The initial  reviews (see below) are somewhat mixed, but tech journalists who have had a chance to test out the Magic Leap One AR headset are — at least — impressed by the effort and the goals of this $2.3 billion funded formerly stealth company.

Initially, it will only be available in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle where it will be delivered and set-up for the buyer.

CNET’s Scott Stein said that “It’s real, and it works. Whether it’s more than a developer prototype, and whether it amazes you, is another story. My initial experience didn’t blow me away, despite Magic Leap’s promises. And yet, I came away thinking it’s the best AR headset experience I’ve had to date.”

The Verge’s Adi Robertson titled his review “I tried Magid Leap and Saw a Flawed Glimpse of Mixed Reality’s Amazing Potential.
