.” With the entrance of Apple Vision Pro, one such entity to follow suit is Stryker’s Mako , a robotic surgery group initially founded as a standalone company by Rony Abovitz, the founder and first CEO of AR unicorn MagicLeap. And that’s in spite of its $3,500 price tag.
PICO’s OpenXR SDK is located in the download section of its developer website. The OpenXR API is a core piece behind many XR headsets from vendors such as Acer, ByteDance, Canon, HTC, MagicLeap, Meta, Microsoft, Sony, XREAL, Qualcomm, Valve, and Varjo.
It looks like MagicLeap could be gearing up to jump into the world of mobile AR, as the company recently published a job listing for a senior software engineer who will be tasked with building “a cross-platform framework that enables large scale shared AR experiences between mobile devices (iOS, Android) and MagicLeap devices.”
After many years of waiting, and even a second iteration of the device scrapped away, Microsoft is finally going to announce the next generation of HoloLens. On stage, there will be Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Alex Kipman (the inventor of Kinect and HoloLens) and Julia White (Corporate Vice President). The time has come.
The app also includes a mobile centric UI as well as the ability to download images, videos, and documents. Spatial is currently available on the Oculus Quest/Quest 2 , Microsoft HoloLens/HoloLens 2 , MagicLeap , Nreal Beta , and compatible web browsers. For information on pricing visit here.

WebXR is an API that allows developers to create XR experiences, which includes AR and VR headsets, and then let users navigate to lightweight experience via a hyperlink; the XR experience starts up without needing to download anything. Just open up a WebXR-supported browser in your headset and click on the link above.

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. Standalone/All-in-two headsets.
But it is very interesting , because it will touch a lot of hot topics, like: Data visualization in XR; MagicLeap; Being a woman working in XR; How is XR in Asia. Today the interview will cover the first two topics: dataviz in VR thanks to BadVR solution and MagicLeap. and many other interesting stuff!
Here's what Microsoft told us about when support will end, and what that means for you. If you missed the news, Microsoft announced that Windows Mixed Reality is now officially deprecated, and will be "removed in a future release of Windows". UploadVR reached out to Microsoft officially for answers. So there you have it.
For instance, in the box I’ve found a cleaning cloth for an Oculus device… and I don’t think it actually comes with a Microsoft HoloLens! But as soon as you get close to them, the magic breaks , because you can clearly see the limit of your viewing windows. The headset is very light and balanced (Image by Microsoft).
The company’s own co-founders, Anand Agarawala and Jinha Lee, have their own impressive pasts including working at Google, MIT, Microsoft, and Samsung. The platform works on just about any device, from HoloLens and MagicLeap to desktop and mobile, and even an Nreal beta. Get In and Look Around.
So, in theory, a whole organization can benefit from the platform while only having a handful of application downloads in use. The platform, which won last year’s Auggie Award for Best Enterprise Solution, is compatible with MR headsets like HoloLens and MagicLeap. TechSee and Vuzix (and Microsoft). Microsoft Mesh.
I am super happy about it, it’s like a dream coming true… On Wednesday 7th at 11:15–11:30 am CEST I will (remotely) speak together with Massimiliano Ariani at the famous Laval Virtual event , in the fitness track, where we will speak about HitMotion: Reloaded (btw download our game now !) Image by Microsoft). News worth a mention.
This offering could be the key to helping the tech giant preserve its market share, as innovators like Apple , Microsoft, and MagicLeap all increase their focus in the business world. You can integrate third-party MDM solutions such as Ivanti, Microsoft Intune, and VMWare Workspace One. What is Meta Quest for Business?
One area Quest is optimising is application downloads. According to Meta, the firm is rolling out “behind-the-scenes improvements” that allow users to download multiple games or applications at the same time. Interestingly, the new download tools came after Meta removed its App Lab storefront.
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. Some recent acquisitions include AltspaceVR (Microsoft), and Escher (Niantic). Find out more details, dynamics and submission guidelines here. .
The fitness application goes from costing $30 upfront to be free to download and costing $10/month after a trial. On the client side, the system will become compatible with iOS devices, and a MagicLeap client has also been developed. Some companies are already supporting this feature at launch, and one of them is FitXR.
HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). Rony Abovitz steps down from MagicLeap CEO. This was a very good thing and attracted many people to MagicLeap. I hope that MagicLeap will benefit from it and will recover pretty soon.
It is one of the games with the highest review scores on Steam and Metacritic; Valve has already released two patches to fix some common complaints on the game; The game has had an impressive number of downloads (the estimated number is around 200–500,000), concurrent users (more than 40,000), and viewers on Twitch (300,000+).
Other devices from MagicLeap and Microsoft’s HoloLens headsets offer deeper levels of immersion. We’re now bringing that directly to developers, who can download the software development kit (SDK) for Unity or Unreal Engine. These range from the Lenovo A3 [and MagicLeap 2].
Dynamic generative applications The lightbulb in my brain powered on by reminding my interview with the amazing John Gaeta (when he still was at MagicLeap). Doing a Google search, I found out that since Microsoft opensourced the C# compiler (called Roslyn) , many things have been made with it. It got thousands of downloads.
After a long update download, I was ready to go and the device started working much better. HoloLens is winning over MagicLeap because it is inserted in the context of a great platform (great SDK, Azure AI/ML/Cloud services, Microsoft tools like Teams, etc…). All bugs that were taunting me vanished away.
It comes in two flavors: one that works with physical disks and the other one with an internal hard drive to download games from the store. Late to the party after Oculus and Microsoft already released prototypical implementations, but finally Valve has implemented OpenXR into its runtime SteamVR. SSD (8–9 GB/s). Other relevant news.
A more distant solution would be where virtual world data is piecewise downloaded to the users’ system in the background on demand. Layered structure of the MagicVerse, the metaverse envisioned by MagicLeap. Its structure reminds a lot what Kim is telling in this interview (Image by MagicLeap).
Designed for headsets like Microsoft’s HoloLens or MagicLeap 1, VRFocus had a chance to sit down with CEO and co-founder Anand Agarawala to learn about the company’s plans and where it’s headed. . The software also supports VR headsets like Oculus Quest and integrates with Microsoft Teams.
You can download the package from our website or dig into the project on GitHub , where it’s been published under an Apache license. While the classic Leap Motion Controller’s FOV is significantly beyond existing AR headsets such as Microsoft Hololens and MagicLeap One, it felt limiting on the North Star headset.
Instead of displaying signage in-store which features a model marketing merchandise, let consumers see themselves in the ware with the help of a Magic Mirror. Magic Mirrors, like the one shown below from FXGear, require no download or device to be able to show a consumer what they look like in inventory that may or may not even be in store.
But even the ones that remain and have pretty good traction, such as Microsoft Hololens, have a major shortcoming — immersion. VR, on the other hand, can be downloaded and run completely offline. The popular AR headsets like Microsoft Hololens ($3,500) and MagicLeap ($2,300) aren’t feasible for large-scale deployments.
Co-founder Jinha Lee developed pioneering AR interfaces at MIT, Microsoft, and Samsung and then also showed them at a TED talk. Jinha had worked at Microsoft Research and he had offers to go back to Microsoft Research and Google and all these other companies and do serious hefty work for them on AR.

We're going to dig into using MagicLeap and Hololens and mixed reality headsets as a tool for business. And so that was kind of the impetus for us to say, "Well, we've got a lot of downloads on this, but it doesn't perform in the way games were supposed to perform." Today we have Arash Keshmirian, co-founder of Extality.

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. And I think you’re right; Microsoft are listening, and they’ve got lots of requirements coming in. Vuzix and MagicLeap.

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. Image Credit: Microsoft.
So, we have an app that people might care to download. If you can find an interested game developer — or a few of them — they can probably get AR or VR stuff started very, very quickly, because it’s just downloading one of these frameworks like ARCore or ARKit. What do they want to see?” Austin: Yeah.

Matt: The other one — this sort of thing is the stuff that isn’t obvious to people — but the other big one that I think is a big deal is the Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps. So Microsoft said, “hey, let’s make it out-of-the-box useful. I think that was the best thing that they did with HoloLens 2.
