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:  <\/p>\n<p>      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.    <\/p>\n<p>    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.  <\/p>\n<p>    [via New York Magazine]  <\/p>\n<p>    Submit your Newswire tips here.  <\/p>\n<p>    Previous Newswire Gus Van Sant and Lance Bangs remember Elliott Smith in    an exclusive episode of Say Yes  <\/p>\n<p>    Next Newswire Lets overanalyze these new plot details about    Stranger Things season 2  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See more here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.avclub.com\/article\/virtual-reality-boring-compared-beyonces-actual-re-250035\" title=\"Virtual reality is boring compared to Beyonc's actual reality - A.V.
