It’s kind of like virtual reality, but you are not closed off from the outside world. The glasses let you see everything around you with the computer-created images superimposed. The experience is very cool.
I was invited to preview Magic Leap at AT&T headquarters a few weeks ago, and I spent an hour or so trying to wrap my head around what I was seeing.
Demos included a life-size Jordan Spieth standing a few feet away telling me about each club in his golf bag; a life-size rendering of a working airplane engine that I could take apart, even as the engine was running; a 3D furniture catalog that let me pull furniture into the room so I can see how it looks before I buy; and my favorite, a 3D Angry Birds game that let me walk all the way around the pig fort while trying to knock it down.
AT&T and its subsidiary HBO have teamed up to offer a Game of Thrones encounter called The Dead Must Die that “challenges the bravest of fans to confront a White Walker and lead the fight for the living.”
