Actually that's an interesting point - Oculus has shown that you can do tracking and display updates on a traditional display fast enough to appear more or less fixed to the world.

But Magic Leap's display has a physically spinning component. I wonder if you move quickly there is a gyroscopic precesion effect that distorts the display...

Spinning component?

Yeah it's a fibre optic light that spins in a spiral pattern to scan out an image, kind of like a circular CRT.

At least that's what some of their patents describe.
