I didn’t even know they had gotten beyond vaporware!

Why would someone spend $2,300 on this equipment other than as a developer kit? I assume there is virtually no compelling content or services available to make a consumer interested in shelling out that amount of money, or even 1/10th that amount of money.

It's likely selling to developers. You'll probably see Magic Leap experiences get demos at conferences or popup events. And maybe some niche use cases in industry.

>>zaroth+(OP)
It's still vaporware. I want whatever it is they were suggesting with the whale-in-a-gymnasium demo.

>>zaroth+(OP)
The tech they were hyping (FSD) never materialized and is very much vaporware. Every one following got disappointed when they pivoted to hololens-like stuff...

>>zaroth+(OP)
Same. The only times I've ever heard Magic Leap substantially discussed, including user experience, was on HN. I was under the impression it was still in something like a closed beta.
