Looks great. Get back to me when it's real.

Re: Magic Leap One
#92This is actually really exciting. Still not a lot of details on specs or pricing (which is what will ultimately determine whether this succeeds or not), but from what we've seen so far I think this is the first consumer-focused AR product which has the potential to gain a real substantial level of adoption. The Oculus Rift DK1 of AR, as it were. Though with recent advances in AR and VR tech, the Magic Leap doesn't se…
It's a "Creators edition", that doesn't sound cosumer focused at all.

#93They spent a lot of time building this fancy teaser site, but all anyone really wants is a 1 minute video of it doing anything.
Re: Magic Leap One
#94Magic 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". [1] https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/8/13894000/magic-leap-ar-mi...

Re: Magic Leap One
#95Opened the link on a mobile phone. Got a full screen image with the following text: "welcome to day one". OK, let's scroll a bit. This is the text that follows: "We're adding another dimension to computing. Where digital respects the physical."
What's this site about? What's the product?
I understand that designing a website is tricky, but - to me - this site seems an example of something aesthetically pleasing, but very cryptic from a content point of view.
Re: Magic Leap One
#96Good 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 guess no one's wearing this out in public"
Yes. Currently it is birth control for your face.
Re: Magic Leap One
#97Doesn’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…
"The viewing space is about the size of a VHS tape held in front of you with your arms half extended. It’s much larger than the HoloLens, but it’s still there.
“I can say that our future gen hardware tech significantly expands the field of view,” Miller says. “So the field of view that you are looking at on these devices is the field of view this will ship with.

Re: Magic Leap One
#98Since the 1st iteration of the design is apparently ready, why can't they just show a small demo? It's supposed to be shipping in 2018. They could easily have hired a team of top notch creators to showcase some of the capabilities of the device live -even if the device is still not 100% ready- instead of this silly Manhattan project secrecy. I hope they deliver as promised, but something smells fishy. It's a pity, be…
I am not affiliated with Magic Leap. I do know for a fact though that they have many independent teams working to showcase this technology.
That doesn't really explain why they're not showcasing it yet.
Re: Magic Leap One
#99I just find it hard to see how this is different / competes against the Hololens. They already have a couple years of market presence and after all the marketing/campaigns by Magic Leap, the product is the same (with the same qualms like FOV).
I will say that creator studio piece looks great, given Weta and other studio parternships.
Re: Magic Leap One
#100Nice for them to prepare for Apple and their glasses.
