Is this much different from the Hololens?
- croes 5y agoHololens 1 and Magic Leap don't have much of a difference. The Magic Leap has a greater FOV
- busterarm 5y agoAnd yet ML had to raise almost $5B to get to around ballpark with the Hololens which I assure you Microsoft invested substantially less money into and already has tens of billions in government contracts committed to use the thing.
- leetrout 5y agoWhat they could do, if they figure out the right play, with the right hardware, is make this a really compelling active entertainment device. You already saw haw popular Pokemon Go was... I think locking eyeballs to locations has VC's interested.
- tsimionescu 5y agoYes, but Pokemon Go was popular because it was on a phone you already had, because it was an extremely popular franchise, and because of the good luck of being a fad at the right time. Nothing else took its place, and, while still being popular, it quickly faded from the status of global phenomenon. It's a nice money making game, but not a hardware seller.
- tdeck 5y agoMost people I knew who played Pokemon Go quickly turned off the AR feature anyway.
- leetrout 5y agoThe magic leap os is some funky linux / android thing so I think it loses out to Hololens right there. The ML seems to scan rooms better and "lock" things in space better but the HL seemed to have a better resolution (_not_ field of view) when using "normal" apps. They are both competing on field of view now with the next generation of devices but the ML beats the first gen HL hands down on the larger FOV.
