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.

We went hands on with Apple Vision Pro at Apple Park in California during WWDC23 and were blown away by the best headset demo ever made. Namely, that's to scan a person accurately by quickly using a phone or headset, combined with headset-based sensors capable of watching eye movements and facial expressions to drive the avatar believably.
