Almost a direct quote from the presentation: ML is an additive device, meaning the darker an image is, the more transparent it is.
But in practice it probably isn't a problem. All that matters is that they deliver killer apps. What you can do with mixed reality vs the PC is what counts.
Remember how lifechanging the original iPhone's google maps integration felt? I used to get lost. No one ever gets lost anymore.
We need something like that for the mixed reality space. It's too early to know precisely what that could be, but we'd be betting on the wrong side of technology to dismiss it out of hand.
- drcode 8y agoThe problem is that they've been making lots of promises but then also publishing misleading demos that seemed to disobey the basic laws of physics (i.e. demos showing subtractive image synthesis in a compact form factor) which makes it hard to take any of their tech claims seriously.

GPS plus maps is such a great example of how quickly and pervasively tech can embed itself until it's almost hard to remember a world before it. Tropes like refusing to stop at a gas station to ask for directions? Gone. I have a bag of maps in the back of my car. Haven't opened in years.
