Magic Leap is a Tragic Heap
The title of this review was carefully chosen, not glibly. I want what is best for VR and all other technologies on the Reality–Virtuality Continuum, Magic Leap included. Unfortunately, their current offering is a tragedy in the classical sense, even more so when you consider how their massive funding and carefully crafted hype sucked all the air out of the room in the AR space.

Also, I go through the process of adding a new game object which serves as a root game object which we will use for scaling our game objects from this parent game object.
The future of Virtual Reality on board

Just imagine: while you, the passenger, are reading your information and watching games and movies in the virtual world, the cabin crew are serving meals or providing safety instructions. How do they go about reaching the passenger safely? How do you deal with turbulence? These are all subjects that we, the guinea pigs, have the honour of testing today.
