A lot of people are complaining about it's use case for laptops, but I think a display like this on cars or glasses/goggles could be interesting.

Doesn't this already exist since half a century? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display No need for a transparent display at all.

HUDs on cars rely on a screen on the dash that reflects onto the windshield and into your eyeballs. They're good at night, but during the day they can be pretty hard to see unless the screen is absurdly bright. Maybe this wouldn't have that issue?

As an additional data point, I've never once had trouble seeing the HUD on my Mazda even while driving into the sun.

Same here. It's always been excellent

On the other hand, they're also focused at infinity so it's easier to glance at than a transparent screen.
