VR is here for about 20 years ... still nothing has catched up. VR has some inherent flaws that will probably hinder itself from ever getting to anything except niches (like gaming).
AR, on the other hand, MIGHT get some traction, but I'm not sure how. AR currently adds another layer of abstraction ... that's one layer too much. There should be something where it adds more use than the additional layer of interaction takes. I personally like the IKEA App where you can visually place furniture into your AR room, that's pretty need and helpful. Other than that (and gaming of course) i don't see any applications for the web.
Applications for other things like "way finding" or "place something in AR (like an electrician virtually places the markers where to install outlets) might come if there is more benefits than "the old way".
