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?

I can't imagine the Vision Pro will stay $3500. I fully expect them to release Apple Vision (non pro) for a significantly cheaper price down the line. That product will most likely see more adoption.

100%. The name alone begs for a Vision Air being dropped in the next couple years, hopefully coming with a hefty price drop.

@EonNShadow @TheRtRevKaiser I agree, but I think that the #VisionAir will still be expensive. If it's $1.5k we should be happy, anything cheaper and it'll probably be crap tbh

Sure its not already crap? I mean look who makes it. Would i have to jailbreak my headset to watch porn?
