That's enough for me to side with these two guys. I think Magic Leap is not that magical after all.
He wrote the Learning OpenCV book but I'm not sure it's accurate to say he created openCV... It was created by intel internally (by a ton of folks like Vadim Pisarevsky) and later open sourced.

No, it is accurate. He was at Intel when it was created, and meeting notes suggest that he had been leading the project.

thanks! -- I didn't know the history. these notes are from 2008 (long after opencv was open sourced) but it's clear from his linkedin page that he was a part of the founding team at intel.
Leading a project inside a company != creating the thing.
Sure it is! What else would it be? It was conceived by immaculate conception?
