Magic Leap Finally Unveils a Mixed Reality Headset

Oculus is all nigh virtual reality, Microsoft is a mixed reality shop, and Apple is all-in on augmented reality. Then we have Magic Leap, which has been promising us something amazing for years now without actually unveiling anything. That is, until today, when we got a wait at the Magic Leap One.

As you can probably judge from the epitome above, Magic Jump is finally ready to bear witness us what its own mixed reality headset looks like. Flying goggles come to heed, but overall information technology's quite a streamlined unit of measurement.

Two cables extend out the back of the headset, which feed downward into a circular, chugalug-mounted hardware unit. Magic Leap refers to this as the engine that "drives our spatial computing platform." In the hand, there's a wireless controller offering force command and haptic feedback with half dozen degrees of liberty, polish movement, and intuitive gesture response.

Magic Leap promises an experience like to what is already offered by Microsoft'southward HoloLens, including mixed reality gaming, the ability to fill up the real world with persistent, lifelike digital objects, and soundfield audio calculation to the overall "real" feel of the experience.

In that location is too a focus on "pulling the web out of the screen" suggesting Magic Leap will offer a web-first 3D experience. Add to that the power to project multiple displays, "exist present anywhere" when talking to friends or co-workers, and getting creative using that wireless haptic controller.

Of form, before consumers get to buy one, Magic Spring needs developers. A I kit creator portal will launch in early on 2022 offering access to an SDK, tools, documentation, other learning resources, and a support organization. After that, it's all almost content and what developers manage to create.

Once the programmer launch is out of the style nosotros should hopefully hear most a consumer launch. Will that happen in 2022, too?
