Allowing people to view monsters in another virtual dimension, past 3rd-density reality.
Creating a virtual world above our current, boring, physical world. Combine with Oculus Rift, Google Glass, etc - people walking around in a extra dimensional fantasy land unrelated to actual reality.
People are already immersed in TV, video games, porn, beliefs and ideologies, social media, etc. They are dependent on ego-satisfying virtual dimensions for happiness. This will make it physical and real.
What is next to come?
The world won't end because of wars or disasters.
It will end because where are too distracted by entertainment.
The dystopia is already here.

>What is next to come?
Basic income, legalization of marijuana, virtual reality sex/pornography, depopulation of rural society, and almost zero car ownership due automated driving services; all part of the course to make a completely docile, passive, thoughtless, and zombified society that is too preoccupied with watching Netflix and playing Pokemon GO then anything else.
What is the purpose of such society? I have no idea but it is on the horizon.
" Mark Zuckerberg says augmented reality glasses are 'what we're trying to get to' "

He says,
"
Over the next 10 years, the form factor's just going to keep on getting smaller and smaller, and eventually we're going to have what looks like normal-looking glasses that can do both virtual and augmented reality. And augmented reality gives you the ability to see the world but also to be able to overlay digital objects on top of that.
So that means that today, if I want to show my friends a photo, I pull out my phone and I have a small version of the photo. In the future, you'll be able to snap your fingers and pull out a photo and make it as big as you want, and with your AR glasses you'll be able to show it to people and they'll be able to see it.
As a matter of act, when we get to this world, a lot of things that we think about as physical objects today, like a TV for displaying an image, will actually just be $1 apps in an AR app store. So it's going to take a long time to make this work. But this is the vision, and this is what we're trying to get to over the next 10 years.
"
So according to Facebook, this is the future - people wearing these AR/VR glasses instead of the phones they carry now. We clearly have the technologic potential, after Google Glass, Pokemon Go, and Oculus Rift. I am certainly interested in seeing what will happen, how many people will embrace the technology, how this will affect today's political struggles.
