Abstract

Last year, just a few days before Christmas, Rony Abovitz’s
startup Magic Leap finally presented something concrete
in regards to the mysterious, so-called ‘mixed reality,’ said
to surpass both virtual reality and augmented reality. The
company has been working on the project since 2011, in
Florida, in great secrecy and with huge capital-risk financing
by some of the major companies in the digital world, among
others (more than two billion dollars have been raised to
date). Basically, this revelation raised only a corner of the
veil which, up to then, had hidden the invention, of which
only a few bits of advance information, well-crafted to arouse
curiosity and interest, had previously been disclosed.
