Until recently, Brian Kane has been highlighting more experiential demos - like one that puts a porthole to the ocean in your living room - to highlight the power of the Magic Leap, and of spatial computing in general. Magic Leap is one of these Magic Leap devices, you put it on, and your whole world is spatial computing.

Of course, this is an acquisition to work on a long-term vision, not short-term releases. If you built an application without these patterns, the device was useless… an eye-tracking add-on was more practical than the NextMind dev-kit in a VR scene. Magic Leap 2 bridges AR and VR. News worth a mention.

This is because the sales have not been enormous, and the content for it is not exploiting completely its new features (there are some cool uses of eye tracking, but that’s it). The Quest Pro already introduced mixed reality and eye tracking: I’ve seen a few interesting experiments with it, but the device was a total flop.

Facebook wants to use some AI magic to eliminate all what you don’t want to hear and let you hear only what you are interested in. This sounds like black magic and it is really fascinating: using eye tracking and other hints, the system may understand what is that you want to hear, and filter out all the rest.
