Did they buy the leftover/unwanted Snap Spectacle stock?! Those things are ugly.

Is their icon a porg????

@kevando_ Love it

I bet these will look super dorky 5 years from now. That's not to say I'm not excited :)

This is not it (whatever it is). AR is the future but it doesn’t appear Magic Leap will help us get there anytime soon.

Looks dumb. Website does a really bad job of explaining what it is.

I just hope it can live up to the hype. The hololens has got quite a headstart on magic leap and is pretty similar, so far as I can tell. This first product is going to have to do fairly well for them.

And unlike Glass or Spectacles, this get up is so innocuous, even with the tethered colostomy bag. No one will block you from entering a trade show or put their arm across their tits, no, that wont happen at all.

I love the AR but the product looks super nerdy - I guess the idea isn't mass adoption - YET? Still, certainly heading into the right direction.

Holy crap it’s not vaporware?

Until AR is integrated into the same type of your normal glasses you wear daily, that can blend in without much notice, it will always struggle to take off.

Pros:

AR is the future. Anybody pushing it further is great.

Cons:

I really don't want to walk around looking like a blind Radar from Mash with a catheter on my hip holding a remote control.

I feel like everyone is missing the point with this product. It's not Google Glass nor is it Snap's spectacles. It's called "Creator Edition" because this is a dedicated AR computer to CREATE AR experiences.

Looks like incomplete wearable. I found the second part of this set.

I was becoming excited about this product until I saw it is being made in Florida. Nothing good comes out of Florida.

hype + wait = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's interesting to see people get so hung up on the way it looks and that it won't take-off until it looks like a real pair of glasses, but I think that might be missing the point. You can see this being used in the home, office/studio and industry where no one really cares what they look like (or don't have a choice what they look like). Sitting in Pure VR for 8 hours a day makes you go a bit loopy but having something that gives you all the upsides but still connects you into the immediate surroundings and the other people in it seems like a huge plus. I do think they missed a trick by not integrating something like Leap Controller into it so you can go hands-free.

Yes! Cannot wait to log in to the oasis and hunt for some eggs.

Can we get custom goggles that look like steam punk wielding goggles ?

Looking forward to getting my hands on this, looks great.

This looks a bit different than the leaked prototype from Business Insider earlier this year. Magic Leap has remains super stealthy over the years yet managed to raise nearly $2B (!!!) in funding, dropping the occasional teaser video:
Expectations are incredibly high, but so is the opportunity. AR will dramatically change the way we see the world, communicate, and interact with technology. It's just a matter of when. Curious to hear what everyone thinks of this. The device is shipping in 2018.

@rrhoover wow those are bulkier than I imagined! Hopefully it is a lot better than the holo lens. I tried the holo lens and it was underwhelming.

@rrhoover I think this is actually going to be a big leap forward. Followed since its birth, I've found many "philosophical" aspects that Rony is taking care of, matching my thoughts regarding how this kind of things should be done, that he's breaking my quite hard barriers. Plus, I like the website :) And the "Platform Features" section is poetry coming from another world.
