Build with your preferred engine
Magic Leap 2 provides your choice of engines. This includes support for C API, Unity, and third-party engines via OpenXR (coming Q4 2022).
Build without limitations on an open platform
Unlike other augmented reality platforms, Magic Leap doesn't limit your development with a restrictive platform. Develop on Android™ AOSP OS interface standard. Magic Leap supports leading open software standards—including OpenGL and Vulkan—with OpenXR and WebXR (coming Q4 2022).
