There is all this hype for Magic Leap in these days, but so few people can try it, because it costs too much and ships only in selected regions. I wanted to make the Magic Leap experience available to more people, that’s why I’ve made a Magic Leap One emulator for the Vive Focus. Well, sort of. Look at the video… 🙂
Yeah, of course, I was kidding. Vive Focus has some AR functionalities, but can’t reach the high level of the augmented reality of HoloLens and Magic Leap! Anyway, if you’re interested in trying this little stupid Rock Throwing Guy app on your Focus, you can download it from here. And if you want, I can also provide you the source code so that you can develop Rock Throwing Guy for all the XR platforms you want (like for instance the cheap AR viewer Aryzon) and feel like wearing Magic Leap even if you are poor. If this is the case, contact me… I’m not sharing the Unity solution publicly because it contains a lot of downloaded assets (and also some poorly written code!).
I hope that everyone will take this for what it is: just a bit of satire on Magic Leap, to laugh a bit. So don’t consider it too seriously... I know that Magic Leap One is actually a good device. The problem is all that happens around it…
And that’s all for this super-short video post! Let me know your impressions in the comments section… and see you tomorrow with a new post about my Chinese experience…
UPDATE: The experience can now be found also on Viveport M: look for “Rock Throwing Guy AR” and enjoy!
