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?

@iraldir @httpjames I would have to disagree, because it's too expensive and the economy is bad. If it was affordable, people would gobble it up.

In a year or two when the SE version comes out, it'll probably be around the price of a normal laptop. Demand will skyrocket by then, because Vision Pro is pretty much an all-in-one package with the added bonus of being XR.
