Very true. What caught my attention as a graphics dev is how legit their SDK design was: https://rawgit.com/shawwn/magic-leap-docs/master/v0.11.1/api...

i.e. If you imagine writing an SDK for a bag of hot air, it seems like it would turn out very different from what you see there.

It's also small and tasteful. That caught me too. I didn't expect a big company to put out something elegant, but they seem to know what they're doing.

You're right though -- it all comes down to the hardware. We'll found out later this year.



The SDK looks good, but I don’t see any big surprises: it looks quite similar to the Oculus and Microsoft Hololens frameworks. It seems like the kind of SDK a highly competent software team might develop just by extrapolating from competitors’ shipping hardware.


Hey Shawn, I just made my YC account thought I'd say Hi. and yes, it's a legitimate SDK nothing could be more real. I can't wait for the runtime. I wonder if it's anything like the framework you and Adrian have cooked up btw since I'm brand new to YC do you think you could maybe teach me how to mention someone on YC, or is it not something you can do? I'll see you in the morning on slack. :)
