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.
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.
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.
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.
The wired Compute Pack shifts the processor from your head to your hip, reducing weight and venting heat. Without sacrificing a bit of power.
Four eye-tracking cameras constantly adjust digital content rendering to reduce eye strain.
Wear glasses? The Magic Leap 2 Headset can accommodate multiple users with swappable Prescription Insert (sold separately).
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:
The Global Dimming™ feature dims the entire display without dimming digital content to make text and images more solid and precise.
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.
Innovate in any environment
Magic Leap Dynamic Dimming™ technology makes augmented reality content more legible and solid across a variety of lighting conditions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Visualize full-body diagnostics, collaborate from all angles, and work on full-scale CAD models with an expansive 70° FOV.
1440x1760 px resolution offers stunning clarity of images, video, and text at up to 2,000 nits of brightness.
Magic Leap 2 adapts to each user with its system of sensors, eye-tracking cameras, and world cameras.
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.
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.
Precision where you need it
Use the right input for the right task. Multiple inputs allow for flexibility, ease of use, and precision.
Different tasks require different tools. Whatever your industry, whatever the task, Magic Leap 2 lets you use the input that works best.
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.
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.
Magic Leap 2 gives its wearer additional flexibility by supporting multiple inputs within apps to be used simultaneously.
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.
Magic Leap is developing Automatic Acoustic Mapping, which will accurately integrate virtual audio elements into your solutions.
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.
Get direction from any direction
Industry-leading spatial audio deepens immersion and presence—making AR solutions and collaboration realistic and engaging.
No connection to a centralized server, cloud service, or telemetry gathering. You own the data you generate with Magic Leap 2.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
