Yeah, I work on VR and know of alternatives to stereoscopic displays. I still maintain that the writer is wrong and doesn't understand what they're describing:

"On Oculus Rift and pretty much every other virtual and augmented reality experience, what the viewer sees is flat and floating in space at a set distance. What Magic Leap purports to do is make you think you’re seeing a real 3-D object on top of the real world."

Good stereoscopic 3D does not give a sensation of seeing something flat and floating in space at a set distance.
