>You seem to have a more solid idea than I of what a Vison-like device is for.

I don't. I'm just guessing what Apple may have in mind.

>But if I find myself walking down the street with a screen on my face, I’d personally prefer to just close the apps that I don’t need

Of course, but what about the apps you do need? Say you're in a shop, taking notes, browsing the shop's website, scanning barcodes with something like the Yuka app, maybe even keeping an eye on messages at the same time.

I kept wondering what's the point of covering things in this semi-transparent sludge that doesn't actually allow you to see through but still makes the things in the foreground harder to see.

Well, here's your answer. Avoiding collisions and maybe getting a vague idea of where we want to turn next.

Note that I'm not saying this is a good idea. It's just what I think Apple has in mind. I don't think we can know at this point how or if we really want to use smart glasses.
