First off, what exactly is Magic Leap? Well, according to their website:

"Magic Leap is an eclectic group of visionaries, rocket scientists, wizards, and gurus from the fields of film, robotics, visualization, software, computing, and user experience."

 

Okay...got it. Not really, though. I guess who they are isn't nearly as interesting as what they do. A few months ago, Magic Leap released a video that got the buzz started.

Have a look:

Pretty cool, don't you think? Well, they were just getting warmed up. They've just released another video that is, according to CNN, "Making the Internet Lose its mind!"

Magic Leap, which got people excited last year with its video of a floating elephant, has a new video that imagines a futuristic video game that incorporates real life surroundings.

 

We see this from the point of view of an office worker whose computer displays -- YouTube cat videos and email inbox -- appear as floating ghostly images. When he cues up a steampunk-like shooter game, the action appears to be taking place in the office.

 

He shoots holes through office partitions and he mows down attacking robots. Then a big burly tank-robot crashes through the office, as sunlight streams in from the outside. Florida sun, presumably, since the company is located in Dania Beach near Fort Lauderdale.

 

Alright, enough talk. Let's see this video that's making the internet crazy:

Wow. And you thought March Madness cut down on office productivity.
