I don't know. I suspect they are in damage control mode now and they will in fact release something but it will be more like Hololense then anything they promised and therefore investor will flee and the product will be too expensive and sell poorly; Unlike MS with a larger warchest they will not be able to survive on these sales and will likely be bought up by someone for whatever useful patents they may have. I am not feeling optimisitic about their future atm.

Magic Leap Augmented Reality News: Was AR Demo Video Faked?


Basically it says the demo Magic Leap showed in 2015 to great interest may have been faked, potentially to oversell what the company was capable of at the time. As it turns out, former employees say the video was not created using the Magic Leap technology, but was generated instead by an external special effects company.

So even when it was amazing it wasn't real.
