I dont see how this ends up any differently than ML1. Relatively good headset that has some technical advantages, and is obviously impressive at some level for what was produced with smaller amounts of money, but for what? It still has major disadvantages, and with the stability of ML compared to Microsoft, I wouldnt particularly put long term faith in the former if I was a company looking to purchase these.

The whole thing definitely looks like a ML1 holdover from when they thought they were going to somehow hit the consumer market.

Personally I think that a simple birdbath design with a decent display is one of the better ways to enter the market if you want to move a relatively large amount of units.

Also Karl Guttag is an amazing blogger. His articles are the sole reason why I got seriously interested in AR and NED hardware. Now Im looking to make part of a career out of it.
