OK that was pretty cool. Remains to be seen how useful it will be for actually working. But it's easy to imagine how this would be nice for showing a design to a client.

If only it actually looked like that.

It gives the impression the camera is looking through a hololens whereas it's just tracking the camera and comping the cg on top making it look totally solid.

In reality the effect would appear as be a ghosted image, because you can't project darkness over a light background. Magic leap is attempting some kind of lcd masking, but the hololens doesn't do it.

Autodesk seem rather fond of misleading marketing.

are you kidding ?
there is not a dime of interaction in there, just a simple tracked camera.
The guy even have to remove slightly his lens to show the maya screen !!
