Augmented reality startup, Magic Leap, has recently uploaded a stunning short video clip of the project they have on the works.

With the search engine giant, Google, backing them up with $542 million and a video concept showcasing a typical day in the workplace, consumers get an idea of what to look forward to when it hits the stores.

The company was also in the headlines when it became quiet after securing funding from Google. According to a report by Recode, Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz was a no show at the TED conference in Vancouver on Mar. 18.

Moreover, a meeting with Reddit Ask ME was also cancelled the last minute. And now, the game developer company comes up with a clip, unclear if it is a stylized demo or the actual game demo itself.

The teaser starts as the supposedly player sorts through different icons and selects game. Next, he grabs weapons and starts shooting at virtual robots coming out of walls.

Meanwhile, the game's concept shows resemblance with Microsoft HoloLens in a way that the game is presented by way of virtual images popping out as if they are in the midst for real. A kind of virtual reality game that the user need not have to go inside the game.

As the player shoots, scorch marks get into the walls and ceilings as enemies are blasted off. Other weapon options include a cannon and a fake pistol.

And although Magic Leap is not ready to disclose any details on the game's specifications, the company was able to make a buzz which consumers are excited about.

An article featured by KHON2 described the company's technology as "cinematic reality" which apparently, is a combination of augmented and virtual realities on steroids.

In 2011, Magic Leap was established in Florida, with the vision of putting its consumers on top, saying computer and technology should fit the needs of people. 

With the funding it received from the SEO giant, the company's board of directors now include Google Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai.
