Honestly though, if there is one thing Apple is really good at, it’s normalizing things that many might perceive as weird at first. I remember owning a first-gen Pebble, and I had numerous people jest about dorky it was with gems like, “You totally owned a calculator watch didn’t you?” Fast forward a few years, and Apple Watches are everywhere. Wearing a Vision headset at a kids birthday party will probably be on the same level as busting out an iPad to capture a video.
Maybe if they’re normal, they’ll still be contextual. Earbuds are totally normal, but unless they’re hearing aids, it would not be socially acceptable to just have your earbuds in all the time at your kid’s birthday party.
These I think are like earbuds for your eyes. Yes, they can have a mode where you interact with the outside world without removing them, but that’s only for intermittent use. If you and I have a conversation, you’ll likely remove your earbuds.
