Gesture recognition is glossed over in the Rolling Stone article, and Magic Leap is also using a 6dof hand controller. Hololens and Meta also only support basic gestures, since as Leap Motion showed significant power draw is required to run high speed depth cameras.

The eye tracking feature will be a game-changer though, if they really have it working.

Disappointed to see that the advertised game with a team of 55 is robots shooting at you through space portals. Hololens has already shipped two (RoboRaid, Holo Raid).



Yes, the input features alone make Magic Leap a more interesting device to develop for than Hololens, even if the field of view is similar.
