Magic Leap Finally Demoed Its Headset And It Is 'Disappointing' (digg.com)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday July 11, 2018 @11:00PM from the chaff-from-wheat dept.

From a story on Digg, via DaringFireball: Magic Leap, the secretive augmented reality company that has raised $2.3 billion, finally demoed its long-rumored, much-vaunted headset on Wednesday (and announced that the headset will ship this summer). It was disappointing. Magic Leap has promised big things -- remember the tiny elephant in your hands? Remember that whale jumping out of the gym floor? But the animations demonstrated on Wednesday fall short of those promises. Waaaay short. An executive with Magic Leap, which has long remained tight lipped on its roadmap and commercial availability of its products, said on a Twitch livestream this week that the Magic Leap One, a developer-geared headset, will ship this season. (Summer ends September 22, so the company has 10 weeks to meet its self-imposed deadline.)

"Remember when Linux would be on every PC in the nation and Microsoft would be bankrupt about a decade ago?"
What part of this is misunderstood that the fanboi gallery always has to bring up the phone thing? We were told that Linux PCs would be the end-all-be-all of the computing experience "very soon" and that every misstep by "Teh M$$$$111!!!!!!" was another nail in the coffin. Today all we got is backpedaling fools who scream "Andoirddsss!!!!!" anytime you mention the failed promise of Linux Nation and it's endless ravings.
