Magic Leap Looking Likely to Leave Augmented Reality in Lurch

Last December it was suspicion over smoke and mirrors, and now it's rumbles over inability for the technology to meet its great expectations:

Our own reporting [VentureBeat] shows that at least one high-level source has worries about the Magic Leap project. Our source asked to remain anonymous. Magic Leap has something like 1,200 employees, and the risk is that some of these workers might leave if the technology falls short of its goals. “They are scattered so thin,” our source said. “They are doing 1,000 things badly. They should be doing three or four things really well. Magic Leap is not as good as HoloLens, and it’s two years later. It won’t be as good when it ships.”

And HoloLens hasn't exactly lived up to its own hype so far.
