I am totally excited about this development especially since magic leap is so expensive and collects so much data about your surroundings I would be a little concerned about it. Leave it to leap motion and the open source development community to come up with a 3D printed solution that looks pretty close to a consumer grade product for 1/10th the price of a Magic Leap headset. Of course it does not include a processing pack put runs off your PC. I just think it's great that people are making an effort to get this off the ground. Some people are offering complete build for 600 dollars that includes everything. I on the part of doing something like this want to do as much of it as I can instead of buying one built already. Optics was the big part of getting this off the ground and it's nice to see someone has gone ahead and found someone to produce them. The displays are also a little bit of an issue but some people have found suppliers. It's 1440 X 1440 per eye or somewhere around that range.

FOV VS various other headsets really impressive.

Still not the most attractive thing but compared to other solutions it offers higher resolution and advance 3D tracking.

Issues
"This display driver board is a direct clone of the one from Leap Motion’s original North Star design, and was engineered specifically to drive the two BOE VS035ZSM-NW0 displays.

All boards are 100% QC’ed and tested with a BOE display before shipping out to you.

The display driver IC is an Analogix AN7530 controlled by an Atmel ATSAMD21G18 (the same MCU at the heart of the Arduino Zero) running Analogix and Adam Munich’s firmware.

Firmware source, Altium design files, and Gerbers can be found in the Project North Star GitHub repository.

Note: The AN7530 on this board is not provisioned with an HDCP key, nor is it whitelisted with NVIDIA or AMD. That means that with any GPU driver released in at least the last couple of years, you won’t be able to use SteamVR Direct Mode with this board, no matter how many Vive Trackers or other sensors you add. Blame the movie, tv and recording studios, because they’re afraid that you might watch pirated copies of their content while in VR. HDCP is a DRM scheme about which you can read more here. Let’s just say that they absolutely will not issue keys for an open source design. Sorry to be the bearers of bad news but, at least for now, you’ll be running your North Star software in extended desktop mode."

"The big plan, as it were, is to offer a kit with a price below USD350, so it can be affordable for almost anyone who wants to build their own version of this groundbreaking AR headset."

Damn. 3d printing is going to be something insane in 10 years.

The display board for using two 1440 X 1600 OLED displays.

I found a supplier for the 1440 X 1600 displays at 109 dollars each so it would cost a little more like 220 dollars for the displays. I have to order them from Shanghai so it could take a few weeks to receive them. When I get around to buying them.
