the magic leap one is a $2,300 ar headset that works nearly as well as the microsoft hololense, except it doesn't fit so if you order one they will send a man to your house to put it on your head

also, if you want a cable to plug it in to the little pocket computer that makes it work, you have to pay another $500, and then another $200 for the lenses if you need glasses

so, lol

I’ve already made a lot of money designing VR apps so I should get on board with AR and make even more.

actually, only half of the rock monster throws something at you, because the other half disappears when you slightly shift your head and the 40° fov isnt pointed at him anymore

hololens 2 will no doubt be significantly better, and absolutely no one will care in the least until apple ships their version in 2022.

i dont doubt that it fails to live up to the deliberately irrational hype they built around it, but im willing to reserve judgment until i try it as to whether its worthwhile or not. its not the kind of thing i could spend $3100 on but if the experience is comparable to the fun of using current vr headsets (which also have enormous issues like the screen door effect and a tech-demo software library) it wouldnt be unreasonable to spend a similar amount of simoleons on AR.

I am kinda intrigued about the multiple focal point light field display tech they are using, supposedly the hologram image is much more solid and believable than the hololens because focus works naturally (if you focus on something close to your face, the virtual objects in the distance become blurry) .. probably less prone to eyestrain like that, too.

But it sucks that it's tethered to an anaemic portable hockey puck computer instead of running off a powerful desktop GPU

Maybe in a generation or two this stuff will be amazing

But from a technology perspective both of these devices do some really impressive position tracking and environment geometry mapping, if only marketing didn't completely gently caress up peoples expectations of what it would be like.
