This article, while pretty negative toward
@rabovitz missed an opportunity to underscore just how big a deal yesterday’s announcements by@Qualcomm were. That means@magicleap will see a bunch of low-margins competition in the market soon which makes its path even more difficult. -
They have two years to produce a follow up device that accomplishes the same price/form factor advantage. But as we all know hardware alone doesn’t sell— see Lenovo’s Mirage Solo that beat Quest to market. The AR market looks lot like VR in 2014.
