For gaming and media consumption, VR is here to stay. The meta raybans have also been successful.

"Here to stay" doesn't say much. VR is as of now an extreme nieche and the reasons for that is more the space requirements and simply that having to wear a device sucks - those reasons are inherent and will not change with new tech.

If we're comparing to 3d glasses for movies like the parent comment said then that is a huge difference. samsung is releasing an android headset this year this long into VR which they didn't do for 3dtv. this generation of VR has already lasted longer than 3D-tv 6 years.
There are space requirements for base stations, but it can be played for many hours in a chair or in bed. Not every experience requires a large room. Newer headsets are self-tracked so that's already been solved by new tech.
The bigscreen beyond 2 is 107g and can be worn for hours. Struggling to see how portability and versatility won't improve with new tech.
I think the world is progressing away from headsets or screens.
We will just have an AI that will do everything, we just ask. "Book a flight, order a pizza and reply to my emails" boom, done.
Possibly, but the issue with chat interfaces is you often don't know what options are even available, and you still need the ability to browse information, so I think some screen will still be needed.
