Magic what?
Nobody outside of a very small, niche bubble has any idea what that is. I'm in the bubble and had to look it up.
- OJFord 3y agoI think Google Glass would've been a better example. Magic Leap doesn't seem to be targeting the same market at all. Fwiw though AVP had somehow passed me by (I think I'd heard of it, but didn't know what it was) until this submission. I'm not sure the general awareness is that high, outside of people that follow Apple news/WWDC/product launches/etc., which is also a bubble.
- sleepybrett 3y agoGoogle glass was the most anemic product i've even experienced.
- OJFord 3y agoI'm not really sure what you mean by that, but I don't think it's relevant - it clearly wasn't exactly a success, but it did come first, and it was the same kind of idea, what was possible at the time.
- sleepybrett 3y agothe constraints they put on it , specifically fitting all of it into a normalish looking pair of glasses, meant that they really weren't going to be able to give it enough functionality to actually make anyone .. want it.
- OJFord 3y agoIt is a much more appealing form factor to me than AVP though. I don't want to work at home with huge goggles strapped to my face. I don't want to video call with people floating in space who presumably can't see me and if they can I look ridiculous. I don't expect it to last/take off if it stays similar to how it is, personally. But normal looking glasses with a sort of information overlay is much more interesting; especially now I have a prescription anyway.
