How are we even surprised. They are the Theranos of AR. They pushed the 'fake it until you make it' mantra a bit far, and now reality is biting hard.
Hopefully they will still trigger a revolution of some sort... but this was predictable.
This is way overblown. They have at least a Hololens equivalent, and if you value occlusion, they're ahead. And that's without Microsoft's reach. Equating them to vaporware isn't fair at all.
Also, from the reviews that I have read their software seems to be pretty good, at least when it comes to spatial awareness and surface detection.
Most reviews are positive but main problem seems to be the price and the fact that the overall end-to-end experience still feels pretty rough.
Have you used one?
Both.

The difference is their product works (to some degree) as opposed to being total vaporware like Theranos.
Mind that the advertised technology relied on Fiber Scanning Displays and extensive computing power – and I'm not aware of this having been refined to a producible and marketable item.
The original product is still vaporware.
Pretty sure they had an original product that was definitely not vaporware, the issue is it turned out to be not scaleable at all.
A product that is obscenely expensive and therefore can't be sold as a consumer device is not vaporware.
