> "they clearly don't have any problems creating a physical representation" I watched a couple of minutes of that video and couldn't see any physical representations of the product. Can you link to the point in the video where the device is shown?

  Whoops, fixed the timestamp in my parent comment.

    Okay, well at least they've made physical representations, that's something positive. However, my general point still stands, why so much secrecy over a device that's meant to launch this year? Compare this with the launch of the Oculus Rift, where you had multiple public iterations before the release of the CV1. To me, that's a sign that you had a company that was interested in pushing forward the medium. At the moment there's no clear indication that Magic Leap have developed anything beyond the current market leaders in AR (HoloLens, etc...) in terms of user experience (aside from a smaller form factor).

  Some discussion here: https://www.quora.com/How-are-the-iPhone-iPad-product-photos-done https://www.quora.com/How-are-the-iPhone-iPad-product-photos... I know that historically a lot of their photos that look like renders are real photographs, but I thought the general consensus was that they had almost completely shifted to renders.

Of course they do, it's not particularly difficult to make a non functioning plastic mockup.
