4. AR will beat up VR and steal its lunch money

增强现实将与虚拟现实争夺市场

While the world oohs, ahhs, and hurls over VR (but doesn’t buy it), Augmented Reality (AR) will infiltrate all kinds of industries, from design and engineering to architecture, education, and medicine. Why? Being less immersive — you can actually see the world around you, as well as virtual objects — makes AR much more practical.

当世人还在惊叹于虚拟现实产品（但又不买）的时候，增强现实技术已开始渗透到各个领域，从建筑设计、建造，到教育行业，再到医疗行业。这是因为增强现实技术的仿真度要相对低些，人们可以获得真实的感官体验，还包括虚拟物品。这大大增强了技术的实用性。

Microsoft just released a new version of its HoloLens and will begin shipping $3,000 HoloLens development kits this spring. Google Glass will also emerge from the rock it’s been hiding under since its ill-fated debut, most likely aimed at industrial use.

微软刚刚推出一款全新的全息眼镜，并将于明天春推出价值三千美元的开发套件。而谷歌眼镜首次问世反响不佳，在雪藏了一段时间后也将重出江湖，很可能是面向工业用途。

5. Comcast will try to acquire Netflix — or possibly vice versa

康卡斯特或将收购网飞公司，亦或是被网飞公司收购
