11Will Magic Leap’s Mixed-Reality Goggles Show Up?
There’s been a lot of hype about Magic Leap’s mixed-reality goggles. But when Magic Leap finally unveiled the goggles on Dec. 20, the company was criticized for a poor design and not revealing much about the headset’s features. Now, all eyes are on CES, where Magic Leap will either steal the show or disappoint those who had hoped for much more from this promising startup.
