Magic Leap says a giant nerd backpack isn't its VR system

Magic Leap Leak A photo reportedly of Magic Leap's prototypical VR device is bouncing through social media, long enough to be forcefully debunked by CEO Rony Abovitz. The image sent to Business Insider showed a circuit board strapped to a backpack of someone wearing goggles. But Abovitz took to Twitter to say the image is an "R&D test rig..." Either way, this giant yellow backpack/tethered headgear wear is not consumer friendly—nor do we hope it's the final version of Magic Leap's long-touted VR system. This also isn't the first time Magic Leap has said a news report about its company is false, including a story late last year that stated its demo video was faked. Magic Leap, which has taken in billions of dollars in investments from companies that include Google and Alibaba, has yet to launch a consumer device to market.
