I honestly doubt this will take off, but it'll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

Wow, your comment is the first time it's been made clear to me that this thing isn't actually see-through and that's just a screen on the outside. I thought it was essentially a sleeker looking Hololens. I've had the wrong impression of this thing the entire time, and now I'm much less impressed by it.

Lol, yeah, and what's crazy to me is they have the inner eye tracking cams projecting the user's expressions back to that outer screen. Incredibly complicated implementation soaking up precious compute cycles, for no real reason or benefit. Normal Apple things. I think the outer screen goes dark if the user goes into "full VR" mode to watch a movie or whatever
