If you had, hypothetically, AR glasses that weighed 25 grams with a 12 hour battery runtime with transparent or equivalent real world visuals and perfectly opaque virtual content across the entire field of view, youd have even broader adoption than earbuds have today.
Being able to pull up your phone apps without holding your phone, the ability to have real world subtitles in any language. If they go the camera and reproduce route, they can have a nice solution to presbyopia (reading glasses suck to have to switch out).
Unfortunately current headsets weighs the same as twenty eyeglasses and has much improved, but still terrible passthrough, and wouldn't last but a couple of hours even if you wanted to try. Bigscreen beyond gets down to 100 grams, but still looks weird and requires external battery and processor.
