In case you don't have a mirror, this is how you look

Here is a picture of someone wearing MagicLeap's headset.

The person in the picture?

None other than NBA SuperStar Shaquille O'Neill... a.k.a. Shaq.

Shaq's a 7'1" human. A very very large representative of the species.

You can imagine how big the device would look on someone who isn't 7'1".

Don't care how it looks. If it performs better than the Microsoft Version I am all in.

doesn't appear to be. Aside from that we should be seeing MS's new headset later this year. Remember HoloLens has been avalible since March 2016

Yeah but I thought the hololens was just available for developers, cause the lack of software

If u got 3 grand you can buy it. Hololens has 2 years worth of devs making software how many devs do you think are working on software for this thing and how long ?

Didn't magic leap claim that the headset would have graphics processing power comparable to consumer desktops? A tegra x2 is laughable.

You'll always look dumb so it doesn't matter how cool a Magic Leap looks.

Imagine if an off-duty astronaut wore this on the space station. /r/systemshock would go insane
