I speculate the fake eyes functioned exactly as they needed to: they let Apple market the device with photos that make it look almost transparent.
In reality, my wife can hardly see my eyes on mine, so I don't know what function they're supposed to serve to the customer. But it makes the picture of the device you see front and center on apple.com right now more of an exaggeration (or unrealistically and perfectly staged) than an outright fabrication.
I suspect they'll drop it in the next generation. It was just for the initial rollout and marketing until people get used to what it looks like (black or colorful swirls) in real life.
- jkestner 3y agoI think you’re exactly right, except I can’t see Apple moving backwards to the eye-exam blinders that everyone else uses. They need to maintain that impression that Vision is less alien than the rest. (“They’re like ski goggles!”) I think the effect gets a little better, until they’re ready to go transparent with AR.
- sagarm 3y agoHigh end ski goggles come with reflective lenses by default these days.
- lagniappe 3y agoIt's so that people can stay with the goggles on longer. The only way to normalize people wearing this in public, or to be able to see themselves able to do things with them on is to make them think they aren't blocking someone's face.

- lupire 3y agoPeople playing animations on their face on public are going to get paint thrown at them. Walking animated billboards are not acceptable.
