> a head-mounted virtual retinal display... which superimposes 3D computer-generated imagery over real world objects, by "projecting a digital light field into the user's eye"... Magic Leap asserts that it achieves better resolution with a new proprietary technique that projects an image directly onto the user's retina...
Gotta love it when the headline of their marketing website is a flat-out lie. Most people cannot, in fact, "get" a Magic Leap. It's not even being offered for sale to the public.
When lies this clumsy and big are evident this early in a company's history, the prognosis is poor.
