Nice solidworks render. What about showing the real product?

#12This is going to sound super dumb and I haven't been following AR / VR at all...but I thought Magic Leap were creating AR technology that worked _without Goggles_? As in projected visible light that I could see with my naked eye? Am I mad?
Yeah, I thought it was something like a holographic projection table.

#13So, we can sign up now, but they still haven't shown the tech to anyone without an extremely heavy NDA? I'll wait for Anandtech or similar outfit to put out at least a tweet about the viability of the technology.
Re: Magic Leap One
#14They've been very secretive in the past in showing actual results, only releasing simulations and videos that look real but aren't (fooling people into thinking they actually had something), and that makes me doubt anything they say they'll release until they show actual specs and actual videos of people using it, opinions on their experience, etc.
At least now they have release dates and supposedly that means they actually have something, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they have.

Their promotion videos certainly made it seem like that.

Yes, you are mad. :)
Magic leap has always been about wearing something - the've just deliberately never shown any of their devices in their videos.

#17Good lord they really needed a decent industrial design team on hand, though I guess no one's wearing this out in public, so good looks probably aren't as necessary. I'm just afraid of the image of people using this causing it to go the way of the Segway -- we all remember how Dean Kamen and team envisioned it revolutionizing intraurban transport, yeah? Anyway, I'm glad to see something came of Magic Leap.
Seriously. Looks like the cousin of an early 2000s Sony CD Walkman.
Re: Magic Leap One
#18I'm happy to see the website stressing something I've thought VR would do well: Act as a display for my computer desktop. I would love to just take my laptop and these glasses with me and be able to have N screens all around me anywhere I want. Imagine working at a cafe with various large displays all around you showing all the windows you have open. If this is cheaper than my three displays (and the resolution isn't…
This would be great. Though, I don't think I'd use it in a café - I might be looking at a huge dump of data, but the person sitting behind where my "display" is might think I'm staring at them.

Good to know :). I won't worry too much about objective reality either then.

Is there an actual difference between this "Mixed Reality" and AR, or are they just inventing a new term for marketing purposes?
