My big point of the post was it is coming faster than you think.
I have learned not to try making the point that the market will change leaving many behind. If they have not learned by now, then they will not ever.
Granted the tech shown at Microsoft Lab is to pricey for a user, but not for a producer of content. You only need to deliver that content to the HoloLens.
This brings made to order live experiences to the mainstream. Going to be hard to beat that except for a true live experience or perhaps future pornbot toys in VR.
But this (ar/holo type) will be very wide spread in just a few years.
VR on the other hand, is going to be nearly as interesting before the next winter. Many working on new types of VR tech have been silent. That is going to change once the consumer has the devices to make a quick market for a reveal. Nobody is going to release their tech to early and show what they are up to when there was/is no potential for sales. The competition is going to be fierce pretty early (outside of the first year) for VR.
