==What We Know So Far==
==Rumors==
Over the past six years the company has been regularly making headlines and generating a lot of buzz in the tech community.

But, Magic Leap has taken its sweet time to come up with its MR headset prototype.
Until 2017, the company had been regularly making headlines and generating a lot of buzz in the tech community. Expectations peaked in 2014 when it was announced that they have received funding from giants such as Alibaba, Google, and others. But, Magic Leap has taken its sweet time to come up with its MR headset prototype.


The announcement of the impending release of the prototype has come just at the right time. The masses were getting bored of the seasonal updates by the company. Until Wednesday, Magic Leap had been sending out only teasers about what they have been working on. So much so, there were speculations on why there is a prolonged delay by the company to present something concert to the masses. There were rumors in some quarters that the company was facing problems in shrinking its technology to a wearable size. To refute rumors, the company invited Rolling Stone and a few other select media houses to try out its mixed reality prototype.

===Unanswered questions===
The invitation extended to Rolling Stone and the privilege given to its reporter to try the Magic Leap One System has raised questions from certain tech enthusiasts. Some are asking the reasons for choosing Rolling Stone instead of tech media houses such as CNET or Wired. While many are going gaga over the announcement, some have been very guarded in their response.
Talking at length about the secondary computer in the goggle, Rony Abovitz, the founder of Magic Leap, said that the hardware has a Wi-Fi, drive, and quite a few electronics bundled inside the headset. But, the founder or the company failed to explain how the whole system works, the type of operating system used, speeds of CPU/GPU in the system, and the full hardware specifications. The masses are yet to know whether the internal components can be upgraded in the future. Will the upgrade be expensive? What are the system’s energy requirements and how is it powered? Etc.
