I just saw the video and was impressed by the amount of detail Apple puts in their "apple way of doing what already exists" but at the same time really discouraged to even try this stuff. Can't explain much better than saying: everything seems dystopian. Like Marques says: who would be at their child birthday party with a headset on their head? I just think it's another step in the long stair of individualism.
I think the tech itself is amazing but this is not a product for me, regardless of price. All VR headsets give me that uncomfortable dystopian vibe for some reason. This one cranks up the feeling significantly.
Maybe I'll feel different someday when I'm retired? That's not to suggest I have some super exciting day-to-day reality now, but for whatever reason, just the thought of VR at this point in my life makes me feel uneasy.

During the presentation I thought the same thing initially, but then remembered that it was also extremely common to stand there with a large camcorder in hand (and typically put right up to your face so you can see what you are filming). It may not feel that different.
It would of course get absurd if half the family stands there with these things on their head. But that's a different matter I guess.
Hopefully they'll come up with a way to record video like that on the iPhone that you can watch later on the headset. Either that or make a version years later that looks more like normal glasses.
