Magic Leap One Creator's Edition First Look
This was actually a pretty well grounded article compared to what I was expecting.I'm with the author, I absolutely think this kind of thing will be the next step in computing. It just seems so obvious. Get rid of screeens and wear a headset that lets you put application windows anywhere in your view.I'm glad they questioned a lot of Magic Leap's claims and didn't just parrot back the taglines and act like it's magic.That being said, I don't think Magic Leap is going to be the product that "wins". It seems from this article that it's going to run its own "OS", with it's own special apps, and most likely limited integration with other stuff.I don't want a new "device", a new os, a new "platform", I want a screen that I strap to my face. One that I can eventually connect to my Linux machine, or my windows desktop, or my MacBook. Maybe in wrong, but I feel like Magic Leap is going to die if it demands that kind of integration, regardless of how technically impressive it is.Hololens on the other hand is something I'm giving a good amount of consideration to, because they seem to be focusing on "a screen you strap to your face".
