"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?
Is it just AR? Or is it something different? All the hype for so many years showed console level graphics in the ads but the real videos show low quality android level graphics.
I haven't seen anything that differentiates it from Hololens at this point. Their 'waveguide' tech apparently allows it to create graphics in focus at 0.5m and also at 5m, but having items become out of focus with the rest of the world, never seemed like a hindrance to me since if I wasn't focused on it, well, I wasn't paying attention. They have eye-tracking tech but aren't using it yet. The Palmer piece (Magic Leap…
Was the part at the end about the Airbender and zuko a dig at journalists?
Magic Leap raised boatloads of money, which game me the impression that they are really building something mass market that can be useful for most people in this world. I am not into gaming and have kids, so cannot wear AR glasses in my home and walk around. Are there use cases for Magic Leap that support non gamers ? Or is it mostly a niche product like an Oculus ?
Does anyone know what would be a good way to start dabbling in developing environments/experiences for these and other AR devices?
Cool to see tech like this moving forward. Still think we're 5-10 years off from folks really adopting this stuff heavily (especially with a higher price point like this), but man, it's going to get wild. $50 says one day Alexa will just be sitting on your couch, taking on whatever form you'd like (e.g., Bill Murray, snacking on Fig Newtons waiting for commands). Does anyone know what would be a good way to start dab…

AR will definitely be the way forward for all computing. This brief awkward period of 50ish years using analog inputs and physical screens which we are currently living through will be seen as a blip in the history of human-computer interaction hundreds of years from now. However the only use case for this iteration of the technology is for developers to begin working on new interaction paradigms and app ideas for AR in general. We're still years away from true consumer tech but I can admit as someone very familiar with VR/AR hardware that the Magic Leap One is a solid evolutionary step forward from what we've seen so far. I'm not impressed enough to buy one yet, but at least the company has shown they aren't total vaporware at this point and hopefully they can keep improving.
