I’ve tried the Magic Leap before. It’s super cool. In the demo I saw, the software scans the room and gets the shape of the area. It then sets up a coral reef in the middle of the room and you see a giant coral structure with fish swimming around in the air. The field of vision is a little bit limited but overall It’s pretty clear to me that anyone who tries this on will say “wow!”.
The problem is that while it’s a cool toy there’s nothing available that’s im aware it that would make me want to spend much money on it. Right now, it’s more of a cool toy to show off at parties.
So the issue with a video on the website is:
a) it would be hard to have a video that doesn’t oversell or undersell it. Imagine advertising a TV in a magazine to an audience who has never seen a TV before.
b) more importantly, if the goal is to sell enterprise then you are now a sales company, not a marketing company. For b2b businesses a website just needs to look professional enough… No one is actually going to look at it. The sales process is higher touch and will be done either offline or via email brochures.
- warent 4y agoI saw a short video the other day where someone was showing off some VR glasses that appeared to be Magic Leap. They were using it in an aircraft repair bay, where the magic leap would overlay 3D schematics of the internals of the aircraft over the entire aircraft itself. It looked like some kind of x-ray vision. So basically it sounds like this is starting to roll out for use in niche professions.
