They really need to add "blockchain based" to the description.

#42Magic Leap has a track record of outright lying [1]. Everything in this "unveiling" looks like CGI. There is no store and nothing is shipping until "2018".

Re: Magic Leap One
#43Good 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.
I think the worse they look, the better, that way they can be developed to be useful in private and professional spaces, without anyone being tempted to take them out in public.

#44Doesn’t seem any different from Hololens. Can somebody fill me in?
Maybe you're not very familiar with the Hololens. It looks very different to me. The "goggles" look seems to indicate the rendering will cover the full field of view. The computer pack seems to indicate they are either going for greater visual fidelity or longer battery life (or both). And the controller is more akin to the desktop VR systems than Hololens' janky hand gestures (though I would honestly prefer someone just solve hand gestures already).
This is a lot more different from the Hololens than the Vive and Rift are from each other.

#45In all seriousness, porn would be an amazing application for this technology.

2018 is less than two weeks away, though.

Is there an actual difference between this "Mixed Reality" and AR, or are they just inventing a new term for marketing purposes?
I think it's a marketing term that differentiates AR apps that live on your smartphone screen from AR apps that you use through goggles.
Re: Magic Leap One
#48Nice solidworks render. What about showing the real product?
That would mean it actually exists. And ideas count more than actual development these days so I don't expect anything in the coming years.
Re: Magic Leap One
#49I'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…
That's my intent as well: use MR to replace monitors, then progressively switch to monitor-less apps.
There may be a limitation, though: resolution. If we are have 9 virtual monitors, each displaying content at 2500x1200 (random pick), performances may not follow.
But then I guess, we only need to focus on one at a time. Maybe those additional monitors could work if we lower resolution of those not directly where our eyes are looking at, and just blur them for good rendering.

#50I have to scroll down to the 5th and 6th frames to learn what this product is for?
