This is quite disappointing. Lot of good people I've known who joined this team at early stage are all gone and it shows. Kipman simply didn't seem to get this.

This is quite disappointing. Lot of good people I've known who joined this team at early stage are all gone and it shows. Kipman simply didn't seem to get this. Magic Leap should have at least taught them that it is very bad idea to have so much weight on headset. The AR is pretty much dead at this point and all these push towards creating demos for factories is pure media stunt. They even managed to lure US army and I'd like to know the story of how they did this but from my own experience trying to use Hololens in such situations would be a tax, not benefit. The battery life is miserable, its too heavy for wearing on head and induces headaches for most people. Also, using it in custom situation requires huge amount of software development costs which are rarely justified given inability to actually use the device. Kipman has become an expert in working on projects that has initial oh-ah factor and media appeal but he doesn't think beyond that at all. Kinect's main use case was never gaming. It's too inaccurate for pleasant use after initial wonder fads off. Hololens's main appeal is never creating this virtual world but rather becoming a sensor that can be leveraged in all kind of applications. But that would be the least sexiest thing for Kipman to do and ofcourse that may not generate as many media articles.
