Aside from denigrating, I talked to HoloLens developers about Magic Leap new product, and found ...

Finally. After several jumps, the legend of the Dragon saw all the road giant continued "blood transfusion", but no products, was questioned by the company's Magic Leap, last night (December 21), 9 o'clock to shake out a "big baggage"--magic Leap one Creator Edition (hereinafter referred to as ML1).

Then, it is time to sacrifice the Magic Leap for 6 years of big strokes.

Oh sorry, dinosaur urgent Kesse the wrong venue, the original image should be this:

All in all, Magic leap big Evening This release, for a time let VR, AR circle Fry simmer (anyway I have to stay up late writing). Onlookers small partners feeling the most or: well ... Finally came out, and then began to take the appearance of "fun", such as "Do not mind a variety of swimming goggles," "Plastic Steampunk", "Walkman", "ugly", "dinosaur urgent Kesse inside the shape" and so on.

However, the industry is still concerned about ML1 product design. What is known as the actual effect of the digital light field that is more advanced than the HoloLens optical waveguide scheme? Whether the developers will pay for their products. Compared with many AR and Mr Equipments, ML1 have advantages. Where is the imaginary space for actual landing applications? What are the problems. Wait a minute.

To this end, I chatted with the first group of Microsoft Mr Datamesh CEO Li Yu, as a middleware provider between AR/MR devices and applications, he told me about ML1 in the eyes of developers.

Aside from the external denigrating, in all fairness, whether from the equipment capacity, or propaganda scene, ML1 Essence is the product of the standard HoloLens. The application of Digital light field may add a little to the visual effect of the former, but the cost is higher than the latter.

For Magic Leap, there are two key factors to look forward to and determine its future success, one of which is whether to seize Microsoft HoloLens 1 and 2 to activate the market, and whether to build a positive interactive developer platform or community.

However, after all, Magic Leap showed the rendering of the product, and the official itself indicated that "the final offering may not be in conformity with the picture". We do not know at this time how the product is tried, the official has not yet announced the specific hardware parameters, so the report is based on official renderings, the original report and other channels to learn the news of the judgment, for the small partners to refer to the discussion.

Fortunately Magic Leap said that early 2018 can release creator developer platform, according to this time, the real machine hand is likely in the second half, if it did not jump ticket. (Honey Juice Smiles)

The following is 36 Krypton interview Li Yu content, edited, ENJOY:ML1 Product Features: Visual effects, the cost may be difficult to reduce

ML1 the so-called "light field" technology and the HoloLens generation of current optical waveguide technology than, should have a greater visual effect, including the field of view angle can exceed 50 degrees, color reduction and so on. But in the developer's view, there is no essential difference, because these are the platform should be handled by themselves. The same application on different platforms will show the difference, is the platform's hardware and software constraints caused.

As for the split design, in fact, in the AR industry is more common. Braids may be an advantage or a disadvantage in different situations, such as surgery is not very receptive to the neck hanging line of equipment, but the VR heavy players, shopping malls experience area these customers for the neck has a root line is acceptable. The set of 6DOF wireless controller is a good thing, HoloLens is plagued with the controller is too limited to the problem, of course, can also be paired with the other controller Bluetooth solution.

Battery Endurance now looks like a big hole and may need to be plugged in.

Overall, ML1 hardware costs should be higher than HoloLens1. From the rendering, ML1 at least a few more sensors than HoloLens, such as sensors for tracking the eyes. But when it comes to the market, it may not be too high if it is subsidized in the light of nurturing markets. Bloomberg forecasts are around 1500-2000 dollars, below HOLOLENS1 's current 3000 dollar developer version price. ML1 Application Scenario: Partial non-commercial applications

Official website ML1 describes several use scenes, such as display, games, etc., are HoloLens propaganda when the use of the scene, but more partial non-commercial application. Someone read Magic Leap to hit C end, personally feel just not directly to B, but also not directly to C, after all, this is not the first generation of transitional products to do things.

At this point ML1 is very tricky, absorbing a lot of HoloLens propaganda experience. Magic Leap specializes in creating designers, innovators, people feel the device is more fashionable, hardware design is also more retro, hope to bring a cool feeling. Of course, this is a matter of opinion, some people say that this model is steampunk, but as I think more like the dinosaur urgent Kesse number of the knot fan died, maybe aliens also wear Mr Glasses?

In other words, its realization has many AR glasses all cut the industrial market, but why ML1 did not mention any industrial application. I think there are several possible reasons:

Industrial-grade Mr Needs docking data Mr Platform, a simple glasses in the industrial scene does not work, nurturing partners takes time, more difficult

ML1 may have some sensor, hardware-endurance deficiencies that make it impossible to apply to industrial environments

In the industrial Mr Scene, the demand for the technology of the light field is not urgent, and the ML1 competitiveness is difficult to highlight the developers. HoloLens or Magic Leap one.

We have also been in contact with Magic Leap, long ago also from different channels such as investors, partners have a knowledge of its products. Now this compromise version looks at the device capabilities, and the HoloLens is basically one by one mapped. You can say ML1 completely to the standard HoloLens: "Light field" to replace the optical waveguide, one more eye tracking, the same Rgbd-slam, the same space anchor system, the same 3D sound field reappear.

However, due to the late three years, ML1 hardware indicators will be better, the algorithm may be more mature, but can be compared to the future to release HoloLens 2 difficult to say. Our expectation for this device is to see if he can activate the market in HoloLens 1 and 2 in Microsoft, and I believe many of the industry's small partners are the same.

For developers, this one-to-one mapping of functionality between ML1 and HoloLens will make our current applications easier to migrate between two platforms.

For example, we use AR glasses such as Epson BT-300 in industry, it can only realize the projection of 3D objects and simple AR recognition function, although we datamesh the connection between this kind of AR device and HoloLens with middleware, solve the problem of data and knowledge sharing, However, if an application with spatial mapping capability developed on HoloLens wants to migrate, most of the functionality must be discarded, and even this scenario may be meaningless, because Epson devices do not have complete slam capabilities. Put in the ML1, I probably just need to simply adjust the API for the call, because the ML1 function is full.

This means that ml1f easy to pry developers from the HoloLens community. After all, the key to the future success of Magic Leap lies in its developer platform or whether the community can have benign interactions, while the HoloLens development platform is relatively mature.

On the current situation, in addition to HoloLens has a community cohesion, AR/MR glasses have not seen other very good developer cases out, most of them are glasses manufacturers entertain themselves, not to mention the ecology. Lack of a developer community, terminal application development needs to reinvent the wheel, resulting in very low popularity possibilities, the so-called AR SDK Platform company Basic Short board is this.

For example, there is an AR head publicity very fire, claiming to reach 90 degrees of view angle, but in fact almost no one to his home development applications, the SDK is easy to step on the pit do not say, ask questions and no one answered. This Magic Leap can learn from many channel partner experience from HoloLens side, in fact Magic Leap also has a lot of people who jump from Microsoft.
