Looks like Magic Leap is working on another mysterious buzzword technology
Magic Leap is apparently working on a virtual reality technology that's so revolutionary it justifies valuing the company at 4.5 billion, even though almost no one has seen this mysterious tech, or knows exactly what it will do. But according to a lawsuit filed by Magic Leap on May 26 and first uncovered by MIT Technology Review, the company isn't satisfied with working on one of the most talked-about technologies of the year; it also appears to be working on some sort of robot. Magic Leap filed the suit against two former employees, including its head of computer vision and AI work, Gary Bradski, for starting a competing company while still employed by Magic Leap. The suit alleges that the two employees used company time to work on a separate venture for at least a year. The lawsuit contains three references to robotics, and specifically Magic Leap's feelings that whatever Bradski and vice president of special projects Adrian Kaehler were up to competed with Magic Leap's own robotics work: Magic Leap's Proprietary Technologies are not limited to its head-mounted virtual retinal display and extend to many different applications and devices, including, but not limited to, robotics.
