How are we even surprised. They are the Theranos of AR. They pushed the 'fake it until you make it' mantra a bit far, and now reality is biting hard.

Hopefully they will still trigger a revolution of some sort... but this was predictable.

The difference is their product works (to some degree) as opposed to being total vaporware like Theranos.

>>MBCook+O4
The original product is still vaporware.

Pretty sure they had an original product that was definitely not vaporware, the issue is it turned out to be not scaleable at all.

A product that is obscenely expensive and therefore can't be sold as a consumer device is not vaporware.

>>fastba+Dk
A prototype is not enough to stop something from being vaporware.

Edit, to people that disagree: Did they have an even half-finished form? Did they offer it for sale?

Was it "announced to the general public but never actually manufactured nor officially cancelled"?

Vaporware doesn't always mean it's a scam. Sometimes it means there were intractable tech problems. Coming out with a fundamentally different product doesn't negate the missing product.

In this sense, was Duke Nukem Forever still vapourware in the sense that it didn’t end up being whatever the original game would’ve been?
