I didn't downvote you, but I suspect it's because this whole comment thread is about trying to determine whether or not the video is real footage of Magic Leap's tech. Asserting that it is or it isn't, without something to back up that assertion, isn't all that helpful. Nowhere in the video description does it say that it's just a concept.

> without something to back up that assertion, isn't all that helpful The video credits list Weta prominently - that's alone is a significant signal. The guns are props from Weta too: https://www.wetanz.com/rayguns/ https://www.wetanz.com/rayguns/ CEO Rony Abovitz, who was supposed to go onstage at the TED conference in Vancouver on Wednesday, has canceled his talk. Why would a CEO cancel such a high profile talk and release that video afterwards?

I tested two state of the art augmented reality glasses (university research prototypes) last year. The glass was connected (via cable) to a workstation PC with several high end NVidia graphic cards. One also used Xbox Kinect to track the environment and the arms. Everything shown in the video is already possible, but not with that perfect visual quality and without any latency.
