Magic Leap One - Super stealthy AR startup reveals its first product

Until AR is integrated into the same type of your normal glasses you wear daily, that can blend in without much notice, it will always struggle to take off.

Pros:

AR is the future. Anybody pushing it further is great.

Cons:

I really don't want to walk around looking like a blind Radar from Mash with a catheter on my hip holding a remote control.

Cool product but your website is broken. Click on Platform Features does nothing on Firefox latest

"Product is continually advancing and may be different at time of shipment" I hope the difference will be this: not this:

I was becoming excited about this product until I saw it is being made in Florida. Nothing good comes out of Florida.

$2B in funding is insane. Would be interested to hear how they did their market research and validated this? Or is this the mother of all moon shots? The AR aspect looks beautiful but they don't seem to have cracked the aesthetics of the wearable itself.

While it, doesn't look like always-wear-on device (bad news), I believe image quality is much better than what we have now (possible good news).

I think we all know what type of content will be added very soon to this. *hint* *hint*

I love how product demo videos never have real world uses displayed. How does she happen to have a 3D Everest presentation that fits on a flat surface? What version of PowerPoint is that? And now let’s shop for shoes while the jellyfish fly above my head. That’s what I normally do on a daily basis. Looks awesome, but they need a demo that’s grounded in reality. Show something that makes my life easier and better. Otherwise this is a solution in search for a problem.

I just hope it can live up to the hype. The hololens has got quite a headstart on magic leap and is pretty similar, so far as I can tell. This first product is going to have to do fairly well for them.

OMG
