Mixed reality will be awesome. But we need a handful of killer apps, and the headsets need to be affordable enough that your friends have it, too.

Apple half-assed their rollout. They should have been dumping money into development of must-have apps before launch.

One killer app that I still haven't found is the ability to scan a living space and then make virtual modifications. I've got an idea to expand my kitchen and want to walk around it, and you'd think a VR rig that can scan rooms could do this. But I can't find any app to do this on any VR platform.
