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.

Except you can buy the Magic Leap One.

They promised light-field AR goggles, and you can buy light-field AR goggles.

So there was an "original product" that was "not scaleable", "obscenely expensive" and "can't be sold as a consumer device", right?

If we distinguish the magic leap one as a different product, then from what I can see the original qualifies as vaporware.

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?
