Magic Leap's main product might be more than meets the eye. According to Quartz [1], there's probably more far-fetching tech that Magic Leap is working on that involves "deep learning techniques utilizing robotics," and Bradski's and Kaehler's termination forced their hand to divulge even the least bit of information. Maybe "artificial reality" is not a misnomer and the $4.5bn valuation is not just the AR.

And maybe I have the secret to cold fusion open in a text file in front of me. Are you looking for an investment opportunity?

Deep learning and robotics qualify as far fetched tech? Anyone with a laptop and one of a dozen open-source frameworks can get started with deep learning today. Rendering a 3D object that blends in real time with a person's perspective of their physical environment and beaming it directly into their retina seems far more far fetched.

Perhaps the deep learning using robotics is simply related to this larger task, for example controlling the projecting element to account for retina movement or something similar.
