I must admit I'd forgotten about Magic Leap, amazed to see they're still going and raising even more money.

In my head, I always put them in a bucket with Theranos and uBeam, Startups who made product claims which experts in their fields said were not possible.

I guess slick marketing wins over those doubts in some VC circles but you wonder if anyone at the early stage Magic Leap investors is getting asked tough questions about why they approved it, or if they've all just moved on to other roles.

I have tried the leap in practice and the experience was significantly above what I expected. The tracking worked most of the time (how???), with occasional wonkyness. The accuracy was very good (outside of the wonks). Where it is very limited is number of applications.

What can one say? I also tried it (have always been fan of new interaction methods) and was severely disappointed. Even the "put reflective stickers on your fingers and use an off-the-shelf wiimote" had better tracking, though it is obviously less convenient.

That said, I am waiting for v2 from these guys and/or anyone else.

They were talking about fingers and we're talking about leap. It's about hands :)

I think you’re talking about Leap Motion, not Magic Leap. I made the same mistake until I dug into the article.
