If you have not experienced the magic leap videos do not do it justice.

Heres my video flying inside my house:

The jaw dropping aspects:

- it correctly knows when to mask for the column

- it does lighting effects from the planes headlights

- it does particle collisions with my furniture when it crashes

- it crashes by detecting i hit the wall

It really is amazing tech but it is very unpolished. But I am very hopeful they keep pushing and it gets cheaper and more people can experience it and develop for it.

This is like the amiga. We are at the infancy of AR.

TBH that's better than I expected. I'd call the column masking "barely adequate" rather than "correctly" but it's at least making an attempt to reconstruct the scene and do additive composition in realtime.

Wasn't the real breakthrough meant to be to do with variable focus lightfield voodoo meaning that the rendered components looked like they 'fitted in' with the scene and could occlude as well as be occluded, rather than being additive CGI floating in front of it?
