Will we see mass adoption of Apple Vision? (sh.itjust.works)

Apple Vision Pro launched at WWDC over a week ago and they showed a lot of clips of normal people wearing it doing (relatively) normal things, like cooking, watching movies, even working at the office.

One clip that really intrigued me was the one where a father was recording his kids in 3D through his Vision Pro. To me, this seemed off at first since to other people, it may not look like you're present in the moment. But after thinking about it for a while, isn't it the same as just wearing sunglasses, if not better? Sunglasses block your eyes, but Vision Pro would show your eyes to the outside world.

So I guess the question is, will Apple Vision Pro and subsequent products become widely socially acceptable one day?

Will people still be pariahs if they walk around with AR gear like gargoyles? Will VR still cause VR sickness? I don't know how apple plans to solve those problems, though I suppose they'll make a go at it.

If they looked like regular glasses, it probably would be far more successful. This is great to wear at home when you're wanting to just play in VR/AR stuff, but I couldn't imagine wearing it around.

Glassholes, comes to mind.
