Google and MagicLeap today announced a “strategic technology partnership.” Meta and Samsung’s similar Gear VR project faced a similar fate. The company publicly announced last year that it was working with both Samsung and Qualcomm on just that. MagicLeap has had starts and stops of its own.
I thought it would have taken me a lot before I would be able to try the MagicLeap One , but luckily this has not been the case. At a certain point, I asked him: “oh, you said me that you have tried MagicLeap… how is it?” The three component of the MagicLeap One. I was amazed.
According to a recently published patent application filed by Samsung, the company may be developing a foldable AR headset featuring a built-in display that automatically activates when the device is unfolded. Of course, filing a patent by no means guarantees a final product will ever see the light of day.
I’m sorry about that, but it’s still a miracle I’ve managed to write it… Top news of the week (Leaked image from Samsung video) Samsung is back to XR with Google and Qualcomm The big news of the week is that Samsung is back to XR. This is huge because we know that Samsung is able to always deliver good hardware.

My duck-face while wearing MagicLeap One glasses. The company to keep an eye on is MagicLeap. MagicLeap should be very careful.
This trend will continue in 2021 : the new LiDAR sensor, which is rumored to be installed in all future iPhones, will for sure be copied also by Android phones (Samsung?) MagicLeap will meet its fate. Duck Face, MagicLeap One, and me. What about MagicLeap ?
I got immediately hyped about this: we are all dreaming about AR glasses like MagicLeap or HoloLens 2 , but what if the future was made of AR contact lenses? Me doing a duck face with a pair of MagicLeap on. Of course, you can look through. What is the current status of the project? in the future.
It had a compelling reason to exist, which is why Microsoft directly competed against iPod Touch over the course of three device generations before eventually giving up the goat in 2011 and discontinuing the third-gen Zune. Three years later it released HoloLens 2, which directly competes today against MagicLeap Two.
There is no official confirmation on this, and I hope to be wrong because having to use earphones would be a big hit to its comfort Release date and price : of course the release date (will it come before or after an Apple headset?) MagicLeap 2 has inside-out tracked controllers. and price (will it be affordable for PS5 users?)
The spatial line-up of brand partners represents a range of enterprise end-users, such as Adidas, Vogue, Ready Player Me, OpenSea, Polygon Studios, and Samsung. Steinerman noted that Spaital started as a platform solely available on XR headsets such as Microsoft’s HoloLens and the MagicLeap. ”
Sightful was founded by ex-MagicLeap executives Tamir Berliner and Tomer Kahan. Xreal Air 2 Ultra: True AR Glasses For Samsung Galaxy S23 Xreal Air 2 Ultra are true AR glasses with positional tracking and scene meshing, powered by a Samsung Galaxy S22 or Galaxy S23 via USB-C.
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.

Of course, the Pro has the advantage of the tracking technology : we all know that SteamVR tracking is far better than the awful constellation tracking (sorry Zuck) and with 2.0, Of course, we all want to know the price to make a better judgment and this will happen soon , according to Mister President. Should you buy it?
Apple's passthrough magic might help explain why the industry is making such big shifts before this $3,500 spatial computer even ships. Saudi Arabia-owned MagicLeap took $500+ million more from the "sovereign" investment arm of the state to continue developing its technologies for transparent optical AR.
Of course, if you need more features, you have to go for an expensive HoloLens. Supported phones: Samsung: S8, S8 plus, Note 8, S9, S9 plus, Huawei: Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, P20 pro.

It’s printed on premium paper and it’s priced high like a textbook at fifty dollars – of course it’s filled with an hour of animation – so it’s not a normal book and it doesn’t adhere to book economics. Charlie: So the cheapest and the simplest is, of course, in many cases, all that’s necessary.

Ellsworth: I’m another huge Star Trek nerd, and Star Wars of course. 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. He’s also a very big Star Trek fan. That’s where Mission Drone came from.
— it was the Samsung GearyVR at the time. And there is a space station and asteroids and of course, like this gigantic, almost life-size space shuttle that came out of the middle of the tent, it would just fly back and forth throughout it.

Of course, from there the path was very long and arduous and still is. When you when you think of all of the technologies we have with Hololens and MagicLeap and we have all these amazing technologies for spatial computing. I think MagicLeap calls it the Magicverse. But if you think about what else can you do?

It was pretty mindblowing to hear that stat, and so of course we use that a lot.

This comes alongside an alleged partnership with Samsung that would see the development of a wholly new consumer AR device that is rumored to tether to a Samsung smartphone.

The main one regards the 4 devices we were waiting for this year , which in our opinion should have changed everything: Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, Google-Samsung Headset, and PSVR 2. Google and Samsung Prototype of the Samsung XR headset. I have this impression for a few reasons. Long story short: things are not good.
