Even when shes not posing as a fertility goddess in front of half the flowers in Manhattan, being Beyonc is probably pretty fun. She works hard, for sure, but shes also obscenely rich and world famous. So we probably shouldnt be too surprised that Queen Bey was less than impressed by the Magic Leap, the VR headset thats being hailed as the second coming of augmented reality. According to an article in Business Insider, the company is relying on celebrity endorsements to build buzz for the product, regularly clearing out its Florida offices so VIPs can give the new technology a whirl. But it doesnt always work out as planned:

Some who saw the device, like Steven Spielberg, were pitched to make content for it. But others, like Beyoncwho received a personalized mermaid Magic Leap demo, which the team created on short notice, and was bored by itwere more of a reflection of Abovitzs desire to connect with celebrities than anything directly related to the companys business, former employees said.

Maybe Beyonc found the Magic Leap boring because shes already a mermaid in real life. Or maybe shes simply more of a Sega Genesis fan. Beyonc appreciates the classics.
