Apple Vision Pro is unbelievably good at figuring out what you’re looking at, seamlessly adjusting for eye saccades and a host of other weird things our bodies do. I imagine the tech will eventually get shrunk down.
I think the question is: what’s hardest of the following:
* Knowing what you’re looking or pointing at
* Getting you private audio
* Getting you public video
* Getting you private video
And we’ll get hardware constraints based on that list. It seems to me like private video is hardest in hardware without glasses, but public video might be harder in terms of capex - e.g. we need different materials in our spaces, or a lot of projectors, or … Anyway fun to speculate about all this.

Private-ish audio is solved with bone conduction, see the new Meta Rayban Glasses or the Bose Frames for example.
There's more leakage than you get with normal headphones, it's not something you could use in a church, library or cinema without annoying people, but it's private enough for most use cases.
You can wear them all the time, even if your hands are busy, it won't look weird, they're the perfect place for a microphone and a camera, and the frames are just in the right spot for delivering sound to your ears via bone conduction.
Input is probably going to be the biggest hurdle, just like it was with touch screens, especially in situations where using your voice isn't acceptable.
I think Google had the right idea with Google Glass, but they were far too early, just like IBM had exactly the right idea with Simon[1].
