AAPL price dump after VR headset reveal
The price movement was directly correlated with the VR headset announcement along with the demo of features.
Yes, it looks like ski goggles.
The OS is called Vision Pro
The VR OS is similar to Microsoft's Mixed Reality with their Hololens product which came out 8 years ago...

One of the selling features is that your eyes are visible, but the headset will conceal your eyes when you're fully immersed in an app.. which may or may not be groundbreaking as it didn't perfectly reveal your eyes (perhaps because there wasn't enough lighting inside the goggles to show your eyes clearly, but I think this could be fixed w/ software or by adding LED lights on the inside edges), however:
If you can keep your headset on while talking to people in the room compared to the competition, this feature alone would win out
Price tag is $3500, but again this is the dev conference, so the consumer version of this product will come later, although I can see how a lot of developers might want to buy this thing (also consider that Apple has the largest developer network) compared to competitor headsets which cost 7x less (META is coming out with a $500 VR headset).
Something to note, the stock dropped nearly 1.5% during all the free features (before the VR headset) that were going to be included to existing users, however that did coincide with the market indexes dropping as well.
Total drop from the peak was around 3.5% however the stock recovered nearly a percent, today's loss is only around 0.75% after falling from making another new 52w all time high. Trading volume was 2x the normal average, so ending red is very significant. $Apple(AAPL.US$ $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US$

Emm…. Pretty sure that the outside is a panel which projects a image of the frontal face. It is not a transparency.
