> Magic Leap reminds me of Theranos.

Even if Magic Leap dies on the vine, I don't think they're anything like Theranos except for both being unsuccessful VC-funded companies. Theranos tried to sell fraudulent health care services. Magic Leap is trying (and failing) to build a real product. You can buy one and see what it does, and nobody's health is impacted if their experience just sucks.

Theranos failed to sell automatic blood testing machines to the military so they pivoted to providing services of questionable repute.
