It really doesn't seem like they have any compelling product for the gaming area - in all honesty with that amount of hardware it could definitely be prettier. It doesn't pick up the room better than a Playstation Vita camera. It can't track objects well enough to keep items in place, and I'd bet they drift over time too. It looks like they really truly have nothing to show.

They're going to ship by September? If they were launching a "console" like the Graeme Devine says you'd have a lot more compelling demos at this point. Please by all means prove me wrong but I can't understand how they could get any more money from Google et al.


That demo video is a disappointment compared to earlier videos they showed. Earlier videos must have had heavy post-processing or a very optimal room setup because their SLAM was rock solid.

This more recent demo shows the common issues with SLAM.. jitter and loss of tracking on surfaces / backgrounds without sufficient visual features.
