Nreal optical hardware is closer to ODGs and very different to Magic Leap. Magic Leap acquired ODG patent portfolio recently (after effectively killing them via some backstabby acquisition shenanigans) and is now opportunistically patent trolling Nreal and the increasing amount of Chinese competition (Nreal has much better visual quality at a much lower price) using post rationalized accusations given current US-China climate. And on queue, Bloomberg Tech does a Bloomberg Tech on the story.

Could you elaborate on how Nreal is closer to ODG and different from Magic Leap?

Are you making this up?

I don't see any patent claim being mentioned in the article.

I think he didn't mean that literally.

"Patent trolling" as in extorting someone who successfully implemented some idea just because I have some claim to comming up with vaguely similar idea first.
