Yeah, exactly. I'm really hoping Apple tries that instead after the failure of the Vision Pro. It's the opposite paradigm: Not "complete computing device in a headset", but rather "just an eye-worn display and nothing else". It doesn't even need any fancy tracking, just basic gyro stabilization so the windows don't shake, like the VR mode on phones already have (e.g. for Google Cardboard). They don't even need to be aligned to anything in the real world.

Other companies are making glasses like that, but the displays aren't very good – IMO that's the limiting factor.

I've tried many AR/VR devices over the past decades and it's just not a use case I can see most people ever wanting, myself included. But "portable private monitor with a giant canvas" is an itch that still hasn't been scratched :( It's less sexy in some ways, but it's also something I'd probably use every day.
