Augmented Reality 101: What is AR and How Does it Work?
Augmented reality (AR) captured the public imagination for years. Now that it’s real, many wonder how it works, how it fits into our lives, and what makes it valuable.
Create innovative solutions for complex problems with the most immersive enterprise AR device.
Ergonomics
Power that doesn't weigh you down
Whatever your industry, enhanced ergonomic design and engineering make Magic Leap 2 suitable for extended daily use.
Over 1,500 face scans and years of research and engineering went into making Magic Leap 2 comfortable enough for extended daily use across industries.
The perfect fit
Magic Leap 2 monitors the position of the Headset relative to your face to make sure it's always fitted properly. If there's an issue, the Custom Fit app will help you fix it.
Weight distribution
At just 260g, the Magic Leap 2 Headset is as light as a pair of headphones, and reduces torsion and strain by keeping its center mass close to your face.
Offloaded processing
The wired Compute Pack shifts the processor from your head to your hip, reducing weight and venting heat. Without sacrificing a bit of power.
Constant rendering
Four eye-tracking cameras constantly adjust digital content rendering to reduce eye strain.
Prescription Inserts
Wear glasses? The Magic Leap 2 Headset can accommodate multiple users with swappable Prescription Insert (sold separately).
Dynamic Dimming™ technology
Use Magic Leap 2 in more environments. Dynamic Dimming™ technology can eliminate up to 99.7% of ambient light from the Headset display.
Control industrial, medical, and natural lighting with its two dimming features:
Global Dimming™
The Global Dimming™ feature dims the entire display without dimming digital content to make text and images more solid and precise.
Segmented Dimming™
The Segmented Dimming™ feature dims specific portions of the display to enhance legibility and clarity of selected content, and can also be used to focus attention to areas or components of interest.
Dynamic Dimming™ technology
Innovate in any environment
Magic Leap Dynamic Dimming™ technology makes augmented reality content more legible and solid across a variety of lighting conditions.
Computer power
Power solutions at scale
Magic Leap 2 is built to run customized enterprise solutions at scale, with one of the highest compute performance capabilities (CPU/GPU) of any standalone AR device on the market.
Compute power
Magic Leap 2 has the most RAM and storage of any standalone AR device on the market.
Its 7nm AMD quad-core Zen 2 SoC chip supports the most demanding 3D visuals and enterprise applications—no matter how compute-intensive.
Segmented computing
Magic Leap 2 delegates tasks between two processors to boost compute efficiency. Its Headset processor handles low-latency tasks while intensive tasks are offloaded to the Compute Pack.
Industry-leading optics
Our proprietary optics stacks have 32 layers in each lens, and are manufactured domestically at our Florida HQ.
Magic Leap engineering and manufacturing breakthroughs deliver an enhanced field of view, clarity, color fidelity, and legibility of text and images.
Up to 70° field of view
Visualize full-body diagnostics, collaborate from all angles, and work on full-scale CAD models with an expansive 70° FOV.
Resolution
1440x1760 px resolution offers stunning clarity of images, video, and text at up to 2,000 nits of brightness.
Automatically, individually adaptive
Magic Leap 2 adapts to each user with its system of sensors, eye-tracking cameras, and world cameras.
Cameras and Time of Flight (ToF) sensor
Magic Leap 2 uses its cameras and ToF sensor to generate over 300,000 precise 3D points to map your environment down to the millimeter. By understanding the world around you, your solutions can achieve better interactivity and account for objects, surfaces, and occlusions.
Industry-leading optics
See more. Do more.
Up to 70° field of view lets you see more. Best-in-class image performance lets you see more clearly. Magic Leap 2 lets you see the bigger picture and scrutinize the smallest details.
Multiple inputs
Precision where you need it
Use the right input for the right task. Multiple inputs allow for flexibility, ease of use, and precision.
Multiple inputs
Different tasks require different tools. Whatever your industry, whatever the task, Magic Leap 2 lets you use the input that works best.
Magic Leap 2 Controller
Some tasks require a degree of precision that gesture can't offer. The Magic Leap 2 Controller uses optical tracking, IMU, and infrared to enable six degrees of freedom tracking—giving you precision and accuracy where you need it.
Additional inputs
Our open platform lets you customize inputs for your solutions. Magic Leap 2 supports multiple inputs like hand and eye-tracking, voice command, and Bluetooth devices.
Simultaneous control
Magic Leap 2 gives its wearer additional flexibility by supporting multiple inputs within apps to be used simultaneously.
Industry-leading spatial audio
Industry-leading spatial audio lets you direct wearers' attention, collaborate realistically, hear around corners, and discern individual sounds.
Give your solutions a sense of realism and presence that allows team members to be connected with their tasks and each other.
Automatic Acoustic Mapping
Magic Leap is developing Automatic Acoustic Mapping, which will accurately integrate virtual audio elements into your solutions.
Acoustic Scene Design
Magic Leap Acoustic Scene Design will enable realistic, useful audio in your solutions. With Acoustic Scene Design you'll be able to define the acoustic properties of rooms, regions, and objects, and account for sound obstruction to deepen immersion.
Spatial audio
Get direction from any direction
Industry-leading spatial audio deepens immersion and presence—making AR solutions and collaboration realistic and engaging.
Magic Leap 2 is easy to set up, scale, and manage. Customize UX and apps to suit your business needs without compromising privacy or control.
Data privacy and cloud autonomy
No connection to a centralized server, cloud service, or telemetry gathering. You own the data you generate with Magic Leap 2.
Seamless integration and management
Magic Leap 2 is easy to set up, scale, and manage with leading enterprise MDM systems. And our Android™ AOSP-based open platform ensures compatibility with your existing IT infrastructure.
Customizable UX
Magic Leap 2 enables personalized solutions to meet the needs of your enterprise, employees, and tasks. Customizable system UI visual design allows easy integration into your existing enterprise identities.
Developed for developers
Open platform for innovation and adoption
Magic Leap 2 offers an Android™ AOSP-based open interface. Developers can use their choice of leading software standards and engines with the Magic Leap 2 open platform.
Dedicated to developers
Magic Leap Developer Support is available to resolve technical issues and provides access to monthly releases of software updates. The Developer Portal gives devs quick, easy access to resources like SDKs, step-by-step projects, code samples, and more.
Easier developing, easier deployment
Magic Leap doesn't lock developers into a closed ecosystem. Develop and ship solutions faster and across multiple channels. No app review, no approval for listings.
