I'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 too terrible), it's already saving me money.

Good 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 am sorry but the scrolling on website is a bit annoying. For one, it wouldn't move until the images loaded and then mouse is constantly confused between zooming and scrolling up and down.

Whoa magic leap finally hatched. Buddhist philosophy and an obsession with the cgi computers from iron man - I've been mentally imagining how ar labels and menus looked over my real life for years! This is a dream come true

Can't wait to see this in person!

Whoa! Hopefully they deliver after almost five (?) years of promises. I wonder if this has anything with the leak of the initial prototype (a huge backpack you have to wear). Maybe they were forced to release something substantial.

This 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?
