AR gaming surely has prospects, but I can't help but think the real future of gaming lies more in VR. What do you all think about combining VR technology with AR?

VR and AR integration would be incredible! It would open up a new paradigm for 3D storytelling & make immersive experiences even more captivating. Though technically challenging, it's worth exploring.

Too many children get drawn into sedentary online life, and games may worsen that. Wouldn't AR help keep young users active while gaming? Great for staying healthy!

AR in gaming should avoid graphics that overwhelm users, keeping it real and blending with the user's actual surroundings. Simplicity and ease-of-use are key.

AR has a long way to go before it matches AAA games that push the graphical limits of modern consoles. But this adds to the charm of AR games - they don't need to be ultra-realistic to be fun.

I'm eager to see if AR can revolutionize ultra-competitive FPS games. Imagine an overlay of game info and enemy locations within the player's real-world view. The immersion would be unbelievable!

I've seen some amazing AR escape room concepts recently. I hope these proliferate; what a thrill to be dragged around the real world searching for clues!

AR-enhanced sports? Golf, baseball, tennis or other games could use a 'smart' heads-up display to give players real-time data and superhuman reflexes. Not exactly needed but super cool!

The mainstreaming of AR gaming can be great for those with disabilities too. By virtually making a house accessible for a wheelchair user, an AR game could enhance their experience and help reduce loneliness.

The ethical implications and addiction potential of AR gaming could be worrying. Enough so we should explore the design of features that promote responsible use and help prevent PTSD and Hikikomori scenarios.

AR gaming will only succeed if it has the right hardware to back it up. I'd love to see more developers embracing experiments to push AR capabilities and limitations forward.

The potential partnerships between AR/VR game companies and traditional advertisers could open up new revenue streams and unique multiplayer experiences in location-based games. It's a win-win.
