Is this much different from the Hololens?
Hololens 1 and Magic Leap don't have much of a difference. The Magic Leap has a greater FOV
I must admit I'd forgotten about Magic Leap, amazed to see they're still going and raising even more money. In my head, I always put them in a bucket with Theranos and uBeam, Startups who made product claims which experts in their fields said were not possible. I guess slick marketing wins over those doubts in some VC circles but you wonder if anyone at the early stage Magic Leap investors is getting asked tough ques…
What was it that experts said wasn't possible about Magic Leap? My understanding was that their product was a more advanced version of the tech in Microsoft's HaloLens and the primary challenges for both were bringing down the cost, expanding the FOV and DOF, and finding realistic use cases.
Microsoft went the enterprise route, like Google did with Lens, while Magic Leap tried to release something that felt boutique.
Does anyone here work with super expensive "enterprise" VR/AR? My gut instinct is that they try to make something good, realize the tech to fulfill their dream is incredibly expensive, then pivot to "enterprise" to get more funding. Am I being cynical?
Here example of enterprise Varjo XR3 (full version cost 6000$ plus 1500$ subscription) from someone only testing consumer VR headsets till now. In short: it's way better than best consumer headsets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOk_M1Ib5F0

If you have not experienced the magic leap videos do not do it justice. Heres my video flying inside my house: https://youtu.be/Grlk03MdScQ The jaw dropping aspects: - it correctly knows when to mask for the column - it does lighting effects from the planes headlights - it does particle collisions with my furniture when it crashes - it crashes by detecting i hit the wall It really is amazing tech but it is very unpol…
I have to say, I've been reading these comments who love or hate ML, treating them as just another internet argument As someone who was following the public hype but never actually saw what they released. This is absolutely completely terrible. The promises they made when they raised half a billion dollars 7 years ago as a stealth company backed by tech geniuses. If this is what they have today, what were they showin…
Is it just me, or is that announcement full of weirdly specific statements. Like "Magic Leap 2 will be the industry’s smallest and lightest device built for enterprise adoption", implying that smaller/lighter devices exist, just not ones specifically built for enterprise adoption.
It’s a contrast against HoloLens 2.

Or are you referring to the ridiculous 12/12/2012 TEDX "talk" that Rony Abovitz performed at the Ringling College of Art, and all the FAKE and DECEPTIVE videos they posted and lied about on youtube, that tarnished Magic Leap's reputation? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8J5BWL8oJY In my mind, they're not as reputable after having given Rony Abovitz a platform to perform that "fudge". Just watch the video, if you can…
It's on the same level as the Hololens 1. So fraud seems the wrong word. Overhyped? Yes. Fraud? No.
Microsoft has never made such unsubstantiated false claims or published fraudulent demos about the Hololens. So no, they're not anywhere near the same level of deceptive business practices.

It's basically the only alternative for an investor who wants to get into AR, other than buying MSFT of AAPL stocks. That's why, despite shipping a V1 almost as good as the HoloLens V1 they are getting funded again.
Problem is, by the time Magic Leap gets it's V2 out there's a good chance we'll be seeing HoloLens V3 in the field.

Would be ethnical majority resident of Mussolini's Italia over Stalin's USSR 10/10. Man the bleakness of those options.
Aren't the the alternatives Germany or Japan? I'm not at all a WW2 expert, but I don't think that decision is quite as clearcut (at least between Germany or Italy). Though the question was about the leaders, and I'm even less confident in my ability to imagine an answer to that question.
