That rumour of 8K per view, $5000 selling price for AR finally make some sense if that is what they are really doing.
TSMC's ( or any Fabs ) method of making MicroLED is ridiculously expensive, comparatively speaking to any display technology on the market.

People aren't expected to wear AR glasses all the time. Only when there's a reason/purpose to engage with AR.
When it's cold outside I usually wear a jacket. When it's not cold outside, or when I'm home, there's no need to wear a jacket.
Oh wow that’s exactly what I read about for the Apple Watch...”novelty wear off” popped up everywhere
... which would make many a business meeting much more endurable 👍
This is some real BS. Companies should never have so much power that they can forbid employees from meeting with friends. Could you imagine if they tried this in Silicon Valley where everyone works in tech? This is abuse. And like people don’t talk to each other over the phone or text? So stupid. Overreach. It’s just a job. No job should be so important that it takes precedence over your life and relationships. We’re not slaves. We work to live, not live to work.
If they can make screens that small and pair it up with an airpods max headset all the computing power and battery and sound can come from the airpods style headset while leaving the glasses looking like ordinary sunglasses. If they tether the glasses to the headset they can run a cable through that. Its possible to make a very small pair of glasses if you pair it up with an over the ear headset.
The Apple VR goggles will be expensive like that, as they will be intended as a low volume niche product likely for the purpose as a de facto beta/development tool for AR Glasses, which is the AR product Apple is taking very seriously. I think the AR glasses will be half that price, or less.
Where did you get $3000? And by the time these come out, the pandemic will be long gone. You should be vaccinated every year for the flu. Does that change your buying habits?
Tim Cook has said to the media that he believes AR will be "bigger than the iPhone". That kind of thing isn't said lightly. I think Apple believes that AR is the next major computing platform. It's basically computing without the limitations of physical displays, and the addition of a totally 3D environment around you. We will probably one day wonder how we ever lived without AR.
Covid vaccines are relatively cheap and free in most cases in the USA...he should have no health cost and plenty of money for the AR glasses.
I would like a head up display with time, bearing, course over ground, and altitude while backpacking and snow camping. Cycling cue sheet and power output HUD would also be good.
What makes you say that aluminium oxynitride is a better than aluminium oxide, as far as artificial materials used for their glass-like qualities?
