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 was going to write about how recording your kids with this thing is bad, but then I remembered that people back in the day recorded their kids with camcorders. I wonder if back then people thought it was creepy. Nowadays people just use phones and it's generally considered OK, because it's now normalized behaviour (everyone does it).

However, with how rare VR is (and I can't see it becoming a mainstream product due to its mostly niche use cases), using the Vision to record "special family moments" will probably be frowned upon, even in a few years.
