Happy New Year to all, and my best wishes to you Ahhaha, wherever you be.

What I miss, is being able to stick my neck out and have our late host savage the hell out of me. Very salutory.

In this spirit I suggest we might keep an eye on Magic Leap. It's not public but I'm sure one day, if successful in its product development, it might be as a spin off from Google, and possibly more valuable than Google.

The Gizmodo guys are pretty sharp when it comes to tech and have a long article here

gizmodo.com

The best description we have so far comes from the company's press release: "Using our Dynamic Digitized Lightfield Signal™, imagine being able to generate images indistinguishable from real objects and then being able to place those images seamlessly into the real world."

My take on it is something like this: Wearing the equivalent of a pair of glasses you have a choice of "they are here" or "you are there" in real 3D.

Using fancy optical hardware like microreflectors or diffraction patterning devices or perhaps deformable membrane mirrors—which Schowengerdt had been successfully experimenting with for some time—Magic Leap apparently believes it can let you focus your eyes on a virtual 3D object the same way they focus on objects in real life. Seemingly, it'll do so by cutting its 3D objects into slices corresponding to the depth of your gaze, and showing the appropriate one based on where your eyes are actually looking.
