Deep Dive into Magic Leap, HoloLens and MR's Future

" summary

Compares HoloLens v1, Magic Leap One and HoloLens v2 by hardware and UX: Magic Leap One uses a waist pack with 3× battery vs HoloLens v1’s weak battery, giving continuous time‑of‑flight scanning and noticeably better spatial maps; ML1 adds eye‑tracking via IR and a 6‑DoF controller tracked by magnets, plus dual focal planes and roughly 30×40° FOV vs HoloLens v1 ~29×17°. HoloLens 2 moves the battery to the rear, promises full articulated hand tracking and direct manipulation, and price points sit around $2,300 vs $3–3.5k. Low‑hanging enterprise targets: AEC, healthcare, warehousing, service training and data visualization; Magic Leap funds apps with multimillion dollar grants.
