Ask HN: How did Magic Leap become irrelevant?

Have you seen the breakthroughs that Magic Leap 2 has achieved? Still not at the price point for consumers but it pretty much solves all the annoyances of the first device or HoloLens for that matter. No longer looking through a tiny FOV, holograms no longer transparent, usable outdoors, first device able to display black. It is quite an achievement.

Interesting. I have only tried the Magic Leap 1, not the Magic Leap 2. Glad to see they are making progress. I am still skeptical that it's not 5-10 years or more away before being something consumers might want, but I won't judge without trying it first.

Price needs to come down and it needs to be wireless. I would wager 3-5 years just for wireless. Could be a decade for price to come down under a thousand. But I also think by then the separate processor wont be necessary anymore, either using your phone or cloud.
