Representing varied approaches from tech giants, it’s been called everything from LiveMaps (Facebook) to Magicverse (MagicLeap). Though naming isn’t as critical as other fundamental aspects of the AR cloud’s construction, ownership and use, it is important to work with standardized language to advance the idea.
In the construction industry, professionals can work together on digital twins of schematics, blueprints, and products in a shared VR world. MagicLeap. The MagicLeap environment today is well-known for producing a host of mixed reality and augmented reality experiences for business environments.
Regarding big brands, I expect Apple and Facebook still to wait a bit before releasing something, while MagicLeap will have to make its move to come out from the quicksands. My duck-face while wearing MagicLeap One glasses. The company to keep an eye on is MagicLeap. MagicLeap should be very careful.
Google has unveiled its Geospatial Creator for Unity platform, allowing developers to preview 3D assets via the Unity Editor. Viewing spatially-linked assets on a hyperrealistic 3D planet map, the toolkit powers ARCore and Photorealistic 3D Tiles via the Google Maps Platform, it said on its website.
Metaroom by Amrax debuts on Autodesk Construction Cloud This week, Amrax integrated its Metaroom application onto Autodesk Construction Cloud, ready for international AEC firms. Samsung is following leaks from earlier in the year, showing how Google and Qualcomm are assisting with developing a Samsung headset.
— MagicLeap, the top-funded company, raised $280 million compared to $1.25 — There were some high-profile flameouts in 2019, including Meta, ODG and Daqri, while others exited below previous funding totals (a veritable down-round), including Leap Motion. 1 — MagicLeap ($280 Million & counting).
These founders are a well-rounded group of leaders and entrepreneurs with a variety of focuses— from combining brain control interfaces with VR for wellness, to creating the world’s first search engine for immersive content, to using AR to accelerate skill sets and reduce costs in the construction industry.
Just like MagicLeap has the Magicverse , this is essentially Facebook’s flavor of the AR Cloud. Back to the “follow the money” construct, Facebook is motivated to make all that happen because it’s running out of ad inventory on the News Feed. Convergence Path.
Snapchat is probably considered a bit of a dark horse by most people when compared to other major AR players including Microsoft, Meta, Daqri, or MagicLeap. The Epiphany Eyeware glasses were described at the time as a more stylish competitor to Google Glass. Here’s my first day of Snapchat coverage from Google I/O.

MagicLeap Inc. , As stated, they are thinking of taking part in a new financing round of more than $500 million, bringing MagicLeap valuation close to $6 billion. It is attempting to construct a light-field chip using an approach known as silicon photonics. Google was one of the first to invest.

Aecom, the American multinational engineering firm, is implementing augmented reality into their business with a pilot project using the Hololens in engineering and construction projects in London, Hong Kong, and Denver. While “VRSE” seemed to be a challenge for some to pronounce, “Within” could be a challenge to Google.
One of the more surprising announcements during the presentation, Spatial Anchors serve as a way to share three-dimensional images compatible with Apple’s ARKit as well as Google’s ARCore. And – one of my favourite touches – when you’re done, you can just flip up the visor and switch back to the real world.

InsiteVR’s latest solution, called Resolve, lets AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) professionals explore 3D models of environments with other people on the Oculus Quest. If you want to help them, there is a dedicated Google Form where you can apply. Resolve lets you explore huge 3D models from your Quest. Well, maybe.
Event organisers and featured thought leaders will provide a space for attendees to learn from leading XR companies that will share valuable insight into real-world enterprise-grade immersive technology use cases such as education, marketing, and construction.
Heck, when I got Google Glass years ago I thought I never would take those off. This is why MagicLeap has a new shot at life that I also didn’t see, due to its cord and lack of consumer experiences. At Trimble, a construction company, for instance, they are working on a variety of initiatives. A lot longer.
Apple is working on hardware but it is reportedly delayed yet again, and MagicLeap seems to have lost its flame before being able to enlarge enough its consumer base. That is an extremely ambitious task, but it is one that has made its way to companies like Google.
Austin McCasland is a UX prototyper working with Google, and he and Alan chat about the finer points of UX design for AR. He's designed and developed Paint Space AR, named by Apple as one of the best apps of 2017 and currently works full time at Google as an AR Interaction designer. Austin: Thank you for having me, excited to be here.
An avatar can pop up, but it’s also communicating technically-complex things, like someone has constructed a car, or a lot of people have constructed a car, and a lot of other people need to produce that car. I can ask Google questions now; Voice, Amazon, Alexa, and Google Voice. You can make those things visible.

In 2013, after 10 years of creating video games, he joined MagicLeap where he was promoted to senior director, overseeing content and SDK teams. At MagicLeap, Paul recognized the lack of accessible tools for non-game developers that was hindering widespread adoption of immersive and spatial computing technologies.

Ideas on the ground and on board: The airport industry first began toying with wearable technology with the release of the original Google Glass in 2013. Additionally, the growing popularity of AR and VR in architecture, engineering and construction has implications for the future of airport renovations and new airport design.
For example, Microsoft is gearing up for a 2024 industrial Metaverse roadmap, which sees the firm working with groups like MagicLeap and Qualcomm to provide immersive workplace solutions that operate alongside pre-existing technology stacks. The Vision Pro device is due in 2024 for $3,499.

GB: MagicLeap is a big presence in the AR discussion. Outside of the sort of people in this room and in the games press, I don’t think most people know what MagicLeap is. When you talk about investment, certainly MagicLeap has garnered the most, but ODG just closed a big round. GB: Google Glass.
So things like Uber or Google Maps and directions were native to the phone, that were kind of useless on the PC. And rework in the world of construction is about a 60 billion dollar problem. If you want to do a construction site, you need better technology than that just to enable the use case. “Don’t do what I did.”

It wasn’t quite like the demand MagicLeap or HoloLens, where the holograms were in a positional space; it was more this heads-up display to give you almost, like, superpowers. Vuzix and MagicLeap. On the mixed reality side, you have HoloLens and MagicLeap, and those can give you full spatial computing.

Alan: One of the startups that we’re helping, they’re looking at taking CAD diagrams, blueprints, and then importing them into the real world so you can stand in a construction site, and see the blueprints overlaid on top in the exact position of where they should be. And that’s just in North America. Alan: Yeah.

You’ve got a ton coming out, now; you’ve got the Hololens, Hololens 2, MagicLeap, nreal, Realmax, Vuzix, North glasses, Epson MOVERIO, Google Glass. And now, everything’s gonna just work with your current BIM systems (if you’re in construction), or your CAD diagrams. Alan: I agree.

More info Meta may partner soon with MagicLeap The Financial Times this week reported a very unexpected piece of news: Meta may be working on a partnership with MagicLeap for the production of AR glasses. MagicLeap has factories in the US and Mexico able to produce AR glasses.
I’d say that through at least 2022, the enterprise will account for the majority of augmented and mixed reality headsets like Hololens and MagicLeap. And then — my brother owns a construction company — we’re gonna take them up there. Carter: All right. Wishing you all, uh, good luck.
