When Google invested a whopping $542 million into the augmented reality start-up Magic Leap, people were wondering what the results would be like. Well, now we know, after they just dropped this amazing demo reel!
We get to see a glimpse of the full feature set of functions are, ranging from accessing websites and desktop apps with virtual icons, to a full on first person shooter aided by physical controllers, using where-ever you are as the level. I wonder how many offices will let that actually fly?
Rony Abovitz, CE of Magic Leap, told Reddit AMA last year “You can think of us as techno-biology. We believe it is the future of computing.”
The only remaining questions are, how soon can we get it, and just how much will it cost?

This is the nuts, yes please love the idea of the first person shooter in the ultimate form
This is no demo…. it is just a Computer generated video on what it may be like. Wish people wouldn’t throw the words demo around so willy nilly.
“Magic Leap Demo” but the player’s hands fly back from the kickback of a virtual gun! Yeah, this is just as believable as the Hololen’s “demo” or the PowerGlove.
I remain unconvinced until I actually try it out for myself in a store.
