I think what you're missing is that this is likely in preparation for some sort of AR glasses and something smaller form factor than the Vision Pro that will require transparency so you can see through to the real world etc...

My Mac screen isn't transparent. Why should its UI be?

If there is "some sort of AR glasses and something smaller form factor than the Vision Pro that will require transparency so you can see through to the real world", limit the transparent interface only to that device.

Mark my words, this is coming. It’s doable (as an effect) - rear camera captures what’s behind the screen, face tracking adjusts perspective in real-time to make it seem transparent/have correct parallax.

How do you adjust the frame rate of reality to match?

I prefer life to look like a movie…24fps.

But if you’re serious, I guess whatever the Apple vision does.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see “transparent” heads up displays in vehicles that take on this design language/tech.
