From what I've heard, their original device was pretty incredible, but large, and they weren't able to keep all the same benefits in the portable version. But that original version is what got everyone so incredibly pumped up.
Incredibly unlikely. If sizing was the only constraint, they could've easily showed a real demo of the bigger device. They were just lying.
You're free not to believe it, but this is based on people who were recruited by the company, and that large device is what convinced them to join.

It's fundamentally different from what the ML1 ended up being.

That doesn't match up with what people who know about optics think is possible: https://kguttag.com/2021/10/28/magic-leap-2-pt-3-soft-edge-o...

Yeah, and in that comment he only mentions the existence of focus planes, not hard-edge occlusion (which elsewhere Guttag says is essentially physically impossible)

Magic Leap is just a zombie at this point. NReal has a better and more realistic strategy. Historically, Microsoft doesn’t know how to make revolutionary product lines profitable and sustainable long term. Kinect was an amazing concept with consecutive poor execution. My memory might be off but they also had 1st crack at iPod, and their current foray into both VR and AR are both underwhelming so far. MS does best whe…
> We still will be hitting sci-fi soon. Just not with those companies. I have more faith in Apple, Sony, and Meta. Google will try again and I would be surprised if Amazon didn’t try as well I just had a really weird realization when reading through your list of potential successors. ("Apple, Sony, and Meta"). There's only one name on that list I root for. Meta? Fuck no. Obviously not them. Nothing else to say here.…
I don’t feel that Sony will be the market leader in this round because they are exclusively focusing on games only.

I didn't say anything about hard-edge occlusion? I guess I see that your original comment was about that, I was just responding to the comments further down.

#137Hey everyone. I'm Jade, VP of Product at Magic Leap.
There's a lot of amazing tech in Magic Leap 2, better optics overall including a bigger FoV, better content solidity and text legibility, our dynamic dimming tech, great spatial audio, a powerful processor and GPU.
It's tough to prove to everyone on HN how far we've come, but seeing is believing. If you get a chance to check it out at a conference or event, give it a shot.
Its still early days for wearable AR in general, but we are really focused on making a great and open platform for developers to build their solutions for visionary businesses who are learning how to use AR in practical ways.
If you have any questions about Magic Leap 2, ask away, I'll try to answer everything I can.

If you think a Simula One VR is a substitute for a Magic Leap you probably should be reading more and commenting less about this market.
Magic Leap is vaporware. Got anything ‘real’ to compare it to?
It’s not vaporware, I’ve used it myself. Would I buy it? No. But it’s not vaporware.

Shrug. I'll believe it when they show it to the public.

#140The only use case they explicitly define is for surgery.
Does it do literally anything else?
Vague allusions to "training" and "support" seem like grasping at straws.
