If there’s one thing we learned from Google Glass, it’s that wearable technology needs to look good if it’s going to catch on with the public. Secretive augmented-reality startup Magic Leap finally unveiled its futuristic headset on Wednesday.
The headset looks bulky and requires the user carry around a separate pocket-sized computer, called the Lightpack.
The most successful wearable technologies are stylish enough to wear; the first-generation Magic Leap looks like it still needs work if it’s going to find mainstream success.
After years of intense secrecy, high-profile augmented reality startup Magic Leap has finally unveiled a prototype of it futuristic headset.
The device, dubbed the Magic Leap One, may be a technological breakthrough when it arrives next year, but unless it gets a major makeover before it’s released to the public, you can expect it to bomb when it hits store shelves. Why? Because it looks terrible.
Tech: Forget the Magic Leap headset’s many limitations — nobody is going to wear this thing
