In a nutshell, Hololens has a fixed focal depth of 2m and objects are scaled proportionally to mimic distance. Magic Leap uses stacked optical elements that can be turned on/off (source of the name digital wave guide they use) and each plane is a different focal depth. So, by mimicking the way light would reach the eye normally, the ML results in more realistic objects in the world.
