AR as the future of EVERYTHING

I was checking out some of Magic Leaps media and found a connected site that went through Magic Leaps AR Patents and put them in a handy list.
https://www.fastcodesign.com/3041174/48-crazy-ui-ideas-coming-from-the-500-million-stealth-startup-magic-leap
Many of these ideas span gaming and entertainment with a lot of others expanding the workforce.
Magic Leap has some very interesting ideas for their technology. Here are a few that stood out to me:
A haptic feedback glove that allows the wearer to "feel" virtual items
They talk about a virtual office application, no more PC's, monitors, or even keyboards, everything would be available virtually. It would even go further to remember where those items are physically. Your desk could spawn all of your previous work when you look at it, or your coffee table could display the last article you were reading or the game you were playing.
They talk about the use of totems. Real items that can be "mapped" to virtual uses. Just looking at an item could signal a game being played. Or you could have a real life Key - such as the key to your house could automatically log you into MMORPG.com while the key to your car can log you into Steam
A lot of what they talk about in this article is Gamification of everything. This is one where riding a bike at home virtualizes other riders and even a virtual surrounding.
On with the gamification theme here is another where mowing a lawn challenges you to run over virtual gophers --
Or cooking and chopping a cucumber automatically detects this and creates a HUD with a score, tips, etc.
Here's a type of gamification when you're shopping, There could be instances where you subscribe to a service or have an app with advertisements that will cause detection of certain things (like cereal boxes) to spawn (in this case a monster) that will prompt you to play a game. While this could have other ramifications, something like this for parents shopping with young children could give the children something to do.
Here they talk about interesting ways at which doctors could use AR to speak with patients about their surgery, utilize AR during surgery to aid in performing it, and then afterwards, use the recordings as a way to go back through the surgery in the future.
These are patents and ideas that Magic Leap is currently working on. They have quietly become one of the largest Mixed Reality companies working on the technology, anywhere. There is also some information regarding Magic Leap working on Manufacturing these devices here in the US.
To think, at some point in the next 5 or 10 years, these kinds of things could be a reality.
