Nice solidworks render. What about showing the real product?
- consp 9y agoThat would mean it actually exists. And ideas count more than actual development these days so I don't expect anything in the coming years.
- tfha 9y agoI've been waiting for the MagicLeap ICO.
- t_fatus 9y agoI'll wait until MagicLeap Token futures exist if I were you
- i_am_nomad 9y agoYou can purchase them with Flooz and Beenz.
- ci5er 9y agoYou must be older than you look.
- moron4hire 9y agoAll of the imagery on the front page of https://www.oculus.com/rift https://www.oculus.com/rift is CG
- TeMPOraL 9y agoBut Oculus actually has those products on the market, and unlike Magic Leap, it's not universally recognized as vapourware.
- moron4hire 9y agoYou may forget what 2015 was like. The Oculus Kickstarter was in 2012. By 2015 there were a lot of people questioning whether or not the CV1 was actually going to happen. Yes, we had the DK1 and DK2 at that point, but we're not actually talking about a very long period of time here. Magic Leap first formed in 2010. It's said that the iPhone took 7 years to develop, basically in secret, for an established company with consumer electronics experience, with other products to live off of. I've been pretty critical of Magic Leap and their teasing in the past, and while we haven't seen any real evidence that the product is real, we also haven't seen any real evidence that it isn't.
- IshKebab 9y agoI remember, and I don't recall anyone seriously doubting whether or not CV1 would happen. Plus, as you say they had publicly available prototypes. The original Kickstarter had real videos of prototypes and John Carmack saying it was great. Totally different situation.
- mustacheemperor 9y agoThat was my first reaction as well, but there is one article online by someone who's used the device. It sounds more mature than I assumed it'd be viewing this landing page [0] [0]https://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/features/lightwear-introducing-magic-leaps-mixed-reality-goggles-w514479 https://www.rollingstone.com/glixel/features/lightwear-intro...
- russdill 9y agoWhere does it say they used the goggles? "My first experience with Magic Leap’s technology in action occurred in a sort of sound stage" Note he uses the generalized word, 'technology', and does not say 'Magic Leap One'. Then later in the visit: "My first close look at the full Magic Leap hardware comes in a secluded space upstairs that resembles a fashion showroom."
- tigershark 9y ago"I noticed that when I moved or looked around, her eyes tracked mine. The cameras inside the Lightwear was feeding her data so she could maintain eye contact."
- kowdermeister 9y agoDon't open an IKEA catalog. You'll be disappointed.
- bhouston 9y agoIkea has beautiful perfect renders. This Magic Leap render is pretty horrendous.
- Fnoord 9y agoIKEA's products as listed in the catalogue can be ordered (and, if required, build). Magic Leap cannot be build and has yet to deliver. Even if Magic Leap will ship, their secrecy is unwarranted because they don't have any credit as a company. Compare to Apple's secrecy: they do have credit.
