There's a very big difference between thinner and lighter, and transparent. All the viewing comfort afforded by a retina display is wasted if your eyes are constantly distracted by whatever is behind your iPad. And for augmented reality the rear facing camera will give you the same experience without the drawbacks. Oh, and designing a tablet that will encourage more people to hold it up like those people who takes pictures with it at concerts etc. is just plain wrong.
B&O once made a remote with a see though screen. It was really cool, but also pretty pointless.
