This was always going to happen. The human eye has a field of view and dynamic range no display technology can hope to match anytime soon. The future of AR is not reprojecting the outside world on a screen; it is screens which can become transparent.

For that to happen we would need a transparent display that can block light. Seeing content on an additive display will always look somewhat transparent, with no hope of displaying blacks. The augmentation on the vision pro look so much better than on a HoloLens2, it's like looking at 3d printed objects.

My impression is that this is known to be possible and it’s mainly an engineering challenge to get good yields cheaply.

Dynamic transparency is the path to the future, and it's physically perfectly doable. Any news from the ray ben smart glasses?
