Mixed reality devices like HoloLens and Magic Leap are still in their infancy. HoloLens developer editions are available now for $3,000, while Magic Leap has yet to unveil its secrets. Despite this, many people have already started to pay attention to this technology, one of which is Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. In an interview with Wired, Peter Jackson said: "I think mixed (augmented) reality is more exciting than virtual reality. Mixed reality doesn’t take you to a new world, but adds new elements to the real world. This way, you have more flexibility and can add as many things as you want. You can add a talking figure to the desktop, or replace the walls of the room with floor-to-ceiling windows so you can see the clouds in the sky.” He said: "When you wear a Magic Leap headset, you can watch the construction of the Empire State Building in fast forward. You can also walk on the modern streets of Chicago and watch gang members shooting with machine guns. This technology can be used for education, entertainment and tourism. In 10 years, I believe that mixed reality companies like Magic Leap will lead the development of the times, just like smartphones today." Jackson is a consultant to Magic Leap, and his visual effects company Weta Digital is developing a virtual world called "Dr. Grordbort." Despite the huge investments in mixed reality, consumer products are still far behind virtual reality. Cardboard and Gear VR have been in circulation for a long time, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive were officially launched this year, and PlayStation VR will be available to consumers in October.
