Pretty much a recipe for abberations within the camera and lens itself, so it would be hard to say for certainty that they are flaws in MLs optics. Bear in mind the background is dark grey, and the text is bright white and is fairly fine in size. Though if I have one thing to say that I am not sure about, it is the chromatic abberations. The design constraints for optics on ML are about as tough as you could possibly have (thin, light, low cost, wide exit pupil, sharp across frame etc while having to integrate electronics and outside world). Good optics is extremely hard even without being size, weight and cost limited. It is much more likely that the press, like the people here that thought the Star Wars video was so high resolution, don't know the difference between what a high resolution and medium resolution image looks like through a headset.Īgree on the optics, but I never expected great things. If you want to get at the truth, you need to have at least a grain of skepticism. You seem to be starting with their hype as being true than then extrapolating beyond what they are saying. Sure Magic Leap has a lot of money and smart people, but so did Microsoft and a lot of other companies that have delivered real display products.

This is a gap between the science fiction and science fact. The big difference with Hololens is that they are showing what they can actually do at a price (of $3,000). Fortunately I was not drinking anything at the time or I would have to clean my monitor. Thanks for the big laugh I had this morning.

I think Magic Leap saw what happened with hololens and wants to ensure they "under promise and over deliver". This might mean using the device in brightly lit rooms would be fine. Although I can't recall where (and can't be bothered to dig), I recall the patent application mentioning something about this. Per the dark background, I've been suspicious that the background might not be that dark and it is the optics themselves that are causing it to appear dark. He claims you can get right up close to them, see individual strands of hair and "there are no pixels". In their podcast they mention seeing two miniture people playing tag. The Wired guys in particular have said some interesting things regarding the resolution. I think they have demo units that provide very high resolution but I'm not sure they have been able to miniaturise and manufacture. I do think you are wrong about the demos the press have seen though. Perhaps they are using these smaller units to record these demos. That is to say, these demos might be the lowest bar of what they think they can achieve by next year.

Peering through the lens, I spy a crude green version of the same four-armed monster that earlier seemed to stomp around on my palm. It includes a projector, built into a black wire, that’s smaller than a grain of rice and channels light toward a single see-through lens. The smallest demo hardware I’ve seen at Magic Leap can’t yet match the experience of the bigger demo units. It’s clear that getting the technology into that small form will be very hard. In the MIT article last year, the author mentioned that the smaller units she was able to try were low resolution compared to the larger unit she tried.
