The fact that 85% of the normal room lighting is blocked by the lens means that wearing it would essentially be like wearing sunglasses.
On top of that, the diffraction grating also looks like it introduces a bunch of visual artifacts like smearing, ghosting, and rainbows.
If they actually had anything nearly as impressive as they were claiming they wouldn't acted so obviously shady.
So... what do you see that he missed?
I understand that you’ve been very supportive of this for months, but unless you’re invested in or affiliated with Magic Leap it might be time to let it go in the face of the reality.
Expanding on that, maybe with some kind of holographic shenanigans, we can have something that not exactly draws dark, but occludes light very cleverly.
As part of a costume I bought some $4 sunglasses at the thrift store and wore them in a dimly-lit bar the other night. Ended up bumping into people because I couldn't see.
I imagine this is what Magic Leap is like.
Theranos committed crimes and their fraudulent behaviour directly impacted on people's lives. There is no evidence Magic Leap has done either and there is nothing illegal or immoral about pivoting on your product.
Nobody is going to die because of Magic Leap.
That's exactly what Theranos was, until it wasn't.
There's a minimum bar of realism we need to hit to have reasonable AR and VR. The original Vive hit that bar for VR, but nothing has hit that bar yet for AR.
This kind of reminds me of Leap Motion, which is a very cool tech, but I could never find any practical use for it....at least Leap Motions are cheap.
"The original HoloLens has been out for a long time now, so a new (hopefully cheaper) version is overdue, but it now looks like we won’t see it before 2020."

On the other hand there is an amount of money and effort that will persuade people to pretend the physics has changed.
I think overcoming the laptop screen and enabling "portable workstations" (portable like a laptop, not phone) could replace laptops and improve desktop -> laptop workflows.
