Andy Rubin backed Hololens competitor, CAST AR, bites the dust

[anon(5415472)]

Employees only found out after a meeting yesterday that they were laid off except for a core group that will oversee the liquidation of assets. Sad.

How is Magic Leap doing?

I think Magic Leap has no idea what the **** they are doing. What I've heard lately is a mix of "still trying to make a device that truly enshews the philosophy of Mixed reality" and "copying the hololens but not saying that they are copying it"

Last I heard they had gone from a light glasses like display to something bulkier with cables. I think they are struggling with engineering their concept into an actual proto.

heh. All their "it's going to be sooo amazing" bluster with zero evidence was getting annoying. I think my brother-in-law has one of their wavy thingy controllers but never uses it.
