Magic Leaps AR is like amazon was ten years ago. Its hemorrhaging money left, right and center, and it offers something no other is offering right now.

The chance, to be there, have a foot in the door, when this thing explodes and wraps the whole world in a new layer of devices.

And these devices have the chance to replace everything- you can see and must not touch to function. Want a comprehensive list - look around you.

PC-Screens, TV-Screens, Room-Decorations, Pets, Inflated-Ego-Expression - and all of this, in just one room. This can reform public spaces, city's will have themes on a daily basis- yesterday was Venetian carnival, today its inception town.

And the best of it all- none of these goods will require a environmental footprint to manufacture- trade will have a huge chunk taken out- and moved into a steam-like ecosystem. Who's entrance fee- will look like peanuts to the revenue gained.

What about HoloLens, maybe Google Glass 2, and a few other less well funded competitors like Meta 2?

Ten years ago Amazon seems to have had profits of $650 million on sales of $19bn. I think Magic Leap still has some catching up to do.
