Magic Leap Ripped Off Those Awesome UI Concepts

The Magic Leap images almost look as if they just applied an edge filter to the original videos/images, and then they were cleaned up a bit with an image editor.
occlusion and transparency are really difficult problems for AR. judging from the demo images, they seem have solved them. but I have never heard of any display technology claimed so.
The line drawings are the magic leap drawings, submitted in a patent application.
The other images are nothing to do with magic leap and are screen grabs from art projects or design concepts.

I'm talking about the video on their website:

if they can really achieve this effect, then it will be shocking. if this is just design concept, it is misleading.

they are not patenting the ui/ux - they are showing examples of what their tech (the patent) can do.
This sends a terrible message to all designers and people involved in the industry out there; specially to the ones that are in an early stage in their careers.
