Of all the skepticism, the two most reasonable ones are - quality of the headmounted transparent display. This doesn't even seem to be Magic Leap's core competency and the tech required for a HMD to reach this level of quality is far beyond anything we've seen before. - real-time computation power on a battery powered wearable. It would run incredibly hot and drain so much power unless the guy was wearing a giant battery/CPU backpack covered in exhaust fans. For the other things, 1. The room geometry could have been prescanned and coded in 2. hand-tracking could have used an additional wearable sensor on the hand 3. the AR systems could have been optimized for recognizing the gun (I have worked with systems capable of that) for highly accurate and fast real-time tracking of a non-malleable object 4. and the interactive 3D graphics given knowledge of the room (surface geometry and lighting) is not a big deal at all. The acting (such as recoil on the gun) is a bit overdone and obviously has nothing to do with the technology itself, and I find it weird that the AR actually seems to assume you'd recoil that much and animates the shots as such.

The depth sensing portable Structure Sensor is 95 grams and $380 (Kickstarter). There's noticeable latency in the hand tracking, but a post talks about possible low latency for static objects by using a previous map.
