In my opinion, the new Magic Leap seems to do exactly what Microsoft Hololens could do two years ago. The only advantage they could have is in the UI, which MS 100% failed at, and in content availability which was really poor for MS as well. This thing could be huge, if the first people who try it on find an abundance of interactive experiences, so much that they rave about it, and make everyone else want one. Best yet, if this all happens in public spaces. Again, personal experience with MS lens is the basis for this, but having played with it, I am not overly optimistic here. This would be interesting.

I think they will have some ability to have variable focus, and it sounds like the field of view is slightly bigger, but not by enough yet.

  The form factor also looks significantly better.

    It's hard to do worse on this than the HoloLens. That headset is ridiculous. Uncomfortable and hard to position correctly.

If it’s a true lightfield with full focus from close to infinity then the difference from regular ar/vr to this is as great as from a flat display to at/vr. But the number of people that have actually tested it seems small...
