  From your links: The hardware is yet to be revealed (but it'll presumably use a headset) they waved away the fact that reducing it down to a wearable pair of glasses and an affordable computer was far from inevitable. The truth is that Magic Leap cannot get its huge prototype working in a much, much smaller version. Nobody who knows anything about AR ever thought it was anything but some form of glasses.

    I would argue that the number of people who know much about the technical side of this is less than a rounding error against the population who watched that demo. Edit: Given the seeming impossibility of an FSD like the one they’re still selling to investors, it may be ML’s investors are not part of the “know much about...” side.

      That matters why? The majority of marketing materials for any technology are vague, abstracted and non-technical. That someone would make an assumption about something that they have no knowledge about, that isn't even available to them, means what exactly? You guys are shouting at clouds.

        You seem to be conveniently ignoring the years of patent and investor material, while simply hand-waving away deceptive marketing materials. Worse, you’re adding nothing here except the truly dubious currency of your personal incredulity.
