Integrating the technological demands of AR into an iconic piece of eyewear

Brilliantly fusing the technological demands of AR into an iconic piece of eyewear – Magic Leap’s innovative next-generation augmented reality headset ‘Magic Leap 2’ enables direct interaction with 3D digital content seamlessly integrated into the physical world. 

“With our vision of a world where the physical and digital are one – our mission is to amplify human potential by delivering the most immersive AR platform, so people can intuitively see, hear, and touch digital content in the physical world” says Magic Leap.

This futuristic one-of-a-kind product is skillfully positioned to revolutionize the way people work throughout a broad range of enterprise scenarios, including – healthcare, manufacturing, construction, defense, education as well as training.

Featuring industry-leading optics for top-flight image quality – it’s one of the smallest, lightest headsets on the market, making it minimalistic, versatile and ergonomic to use. 

The platform is composed of a headset, compute pack, handheld controller and an array of integrated sensors as well as cameras that – map the physical environment, enabling direct interaction between 3D digital content and the natural world. 

Users can effortlessly interact with virtual objects via – head position, hand gestures, eye gaze and the controller. 

Spatial audio further enriches the experience with directional sound – locating the source relative to a user’s physical position.

“Human-centered design and ergonomics were a top priority when developing Magic Leap 2 hardware. A linked design – compute pack and headset – reduces the weight on the spine” Magic Leap adds. 

It additionally places the processor and battery in the compute pack close to the hip and the lighter weight optics as well as sensors on the head.
