i'm hoping its real... but all that time and all the hype with no substance is confidence shaking. i mean, why would you not allay the obvious fears of investors and potential customers?
there are also the deep technical problems which are widely acknowledged in the field and clearly not addressed. a top spec desktop machine struggles to keep up with your eyes movements /if they are known in advance/ - the idea that a pear of glasses coupled with /any/ peripheral, even one the size of your house, can contain the hardware to do this in real-time is quite far-fetched - even accounting for sensors with feedback and clever mechanical tricks.
there is no mention of how to deal with occlusion. no amount of throwing light at your retina can solve that problem... you need something to intelligently block it out. the marketing hype images make this seem like a solved problem...
maybe there is something that works, but i have no faith that magic leap is anything more than a scam targetting VCs. the same opinion i have grudgingly kept since i first saw anything of it... because its a cool idea and i want it.
i hope these issues are publicly addressed so i can buy it early in confidence instead of waiting to see if its as good as the sales-pitch... which, sadly, there is no indication it will be - because none of the obvious issues have been addressed.
