What's your opinion on Apple's googles?

It does nothing new but seems to be very polished. I'm not sure it's worth 3.5k $.

I think it does something new: integrating a virtual, single person display with a computer. They might be not a new kind of display for the computer you have, but an alternative to having a MacBook. Still pricey, but from that perspective less absurd.

Is Spacetop with Magic Leap not a very similar concept though?

Probably, but from my research all existing headsets suck at rendering text crisply everywhere and at all sensible sizes. That totally broke the usecase for me - till now.
