My first year at Magic Leap and the opportunity ahead

>>74d-fe+(OP)
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.

Is this much different from the Hololens?

>>Aunche+nj
Hololens 1 and Magic Leap don't have much of a difference. The Magic Leap has a greater FOV

And yet ML had to raise almost $5B to get to around ballpark with the Hololens which I assure you Microsoft invested substantially less money into and already has tens of billions in government contracts committed to use the thing.

What they could do, if they figure out the right play, with the right hardware, is make this a really compelling active entertainment device. You already saw haw popular Pokemon Go was... I think locking eyeballs to locations has VC's interested.

>>leetro+Ep1
Yes, but Pokemon Go was popular because it was on a phone you already had, because it was an extremely popular franchise, and because of the good luck of being a fad at the right time.

Nothing else took its place, and, while still being popular, it quickly faded from the status of global phenomenon.

It's a nice money making game, but not a hardware seller.

Most people I knew who played Pokemon Go quickly turned off the AR feature anyway.
