I have never heard of this until I was listening to a podcast yesterday that mentioned it. These quotes have me interested

"On Oculus Rift and pretty much every other virtual and augmented reality experience, what the viewer sees is flat and floating in space at a set distance. What Magic Leap purports to do is make you think you’re seeing a real 3-D object on top of the real world."


"In April, the company hired Brian Wallace, who helped Samsung develop its “Next Big Thing” campaign and then joined Google’s Motorola unit in 2012 as its chief marketing officer. At the time, Wallace said seeing a Magic Leap demo was “one of the most profound moments I’ve ever had.”

That’s the kind of quote that comes up with some frequency when people discuss Magic Leap.

Here’s games developer Graeme Devine telling Polygon about his first encounter with the company: “I went out there and had lunch with the CEO. He was drawing pictures of black holes and deep physics on the paper napkins. I thought, this has been a waste of my time. Then I went to the offices and I saw something that I did not think was possible. I like to think I know technology and I am not easily impressed. I worked at Apple, but when I saw what they were doing, I just said, immediately, ‘how can I help?'”"
