Tim Sweeney: 'You Can Plot a Linear Path from Where Magic Leap is Today to Your Oakley Sunglasses' Tim Sweeney talked about the future of AR HMDs with Shacknews at GDC 2018.

Magic Leap hopes to change the world forever when its developer kit the Magic Leap One Creator Edition releases later this year. Shacknews sat down with Tim Sweeney at the Epic Games booth at GDC 2018 to talk about AR, VR, UE4, Fortnite, and Nintendo Switch. One of the more interesting takes from Tim was his thoughts on Magic Leap and the future of AR HMDs. "You can plot a linear path from where Magic Leap is today to your Oakley sunglasses," said Sweeney. He went on to say that within ten years we will reach critical mass for the market for AR head-mounted displays.

Only time will tell if Magic Leap will be able to live up to the hype. Do you think that Tim Sweeney is right about the future of augmented reality headsets? Let us know in the comments section.
