If there's a device like this that costs closer to $500 and where the ergonomics actually work for like everyone that works with a random Linux install, maybe.
But at $3500 or whatever with questionable ergonomics on a device that requires an expensive fruity computer, certainly not yet.

The Vision Pro does not require a computer. It is a standalone computer powered by Apple's M2 chip, the same chip that powers some of their laptops.
It has a second chip to handle all of the cameras that track eye and hand movement so you can manipulate the interface by moving your fingers.
It is an amazing accomplishment. First generation products are always more expensive then later generation products.
Life is short. I'll be using it as soon as I can get it.
Somebody did a 3D interface where you see scenes from War and Peace projected around the page but I would find that too distracting. My focus is on the text and I want to be able to read as quickly as possible.
If it can turn a page with my eye movements, I will be ecstatic.
I have a Kindle Scribe, and it is good, but balancing it on a pillow to read in bed is not that much fun. I hope that the goggles and the room will disappear when I read so that I can become one with the book. I want time to stop when I am reading.
I will report my findings.
As for "you do you", that is a tautology. Who else could I do?
