This seemed especially worrying:
> Tracking was generally good, but objects occasionally shifted or jittered. A few times, animated objects seized up altogether, which might have been an issue with tracking, Lightpack performance, or something else.
I tried a HoloLens last year[0] and, whatever its other fauls, the tracking was perfect and objects moved smoothly like they were actually real. If Magic Leap is behind Microsoft's two-year-old tech, that's a bad sign, especially when they've pitched themselves as being categorically better than all other AR.

- dingo_bat 8y agoMicrosoft's software prowess may well turn out to be the deciding factor if it ever comes to a showdown between hololens and magicleap. I don't see a great big difference in hardware quality or tech. Software's going to be the differentiator, just like in the smartphone wars where iphone won everything in spite of the early hardware being lacklustre compared to competitors.
