Thanks for your informed comment. I was going to say something similar about the Magic Leap, except from a background with less knowledge.

Last month's Wired article on Magic Leap says that they've got the magical depth focus problem solved. Unfortunately it's frustratingly short on details. So I don't think we'll know for sure until it's actually released, but if this first generation of Vive/Oculus doesn't solve the issue, whatever generation that Magic Leap ends up being in might.

All the articles on Magic Leap are short of details. All their YouTube clips have had some questionable element. All we have are breathless investors, a couple of reporters, and the due diligence we assume was behind the $500+ million they received.

Until they show something to the public, I'll give them zero credence of having really advanced the state of the art.

It's hard to escape the suspicion that Magic Leap is the Theranos of VR.

Haha your comment is priceless against its sibling. You're totally spot on.

I won't talk any more about ML specifics but I would say that you should expect VRD to be the standard within 10 years regardless of what ML does or doesn't release.
