They actually have working tech, it is just huge! You’d have to be tethered to it vs wearing it!

Yep I tried it at a conference and the visuals were actually really impressive. The rig was a bit big though.
Zalanox t1_j27569y wrote
The visuals are sick! They are not on a screen, they are injected into your eyes! Only considering the visuals, could you tell at all the images weren’t real?
Edit: I was incorrect! They use wavelength display! Thank you for the info!!

Screens also inject light into your eyes to form an image.

Nothing is “injected” lol. Stop using that word that’s not what it means

Which is what shining light onto something does.

I mean while technically it makes sense with that definition, that’s not how most English speakers would use “inject”. You’d probably use “projected onto your eyes” rather than “injected into” in your scenario.
EVOSexyBeast t1_j29agyw wrote
I agree
[deleted] t1_j29eklm wrote
Cuz that definition doesn’t make what he said make sense lol. Light isn’t injected into your eyeball by pressure. Please. Please stop.
eatmydeck t1_j2aapn8 wrote
Idk what you’re talking about, that’s what I’m saying; you wouldn’t use it that way. My point was that somebody whose new to the language might misunderstand that definition and think it fits in the context.

Light has no pressure buddy try again

No it doesn’t. Quite demonstrably actually

Here’s another link. Unless you’re disputing Maxwell’s equations you are simply incorrect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

Correct. This is the Change of momentum. Nothing is “injecting” light into your eyeballs. The light bounces or absorbs, it doesn’t create the same pressure in a medium.
EVOSexyBeast t1_j29ig6n wrote
Yes change in momentum is pressure.
Pressure is defined as force/area which is the same as momentum/area/time.
I agree injecting is not the ideal word but i feel it technically fits the definition.

I've never felt the pressure of light being introduced to my eyes.
Ever.
EVOSexyBeast t1_j29j71m wrote
That’s because it’s such a small amount of pressure it’s impossible to notice.

How do you think screens work?

Screens are eye needles, prove me wrong

Uhhhhh injected images? What century do you think we’re in?

They were Star Wars style sci-fi stuff so definitely easy to tell it wasn’t real.

Compared to other HMDs in the high spec range they are garbage.
Magic Leap has been trying to get into the mil simulation market for years and every evaluation I have to do with them always gets low marks compared to Varjo and others that put out products. There “hand tracking” hardware is also ass. Like trying to type with each of your figures being the size of a chipotle burrito.
The industry partners I’ve worked with and for hate them, the soldiers hate them, even there own support staff dog the products when helping setup a demonstration.
