We could take that in many directions. Where I'd love to get your thoughts is on your estimation of where this goes from an industry dynamic point of view. Assuming you're correct in the form factor you're suggesting, where does the smartphone fit in this? Does it coexist alongside more vision-related products, or does it become obsolete? I imagine they will coexist for a while. Maybe some early adopters will have both smartphones and glasses. Perhaps specialists will use these glasses for specific functions, whether professionally, socially, or just for fun. Does the phone maintain its relevance in the future, or does it completely go away once we reach this level of technological success where it's no longer necessary?

You're not competing with other AR apps today; you're competing with what people already do. If you want to design something new, you must create something that makes the phone's activities obsolete, not just the form factor but its uses. Otherwise, people will continue buying smartphones as they exist, and the glasses will be for special cases, like special purposes or workplace-related augmentation.
