MagicLeap reveals prices and availability of ML 2. Finally, MagicLeap has revealed information about the price and availability of MagicLeap 2. These are all right considerations, but it is also true that MagicLeap has much better visuals. Top news of the week.
By merging the work being done at Luxexcel and WaveOptics, the two companies are promising an AR headset that is more streamlined than existing solutions such as Nreal or MagicLeap. From there, designers create a ‘smart layer’ that can embed technology such as WaveOptics waveguides, holographic films, and even an LCD screen.
MagicLeap finally materializes into a product some of us can actually buy, yet the real test will be whether developers take the bait. There’s only so much “we know something you don’t know” you can take before it starts to become annoying, but MagicLeap simply would not take a hint.
The 2018 Sigur Rós and MagicLeap collaboration, Tónandi , demonstrated what can be possible with an immersive and interactive AR music experience, though not currently available on all platforms. Possibility for a New Mode of Discovery. Music and… Miniature Golf? VR game Walkabout Mini Golf. Guest Post.
Of course the other ones are pretty cool and pretty inherent to AR and VR, too (for instance all the talks about graphics can be useful also for the graphics of XR applications, of course). And of course, my will is to report you all that I’ve learned there and also to give you awesome interviews. More details.
He has joined Rony Abovitz at MagicLeap and now he’s there, trying to build the MagicVerse as the SVP of Creative Strategy of the Florida company. People knew it was not possible to do that: the film resonated because only in a simulation, only in virtual reality you can cheat time and space. MagicLeap glasses.
Seems like they’re zeroing in on Maps as the sweet spot for XR and tossing everything else, like their Daydream headset, their investment in MagicLeap, Poly, and finally Tilt Brush, overboard. Of course, for long term success, there has to be a source of recurring revenue, which leads us to this next story.
Best Art or Film. Sony Electronics Head of Business Development, Thaisa Yamamura, presented the Auggie Award for Best Art or Film. MagicLeap VP Product Marketing and Developer Programs, Lisa Watts, presented the Auggie for Best Enterprise solution to Avataar. All these four awards are decided at the conference.
Raindance Immersive , the VR-related part of the Raindance Film Festival, is taking place from October, 26th to November, 26th. One of the samples is a giraffe in the hands, which clearly recalls the elephant in the hands of MagicLeap. But enough talking about me… let’s dig into the best AR/VR news of the week! Learn more.
The news of course has attracted a lot of funny comments, like “these dogs have better hardware than me”, or the invention of new terms like “Dogmented Reality”, or “AR Doggles”. This week until October 18th you can enjoy the London Film Festival, that this year is held all in VR in a custom platform called The Expanse. Learn more.
It’s been called the AR Cloud by many, the Magicverse by MagicLeap, the Mirrorworld by Wired, the Cyberverse by Huawei, Planet-scale AR by Niantic and Spatial Computing by academics. Augmented vision is commonplace in futuristic films, from Minority Report to Iron Man. Who Will Own the Metaverse? by Marko Balabanovic.
Another interesting thing is that Pico is not copying Meta or MagicLeap in proposing inside-out tracked controllers : these ones still have a tracking ring. Venice Immersive is the VR branch of the Venice Film Festival. The VRChat community of course made memes about what happened Funny link. Learn more. Some XR fun.
The Future of MagicLeap After Ross Rosenberg was appointed MagicLeap’s CEO in October 2023, the company has since focused on its enterprise roadmap for 2024; targeting its XR devices towards enterprise and industrial clients. MagicLeap started to understand that these walled gardens are not their future.
The old Reverb was already a great headset, with a 2K per eye resolution that was above all the other headsets on the market (with the exception of Pimax, of course). You can look for the world “VRrOOm art, films and fest” from tomorrow Monday, 30th afternoon on VRChat and enjoy this intriguing virtual festival! See you there!
Of course, not everyone wants to—or can—be on their feet for long periods, and plenty of immersive entertainment, like watching movies, is sedentary. Hand and finger tracking, gesture interfaces, and grip simulation: Leap Motion: Manus VR: Neurodigital: Gestigon: Handpose: Usens: Dexta Robotics: Minority Report (film).
The 10-week course instructed aviation staff on using its Manifest platform. Trainees could use Microsoft HoloLens 2 and MagicLeap headsets, as well as tablets and smartphones for the platform. The former Hangar 51 alumnus demoed the immersive entertainment system in 2019 to host films, documentaries, and travel programmes.
And we (the content creators) are not competing with some dude who just bought a Gear360 and is filming his dog’s first steps – we’re competing for eyeballs with Game of Thrones , Peaky Blinders , Taylor Swift, Snapchat, and Instagram. And I mean actual magic – not the VC Kool-Aid-drinking Magic-Leapmagic.
High-quality models are the best choice for visually compelling industries, like film and video production, advertisement. And, of course, I would advise everyone to keep reading skarredghost.com. Is there more interest in high-quality models for visual renderings or for models for gaming? There is a market for every type of model.
It’s funny because it’s quite a known car, of course — they only make 100 of series, like how the Pagani Huayra Roadster, I believe there were only 100 made. This one is, of course, flipped to VR and especially screens, because a lot of the clientele will want to use it on screens. Barry: Yeah, that’s true.

This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and MagicLeap. They continue to support and collaborate with outside companies, of course — you’ll probably be able to use Google Maps on the Vision Pro, for example — but I wouldn’t expect the competitive atmosphere to change much.
Most people know Xu due to his dispute with American virtual reality company MagicLeap. In June 2019, MagicLeap accused Xu of stealing AR glasses technology when he was an engineer working at the firm. Chaitanya has had a multi-faceted career in the Indian Film & CreativeArtsIndustry for over 17 years.
And of course, they're also a Canadian company. And then, of course, this Canadian company comes along with this pair of glasses that look literally like just a normal pair or glasses, the arms-- everything just looks like a normal pair of glasses. Would it be-- is it a film or is it a--? Stefan: Right. Alan: Oh, my God.

Of course, there’s familiar faces like Charlie Fink. Anne-Marie: MagicLeap’s doing a workshop. We actually did a project — that will never see the light of day, unfortunately — we filmed the world’s largest cannabis facility in VR, in 360. — Cathy Hackl. That’s important.

I’m generally an optimist, of course. Question: From a prioritization standpoint as far as investments, are you looking for the next MagicLeap, or are you looking at content platforms, content creation, codecs? Feature films go to China, they go to India, they go everywhere. Above: Pixvana lets you capture scenes in VR.

At Tilt Five, we designed a really clever system that only works on tabletop experiences but it has features that are just leaps and bounds above what the big MagicLeap or HoloLens type AR systems are. If a family can afford spending the money for 4 MagicLeap Ones, they can play this board game together (Image by Road To VR).
We were commissioned to bring a five-minute VR experience that they had filmed, giving behind-the-scenes look at the Rangers, the Knicks, and Billy Joel live on stage in 360 VR. And of course, they can reach out to at LumiereVR.com. And that was because they were bringing film first to the Pacific Science Center.
And of course, you know, I’ve never been on a Bobcat before, but I thought that if I can– Alan: How hard can it be? Raj: Of course, I think I have space in my lab for one now, so who knows? Raj: Yes, of course. So I just went down to the local place and rented a Bobcat and had it delivered. A racing simulator.

But before talking about it, let me invite you once more to visit the Venice VR Expanded virtual worlds that we did in VRChat for the Venice Film Festival. This sounds like black magic and it is really fascinating: using eye tracking and other hints, the system may understand what is that you want to hear, and filter out all the rest.
But over the course of a year, I can’t even imagine what the savings are for almost any-sized company. We’re not tied to MagicLeap. Clean it off, of course. That’s a huge reduction in stress. Not to mention, like you said, the reduction in travel is a huge reduction in cost. Play a demo.

Beyond the Wall was created by HBO and Framestore, the Oscar-winning studio known for their work not only in film and TV, but also immersive experiences such as the Game of Throne -themed VR activation Ascend the Wall , and the recent MagicLeap GOT experience The Dead Must Die.
But over the course of a year, I can't even imagine what the savings are for almost any-sized company. The technology path is moving so fast that if you'd said, "hey, we want to make a five-minute training thing" three years ago, you would have to print the 3D mounts for the cameras, and go out there, film it, stitch it. Play a demo.
This would be a huge result, for two reasons: It would confirm that Quest 2 has gone beyond the magic threshold of 10M units, which is important to start a virtuous circle of adoption It would mean that Quest 2 has sold more units than the last generation of XBox. Tribeca Film Festival is going to happen also in VR.
The SIF will showcase 44 immersive projects , including 6 large-scale installations, 21 interactive experiences, 9 films and 8 VR films in 8K. Of course, I want to tell you everything about my adventures, exactly as I did when I went to Taipei. And these just to name a few. I want to make you feel as you were there with me.
VR also dominated the pop culture, featuring prominently in films like “Johnny Mnemonic,” “Lawnmower Man” and “Virtuosity.” It’s easy to see how, in the early 1960s, such a system could be viewed as a logical next step beyond the film and television of the day.
