Any advantages over the hololens
It's cheaper, and it looks like the controller it comes with has more features than the HoloLens clicker.

#12> We created a new kind of computer so we built a whole new operating system. One that gets the most out of our spatial computing system by working in tandem with digital lightfields and the brain. Lumin OS is fully optimized for environment recognition, persistent digital content and the performance to power high-fidelity visual experiences that turns your wildest imagination into even wilder realities. Super curiou…
"Magic Leap says they have “built a whole new operating system” called LuminOS to take advantage of their “spatial computing system“. It is actually just Android with custom stuff on top, the same approach most people take when they want to claim they have built a whole operating system... I hope Magic Leap does cool stuff in the future, but the current UI is basically an Android Wear watch menu that floats in front of you."

#15I remember the first articles about this super secretive start up from not the Silicon Valley, that did some super amazing stuff, loads of VC-cash and all that.
This thing now looks really underwhelming. The pages full of marketing talk to present basically another (better, maybe) HoloLens.

These days "OS" is basically marketing speak for SDK on top of a Linux kernel.
If that! I've seen company claim to be the "OS of banks" meaning they're a commonly used application for people doing something in a bank.

It's an engineering prototype that you can buy. Hololens was $3,000 and this is better than Hololens.

What's wrong with being a better Hololens?

#19"Both the real world and virtual light rays initiate neural signals that pass from the retina to the visual part of the brain, creating unbelievably believable experiences." So light?
It's a transparent display that lets you see the real world while also seeing what's on the screen.
Edit: it's basically describing the advantage of AR over VR in general.

Microsoft's Hololens is quite a bit more:

Definitely too much for consumers, though. The price needs to drop at least 3x, which it probably will in a couple of years.
