Price needs to come down and it needs to be wireless. I would wager 3-5 years just for wireless. Could be a decade for price to come down under a thousand. But I also think by then…

Have you seen the breakthroughs that Magic Leap 2 has achieved? Still not at the price point for consumers but it pretty much solves all the annoyances of the first device or HoloL…

The irony with Karl’s blog is that he’s done nearly a 180 on Magic Leap with the debut of their second product. They’ve ironically becciome relevant again, just not in the consumer…

There is a middle ground between hardware being ubiquitous and being like 3D Tv that fizzled out just a few years after launching. VR has been growing exponentially each year since…

People should really google this before asking the question multiple times.

They have two products. The second one has already been getting a lot of praise for two major breakthroughs— the ability to display black and the largest FOV in a see through optic…

Honestly, with high priced dev kits they just need to be given out for free like Valve did with the Vive. Magic leap has given out thousands just to get devs on board.

Not really. Remember that before their device launched they were ridiculed for being too honest and showing the rock throwing guy demo. This was months before you could buy it: htt…

He's underestimating (though not by a whole lot probably). The 6k numbers from the above article refer to the first 6 months sale. Guttag is talking about the last 18 months. Also …

Notice that zero VR companies show you through the lens footage. This is not restricted to Magic Leap. You can find amateur attempts by owners to shoot through Magic Leap, Hololens…

That's just how it goes with AR, you can find some amateur clips people have tried to shoot through the lens themselves but it's very difficult. Even Microsoft doesn't shoot throug…

You’ll actually be hard pressed to find any press anywhere that thinks the hardware is bad.

This was reported just the other day: "The original HoloLens has been out for a long time now, so a new (hopefully cheaper) version is overdue, but it now looks like we won’t see i…

The silver lining is that devs actually really like the device. Despite the hype/reality factor that tainted the initial reviews the consensus is that the device itself is actually…

You either didn't notice or forgot the bad press Hololens endured for misleading advertising: https://mashable.com/2015/10/06/microsoft-hololens-misleadin... https://www.theverge.c…

Most reviews acknowledge that despite it not being a huge technological advancement it’s still the best standalone AR headset. Second, devs love it. Check out the activity on socia…

Ironic that you think HoloLens would be the one that plays nice with every device when it’s already limited to Windows. Magic Leap on the other hand is a less than two week old dev…

Exactly. Take two minutes to look at the last popular posts about magic Leap here and it’s filled with patronizing criticism of anyone that thinks the product could either be real,…

Lots of confusion over this device, which can be chalked up to all the FUD spread around about it. Nearly half the 2 billion they got was in the last year alone. Investors like Goo…

You may notice that nearly half their funding was gained in the last year, well after the existence of their current product.

Not even that really. They got series A funding in 2014. Releases this August. That’s less time than most Rockstar games.

This is a silly question. It just passed through the FCC and is launching next week.

So far it's the only headset coming to market that contains all of the following: Standalone, eye tracking, variable focal planes, hand tracking and a 6DOF controller, and a signif…

This is one of the strongest counter arguments to all the cynicism in these comments. Sure they didn’t give specs but guess what neither did Hololens until preorders opened. The ma…
