This is the first time I've seen someone refer to this tech as "artificial reality" -- interesting!
Old school term from the 60's. Here's a book about it.

Re: Magic Leap Alleges Workers Stole Its Secrets
#12What's with 'Artificial Reality' ?
Trying to muck up the short hand for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.

#13Maybe I should have done on record somewhere sooner, but this is exactly what I expected out of secretive companies like this. Raise a bunch of money, produce nothing of substance, then have some kind of lawsuit action bring in some dough. I'm not sure what the end goal is, but if we ever have a single product from this company I'll be surprised.

You really think suing two ex-employees is their plan to make money? Most of the money those employees have is the money MagicLeap paid them.

#15I guess "artificial reality" refers to this?
Re: Magic Leap Alleges Workers Stole Its Secrets
#16Standard retaliatory tactic so they can tell investors the ex-employees are actually the bad apples and of course not the company.
The impression I get is that the only secret ML actually has is that they are years away from showing anything to validate their worth (by which point many competitors will have shown their cards and removed the 'magic' from the leap).

Companies like to use nonstandard terms so they can claim that they are "the only ones working in the artificial reality space."

#18I'm curious to see if this will result in the general public getting some info to suggest that Magic Leap isn't vaporware.
It'a hard to believe they'd have $1.4 bn in funding without giving some tech demonstrations o their investors.

Is "artificial reality" a term that AR/VR companies are actually starting to throw around, or is possible that the term arose out of reporters mistakenly thinking "AR" stands for stands for "artificial reality" and not "augmented reality"?
Re: Magic Leap Alleges Workers Stole Its Secrets
#20Isn't it "augmented reality"?
