At GDC 2018 MagicLeap has announced the release of the Lumin SDK , that is the tools that we should use to develop for this AR glass. and I discovered that the SDK contains a fancy emulator so that you can start exploring MagicLeap development even if you don’t have a device. Unity has to be discarded.
In this article, you may find the answers to all the above questions : I will guide you in developing a little Unity experience for the nReal glasses (the typical grey cube!), How to get started with nReal development (and emulator) in Unity (Video tutorial). And then of course you have to download the nReal Unity SDK.
During its presentation at Unite Berlin, MagicLeap gave attendees a crash course in developing experiences for MagicLeap One (ML1), we found out quite a bit more about how the device works and what we can expect to experience with the device. Here's what we learned.
Spatial Hits Big at GDC 2023 In March, at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2023 in San Francisco, Spatial announced the platform’s new Unity Creator Toolkit is entering its beta stages.

Is this the only supported programming language or devs can also use Unity and Unreal Engine?
Today I want to take you on a journey on one of the coolest prototypes I’ve ever worked on, which is about creating Unity applications that can dynamically modify their logic at runtime depending on the user’s needs thanks to generative artificial intelligence. Something so cool I could try and fail big. And then I had an idea.
The idea of Leap Motion is going against the current trend of augmented reality glasses, that is mostly based on expensive devices that have closed ecosystems (e.g. HoloLens or MagicLeap One ), but to create a headset that is: Affordable; Completely open, both from a software and hardware standpoint.
