Worth watching Tested's review on youtube ▶ this video I was expecting typical astroturfing and there is a bit of that. But they are also tempering expectations.

Not many technical details from Magic Leap themselves, unfortunately. I'd recommend you check out the [Tested review][1] and [iFixit teardown][2]. [1]: ▶ this video [2]: [link]

The article reports on the lawsuit, but is light on details about the headset. Tested recently did a 10 minute review on this headset, the 'Nreal Light' [1] [link] Regardless of the merits of the lawsuit, I can see why Magic Leap would be scared. The AR glasses looks great. They're certainly stylish enough for the mass-market -- they look like normal glasses at first glance, they're quite reasonably priced (at $500), and run from a regular Android phones via USB-C (for power, as well as sensor and video data). For reference, here's the Tested review for current Magic Leap product, the Magic Leap One Creator Edition: ▶ this video . It retails for $2295. Though it comes with controllers, eye-tracking for focal accommodation, two waveguides displays that are used to provide two separate physical layers to focus on.
