I said this in a previous thread and I'll repeat it here again.
Magic Leap[1] did it years ahead of them, and in my opinion better.
I mean - they're doing pass-through AR which is silly. There's all this work being done to emulate people and faces when they could just build lenses.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills watch everyone get so hyped over this, because there's literally better devices already out on the mark. This is effectively a $3500 Oculus device. Like what the heck? I know it's just because Apple made it, but still. This is pretty weird to watch the reaction.

- wodenokoto 3y agoDid they do it better though? Their ambition was way higher than what Apple presented, but I've never heard of anyone talk about or write a review about a good Magic Leap device. My impression was that it was complete vapor ware. The demos looked amazing and completely faked.
- AndrewDucker 3y agoMagic Leap didn't do it though. They said they were going to do it. But at no point did they actually do it.
- GenericDev 3y agoThe fact that they've shipped two devices says otherwise? What are you trying to prove by being contrarian? They've shipped products that people are using.
- AndrewDucker 3y agoMy mistake - I managed to completely miss the Magic Leap 2 actually coming out. It's not what they originally promised, but they have delivered something.
- hyperjeff 3y agoMagic Leap 2 is roughly same price point ($3300 base, $4100 dev pro), but so far aimed at enterprise only. Android dev environment. Also Unity integration. Looks lighter to wear. Much lower resolution screens. Interesting comparison point going forward.
