Big deal. Employers always allege trade secrets theft in any dispute with their serf...I mean, employees.

#32I guess "artificial reality" refers to this? https://vimeo.com/166807261
That's one of the better dystopian visions of the future I've seen.
I don't want to move my hands, legs or any other part of my body so much. I watch stuff on my phone because I am too lazy to watch on TV . This stuff seems like so much work, do you really want to move pieces of puzzle when you can just flick your thumb.

#33The reluctance for people to be skeptical of anything to do with Magic Leap is strange to me. How is their product not rightly described as vapor ware? I feel like I've been hearing about how amazing it is for ages and still...nothing. Stories like this aren't helping me change my mind either.
I am not even sure what ' deep learning techniques utilizing robotics' even means.

#34Standard retaliatory tactic so they can tell investors the ex-employees are actually the bad apples and of course not the company. The impression I get is that the only secret ML actually has is that they are years away from showing anything to validate their worth (by which point many competitors will have shown their cards and removed the 'magic' from the leap).
Yeah, they just can make a deal - drop the case in exchange for former employees silence about whats going on in the company...

#35Artificial Reality... I like that term. A blend of augmented reality and virtual reality. To bad it's AR though

What does that have to do with Magic Leap?

#37This is the first time I've seen someone refer to this tech as "artificial reality" -- interesting!
Old school term from the 60's. Here's a book about it. http://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Reality-2nd-Myron-Krueger/d...
Yeah, I saw the history of the term from Wikipedia, but curious as to why they dug it back up.

#39Magic Leap's main product might be more than meets the eye. According to Quartz [1], there's probably more far-fetching tech that Magic Leap is working on that involves "deep learning techniques utilizing robotics," and Bradski's and Kaehler's termination forced their hand to divulge even the least bit of information. Maybe "artificial reality" is not a misnomer and the $4.5bn valuation is not just the AR. [1] http:/…
And maybe I have the secret to cold fusion open in a text file in front of me. Are you looking for an investment opportunity?

Yeah but you still need to time travel to 70s using a bus to spend your points on groceries...
