Magic Leap - How Much Longer Now?

Could do with some good old fashioned Japanese miniaturisation on it

Their CEO was quick to run in when the image was leaked and Tweet that the leaked image was not 'the' system, but a "room monitoring" device they use!!!

Room monitoring?

As with everything else to do with AR / VR at the moment - it's bloody exciting and can't come soon enough.  It's those expectations that we have to control.  Or maybe they should.

Agree. Managing expectations is the failure of all of the AR/VR execs at the moment. Some have paid more heavily than others for allowing the hype-train to get the better of them. Managing of these expectations can be not just clearer statements, and less PR glitz, but also reining in the fan-boys and steering the social media.

Less Snake Oil and more Social Inclusion!

>"Images of Magic Leap’s anticipated portable augmented reality device were leaked to Business Insider last week. According to Business Insider, Magic Leap, a $45 billion Google-backed startup, was hastily finishing building the prototype, known as PEQ0, in preparation for a board meeting this week."

I leave it to you to decide if you believe him ;)

It will come out when my Sixense Stem ships.

I suppose that this discussion may not be as "off-topic" as it was when started - with the news that Oculus VR has just started hiring and forming an Augmented Reality team internally.

For all my complaints regarding the business style of ML - I have to admit that the comments in the presentation about the 'four pillars' and the importance of engaging content are the key factors... that and not looking like a nerd while wearing the hardware!
