This is Apple's first gen which, as usual, is 8th gen for the general market. Magic Leap and HoloLens have been in production for years. Looking at reviews of this product it seems they've upgraded the optics and horsepower and tied it in to their app ecosystem. But I don't see how they've solved any of the baseline usability issues. The controller-free gesture tracking is how a lot of earlier products worked it's really just not comfortable at all. Physical controllers are far more responsive and ergonomic.
