Google-backed startup Magic Leap invited The Verge to Florida for a hands-on of the Magic Leap One, a headset that projects 3D images into reality. The goggles are weird, futuristic, and surprisingly wearable \u2014\u00a0but has Magic Leap\u2019s technology caught up to its ambitions?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Spoiler alert: Nope.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t mean people aren’t still convinced though. Google has pumped over US$2b into these guys and perhaps once its field of view grows to cover the entire lens instead of a paltry 50 degrees I’ll upgrade my cynicism to a “maybe”<\/em>.<\/p>\n
