Sorry, No Fiber Scan Displays For those that only want my conclusion, I will cut to the chase. Anyone that believes Magic Leap (ML) is going to have a Laser Fiber Scanned Display (FSD) anytime soon (as in the next decade)…
The Goal – Explain What is Magic Leap Doing Magic Leap has a way of talking about what they hope to do someday and not necessarily what they can do anytime soon. Their patent applications are full of things that are totally…
