Midjourney reports first hardware project livestream for June 17 in San Francisco
Midjourney announced a livestream for its first hardware project on June 17 in San Francisco and teased it in replies. Official hints say it is bigger than an orb, can be entered, and is still a few months from wider availability.
TL;DR
- Midjourney's launch post says the company will reveal its first hardware project on June 17 at 6pm PT via a livestream tied to an in-person event in San Francisco.
- In reply to early guesses, midjourney on size said the project is "much bigger than a orb," while midjourney on entering it added that "you can go inside of it."
- midjourney on holographic properties described the thing as having "some holo like properties," which pushed community speculation toward room-scale or installation-like hardware.
- Timing still looks limited: midjourney on availability said wider access is hopefully "a few months" away, and midjourney on recordings said videos will be available after the event.
Midjourney is teasing a hardware reveal with just enough detail to make the replies more interesting than the announcement. You can read the main launch post, check the "bigger than a orb" reply, and see the "holo like properties" hint that sent people guessing about holodecks, rooms, and other physical installations.
Livestream
The official facts are still thin. Midjourney's launch post gives the time, the city, and the livestream, while midjourney on location confirms the event is in San Francisco.
The post also makes clear this is an in-person launch event first, with only a few spare invites for people already in town.
Room-scale hints
Most of the useful detail is buried in Midjourney's replies. midjourney on size ruled out a small gadget by saying it is "much bigger than a orb," and midjourney on entering it said "you can go inside of it."
A third tease adds the strangest clue. midjourney on holographic properties said the project has "some holo like properties," while midjourney on scale described it as "kind of, or at least a single room" when asked about larger physical space.
What people are guessing
The replies quickly turned into holodeck jokes. GenMagnetic's guess called it "Holodeck incoming," and GenMagnetic's follow-up doubled down with a short video riff.
Midjourney has not confirmed that framing. midjourney on expectations only said, "It's not what you expect!," which is about as close as the company has come to correcting the thread's speculation.
Availability
The launch appears to be more preview than product ship. midjourney on availability said broader access is hopefully "a few months" out, and midjourney on recordings said videos will be posted after the event for people who miss the livestream.
That leaves one concrete near-term fact: the public reveal is on June 17, but whatever Midjourney shows probably will not be something most creators can touch right away.
