawn in infinite floating windows at any time.
You can kinda already have 6 floating windows on the quest 3 which is too much stimulation for a single person and I don't think its good for society to have this. I think if it can get a form factor similar to glasses (which I doubt is possible), people will buy it and get addicted.
Current day vr is like the polar opposite of the future AR that they want anyways. VR games force you to only focus on the current thing, because you are in the game, can't alt tab or look at your phone while in loading screens or watch youtube while gaming. This kinda forces you to do it in moderation.
