Augmented Reality in 2018. You may hate or love Magic Leap, but the fact that it has released a product is for sure a great news for all the ecosystem : if after all those investments, that startup failed, it would have had a ripple effect on all the ecosystem, making investors lose trust in augmented reality.

Probably Ultraleap, or even when it was just Leap Motion, should have aimed to be bought by a headset manufacturer before all the major XR brands started developing hand tracking internally. This means that Samsung wont go all-in with hand tracking like Apple did. I wonder if they will ever open it up to other developers.
