Magic Leap has also gotten a lot of buzz because tech publications are willing to write about them despite almost total lack of details. Look at the article Kevin Kelly wrote for Wired about Magic Leap: http://www.wired.com/2016/04/magic-leap-vr/ http://www.wired.com/2016/04/magic-leap-vr/ It's like 10k words, yet after all the embargoed/NDAed info has been omitted, what do you really learn from all that besides that Magic Leap is some sort of AR glasses and Kelly thinks it's really really really impressive?
- hirsin 10y agoMuch like this writeup, which is mostly a "what if/could be" based on the patent filing. Perhaps it should be retitled "how magic leap might work"
- flukus 10y agoIt's starting to sound like the new IT/segway.
- sapphireblue 10y agoI find it disappointing that there is this aversive sentiment in tech-scene towards groundbreaking, physical technologies like segways, self-driving cars, and now magic leap. I like Peter Thiel's point of view on this issue: world needs more zero to one and less of the same. Note that I'm talking this as an average software developer (I don't work on cool technology at work). I'd like to live in the future and I acknowledge that without huge risky hardware bets the future will be as bleak as present is.
