The correct solution to the vr isolation problem is to have passthrough AR, then digitally remove the helmets of the other people in the same room.

That way, as long as everyone is wearing a helmet, it looks like no one is wearing a helmet.

Sounds like a good solution for a low probability situation. Eye visibility for normal humans is much more practical than issuing every human a VR system and requiring they wear it at all times to maintain the illusion.

why shouldn't the other people be rendered as an avatar they choose like in VR chat?

It's inhuman.

It's gimmicky?

I'm really curios of Fashion conces people really like avatars. I don't think so and I also don't think that the apple brand is a good fit for it.

Real life Avatars with light enhancements will also be weird I think

Let's see.
