I don't think HoloLens is the one that plays nice with everything, just that they seem to be targeting the level i'm looking for. "A virtual screen you strap on your face". MagicLeap is "An OS for VR/AR stuff that you make apps for", and that's not what I'm personally looking for regardless of how many other OSs it will integrate with. My "perfect" AR system is one where I can run Slack, Chrome, my code editor, a few terminal windows, and more, all unchanged. And MagicLeap looks like it will never be that. HoloLens will, even if only on windows. Now I might be wrong, and MagicLeap might knock it out of the park and become a new "category" of device like phone apps did, but I still can't use a phone OS to do real work outside of a few choice situations, and I REALLY want a VR/AR device that lets me do real work. I wish them the best, and while I get annoyed at every article that talks about it handwaving away the tech and calling it "magic", I hope they do well, because more competition is always a good thing, but from what I've seen they aren't making a device for me. |
