Can Magic Leap Deliver on Its Big Hardware Reveal?
Rony Abovitz has never been one for direct information. Over the past few years, the Magic Leap founder has confounded people with not-exactly-updates about his company’s not-exactly-vaporware mixed-reality system—especially on Twitter, where he’s been given to statements like “We are not chasing perfection - we are chasing 'feels good, feels right'. Tuning for everyday magic.” So last week, when he dropped this teaser, many assumed it would lead to just another YouTube video of frustrating breadcrumbs.
Not this time.
On Wednesday, the obsessively secretive company finally revealed the first solid step on its journey to spatial computing. Or at least pictures of the hardware that will enable it, along with some scant details.
