MagicLeap, the multi-billion dollar AR startup, could be exploring the possibility of a sale, a Bloomberg report maintains, citing people familiar with the matter. The company’s deep pockets funded the release of MagicLeap 1, an AR headset targeted at developers, enterprise, and anyone with $2,300 to spare.
MagicLeap is one of the most well-funded startups in history, boasting $2.6 A new report from The Information however alleges that the company has seen sluggish sales of its MagicLeap One AR headset, something that reportedly only sold 6,000 units in the first six months following its August 2018 launch.
With the official launch of MagicLeap One expected by the end of summer (translation: days from now), MagicLeap's hype machine just took a big hit with the sudden loss of a key marketing executive. Gattis's resume includes stints at HTC, Qualcomm, Microsoft, and TiVo.
We talk to the first developers to join Microsoft’s HoloLens partner program about what the future of Mixed Reality looks like. Object Theory are pretty much the oldest Mixed Reality company around, having launched in June 2015, before the HoloLens had even started shipping.
We are in the days of the MagicLeap hype : developers that have bought it are posting videos everywhere and every one of us is trying to understand if the device is valuable or not. So, here you are my editorial regarding MagicLeap. So, here you are my editorial regarding MagicLeap.
To significant anticipation, Microsoft revealed HoloLens 2 earlier this week at MWC 2019. By all accounts it looks like a beautiful and functional piece of technology and a big step forward for Microsoft’s AR initiative. Image courtesy Microsoft. “More Than Double” …What, Exactly? From 2x to 5.2x.
Bernard Kress, principal optical architect on Microsoft’s HoloLens team, has left the company to take on the role of Director of XR Engineering at the recently formed Google Labs.
For a category-defining first-gen device introduced in early 2015, HoloLens has had a remarkably long lifespan. Microsoft initially launched HoloLens as a dev kit in early 2016 and later that year made it available in a ‘Commercial Suite’ edition that was positioned toward enterprises. With HoloLens now more than 2.5
A Microsoft-endorsed hard hat solution lets construction workers use holograms on site. Industrial collaboration tools are one of the fastest-developing areas for the Microsoft HoloLens, with many companies such as Object Theory looking for ways to diversify and broaden the market for Mixed Reality.
In comparison to Facebook, MagicLeap, and Microsoft, Canon has been in somewhat of a backseat position when it comes to AR/VR hardware development. MREAL display MD-20 / MD-10 common, interface cable (20m).
All those early prototype images MagicLeap is so fond of showing off are great, but they rank a far second when compared to a new set of images just revealed by Microsoft in relation to the HoloLens. 2015 and kick off the next phase of immersive computing in. 2015 and kick off the next phase of immersive computing in.
and also why the $2+B investment in MagicLeap was not enough to bring it to success. Microsoft too had to lose $10B to let Xbox enter the gaming console market and compete with PlayStation.

Since MagicLeap’s inception in 2011, there has been great innovation in the technology sector focused in the virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR)/mixed reality (MR) space with MagicLeap trying to create a new hardware interface designs. Google discontinued the interface in January 2015.
Google , Intel, Facebook and Microsoft have all either already begun or announced significant VR initiatives in the past 12-24 months. Most recently, Apple hired Zeyu Li of MagicLeap — perhaps the most well known AR company in existence — as well as Yury Petrov from Facebook’s Oculus.
Case Western Reserve University, a world-renowned medical institution, joined the event to reveal how it leveraged Microsoft’s MR tools by combining them with its educational software platform. The company explored 3D modelling and printing, and later, Microsoft debuted its first-generation HoloLens at the time.
But immersive head-mounted AR for consumers has had one major hurdle that Microsoft may have just solved. Inside-out tracking has remained for years an elusive key to the success of AR, but it seems like Microsoft has made a game-changing stride with HoloLens. HoloLens’ sensor cluster has a whopping 11 elements.
On the other hand, firms like MagicLeap and XREAL are receiving millions in funding to potentially leapfrog the forecasted success of Apple’s Vision Pro. He explained that MR displays from vendors such as MagicLeap and HoloLens may not replace classic AR in the short term “because of some regulations and safety aspects.”
The firm’s first XR headset is due soon, and with it comes a spatial computing ambition that draws similarities and differences to Lenovo, Microsoft, Meta, HTC VIVE, and other XR headset vendors. Apple is gearing up for the Vision Pro debut. The Benefits of XR Interoperability and Cross-Pollination Competition is clearly at large.

That year, SITA worked with Helsinki Airport to explore visualizing airport operations with the Microsoft HoloLens. Very recently, Air New Zealand announced a partnership with MagicLeap and Framestore to develop MR content highlighting New Zealand as a travel destination.

IDC themselves predicted in 2011 that by 2015, Microsoft’s then new (and now dead) Windows Phone platform would overtake Apple’s IOS as in the mobile phone market. It should also be pointed out that, as is the case for every market researcher, predictions can easily be wide of the mark.
A collaboration with Valve, the product was introduced as a demo under the “SteamVR hardware system” banner at 2015’s GDC show. In 2016, Microsoft began shipping a developer edition of its mixed reality HoloLens system, priced at $3,000. MagicLeap officially announced its One headset after years of speculation and rumors.
