Some videos said they were shot through magic leap technology, presumably they were. The rest are mock-ups and concepts.
- tyingq 9y agoI assumed she was referring to the ones with the overlay text of "Shot directly through Magic Leap technology..." Maybe you're right though.
- DonHopkins 9y agoThe most infamous misleading video that currently claims to be a "concept video" was originally deceptively titled "Just another day in the office at Magic Leap" and described as "This is a game we’re playing around the office right now". Only AFTER they got busted, did Magic Leap retroactively change the title and description so they were not so blatantly false and misleading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPMHcanq0xM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPMHcanq0xM Before they got busted and white-washed the lies, a skeptical Time magazine reporter didn't think it looked real, and asked Magic Leap about it directly. The official Magic Leap company spokesman mendaciously lied to him that "the video was authentic": http://time.com/3752343/magic-leap-video/ http://time.com/3752343/magic-leap-video/ It's unclear whether the video shows an actual game overlaid onto a real-world office space or just an artistic rendering of what the game might look like in the future. The way the gun rests so realistically in the gamer's hand certainly raises suspicions. Still, a company spokesperson confirmed to Gizmodo that the video was authentic. "This is a game we’re playing around the office right now," Magic Leap wrote on its official YouTube account.
