Anybody could walk up and ask me a question, and I'd both see and hear them. In fact, that is one of the main points of today's announcement. The new "mixed reality" feature means exactly that.
(You could always hear people around you in VR (if you wished), but seeing your surroundings didn't work well at all, unless you used developer mode hacks, and even then the cameras were bad.)
With Meta's previous headset, I wouldn't contemplate using it in a starbucks.
Not because I prioritize people walking over and interrupting me, or them being able to see every inch of my face, but because I want to be able to see them.
Sitting in public without being able to hear and see what is going on around me does seem like a very weird thing to me. But that's not what's being talked about here.
