I just doubt the very big vision of "immersive revolution", as I think that most usages will be strictly for entertainment, and some more specific cases like therapies and simulations.
In the past it would require hiring an entire vfx team. And this is just interacting with more or less static content. Things get even more interesting with dynamic systems where you adjust one parameter of the system and the entire world around you changes.
(FWIW, I read the trilogy years ago and enjoyed it; also by Wright, but not about AR/VR/etc., is the six-book "Count to the Eschaton Sequence". I enjoyed reading the first 2-3 books and hope to finish it eventually).
