I agree about VR, but I'm really excited for advancements in AR!

I'm a really avid mountain biker, road cyclist and snowboarder, and I'd love some basic telemetry displayed in the goggles or glasses I'm already wearing. Nothing kills a ride faster than having to stop to pull out your phone to see if you missed a turn or to figure out which unmarked trail you're supposed to take. (Not to mention all of the information we current have to look down at our cycling computers to see: HR, watts, cadence, etc.)

As a trail runner, same - I really look forward to a future where decent glasses can show route details/programmable workout info/etc. and I can leave the watch at home. Less crap to carry + more info readily available would be awesome!

I know that's not the problem Apple's solving here, but I'm hopeful that anything they can do to push AR will filter down quickly.

Absolutely! I feel like VR is still in its Napster phase.

Seems like existing helmet HUD technology should be sufficient for some basic telemetry.
