As stated in the video description, this was all shot directly through Magic Leap technology and no special effects have been added. Honestly, I think is where augmented reality tech from companies like Magic Leap and Microsoft are really going to shine.
 
haha I don't really know why this made me laugh. Guy stands around in a room looking at jellyfish on the ceiling and shoes
 
Once the AR/VR goggles are sized and weighted like sun glasses then I'll be interested (if the price is right).

I'm not an early adopter when it comes to new consumer technology, I like to wait for things to stabilize before spending my hard earned cash. And some tech I have no interest in at all, IoT for instance. Which is actually kind of funny since I'm an embedded developer who spent over 16 years in the industrial control industry. Controlling the home should be right up my alley.
 
This is it. A good representation of what the augmented reality work life will be. Mobile devices will soon be able to drive such a AR experience; and you can work from your front porch, and then talk a walk and continue to work with such technology. No need to be tied to a desk.
 
I see good things in our future but as others I am not an early adopter here just an investor. This was pretty neat, I could see coding my wife as a sexy office assistant.
 
I wouldn't mind getting my meat mitts on a Hololense..
 
Very nice video but in my opinion it needs to come a long way in terms of usability.

  • Only 6 items in your Inbox?
  • Who is dumb enough to buy a product like that based on a 3D representation? (besides Mcdonalds customers perhaps)
  • It seems like there is a lot of head turning/neck twisting to view things.
  • Its a content consumption platform
  • It seemed sluggish and blingy. I'd want to be able to open/close thing and change what i'm looking at much much faster.
  • The guy's daughter needs a grade F for making such a rubbish Mt Everest project. Completely copy & pasted from Wikipedia. :(

Click to expand...

So... what I'm getting here, is that nothing of consequence is wrong with it? :p Of course people will try the real thing before buying it.

I do agree on the Mt Everest project. :D
 
Has Magic Leap actually announced any hardware? They seem to be more an ideas (patents??) company.
Google Glass was pretty cool - but so primitive compared to this video. I'm hoping to have access to a HoloLens in the near future...
 
talk to me when we have some VR/augmented reality similar to what we see in "The Division" game :)
 
I've been wanting a hololens since I've seen it. The price of 3k is a bit of a downer, but I hope it is how I'm hoping it is. Plainly awesome!
 
This may have been shot 'through their technology' but the background was clearly rendered and this was not an actual augmented reality experience.

So many unanswered questions. For example what defines the location and distance of the user interface? If the display has no set physical location, how can the user lean towards it and see it from a different angle. Something or someone has to anchor the views to interact with them like this video did.
