MagicLeap is in the midst of a notable turnaround. But among the components of MagicLeap’s return to the tech world’s good graces, most notable could be its second swing at AR glasses. To prime the launch and offer a first-hand look, MagicLeap invited us to try ML2 for a few weeks. And below is our take.

Researchers at The Human Computer Interaction Lab at Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Potsdam, Germany, published a video recently showing a novel solution to the problem of wearable haptics for augmented reality. The researchers say their system “adds physical forces while keeping the users’ hands free to interact unencumbered.”
MagicLeap Inc. , billion to build a wearable computing device, is trying to raise even more cash as it readies a long-awaited debut product. 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. Qualcomm Inc.
At their flagship London store, Topshop made a waterslide simulator to celebrate the start of summer: complete with a virtual tube ride through a 3D recreation of the actual Oxford Street that lies just outside of the real-world store. Now this is what I call retail theater. INVESTMENT & FUNDING WRAPUP. Apparently the $1.4B
Or we can put on device on our head (a head-mounted display or HMD) that completely occludes us from the real world allowing us to enter a completely simulated environment which we can walk around and interact in because the computer is sensing our physical actions: this is Virtual Reality or VR. Being in a simulation has its benefits.
The new builder by the creators of Pokémon Go was announced at this year’s Augmented World Expo (AWE), a conference and exhibition of the latest augmented reality, virtual reality, and wearable technology. Niantic has introduced its ‘Niantic Studio’ 3D and XR experience builder for 8th Wall developers at AWE 2024.
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.
Virtual Reality: Do We Live In Our Brain’s Simulation Of The World? Source: [link] Compare Glass to the MagicLeap One, it is clear that Glass is meant to be worn continuously and in public while the MagicLeap One, admittedly with better visualization, is meant to be used in an indoor environment.
For those who aren’t familiar with HaptX, we build technology that simulates touch sensation with unprecedented realism. DK2 is designed specifically for professionals in training and simulation, industrial design, and robotics. They deliver unprecedented realism, with more than 130 points of tactile feedback per hand.
MagicLeap and the University of Washington. Using MagicLeap technology , the University of Washington allowed students to access a virtual environment where they could develop powerful tools, while collaborating in an XR space. Unfortunately, when the pandemic hit, the students weren’t able to meet in person at all.
Will this Convergence lead us into the futuristic dystopia of our nightmares — the one where we are jacked into a simulated reality, a siloed and centralized network where we are constantly under surveillance by dark forces operating in the shadows, all the while being mined for our data like a natural resource?
These groundbreaking technologies are not only transforming entertainment with immersive gaming experiences but also revolutionizing learning through simulators and interactive applications. The concept of Virtual Reality gained momentum in the 1980s and '90s with the development of advanced computer graphics and simulations.
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. More recently, the use of wearable augmented and virtual reality devices by airport and airline technicians to train, perform maintenance, and receive remote support has gained traction.
And as I got into the book and editing the work of my collaborators, it was clear everyone was talking about the same thing, which is this world of ubiquitous, wearable computing. Charlie: VR has a lot of fantastic applications in training and simulation. MagicLeap a lot of great people running off doing different things.

A new OS for wearable, on face, computers. You could do some sick simulations and distortions of the real world. If you haven’t seen a Microsoft Hololens or a MagicLeap you probably have no clue about how amazing this will be. A new OS arrives for on-face wearables. New 3D experiences for inside cars.
They’ve taken virtual and augmented reality for the automobile industry to the next level; from AR apps where you can see cars in your living room, to full VR simulators where you can drive the cars and see what they interact like. ” I said, “have you ever played a real simulation race game?” Alan: Yeah?

2010, we had wearable technologies like the Fitbits, the Apple Watch, so forth and so on. These are like the Microsoft Hololens, MagicLeaps. So how do they prepare themselves for emergencies, human life emergencies, and create simulations, and do it all through AI? And in the 90s we had the laptops.

Hardware, too, has evolved significantly this part year, with the long-awaited launch of MagicLeap and the release of the Oculus Go , which means that it is now possible to have untethered, six degrees of freedom experiences in a headset costing under $200. Troubled times also bring heightened demand for escapism.
Morton Helig’s 1962 patent describes a system that delivers a realistic simulation for potential work and military training purposes: There are increasing demands today for ways and means to teach and train individuals without actually subjecting the individuals to possible hazards of particular situations.
So, as we begin to work with MagicLeap and Hololens and some of these others, and you’re able to do hands-free, and the headsets become able to be worn for longer periods, et cetera, et cetera, we expect that to increase over time. That’s with holding a phone with one hand. Alan: Yeah, an oil rig. Gabriel: Yeah.

Whether it’s glasses, or headsets, or earbuds, or some new type of mobile, or like whether it’s a watch, or some kind of other wearable device. I do think that we are going to get to a point very quickly where the wearable aspect of things will become more important. They don’t have the developer ecosystem.

Two years ago, the company had won a $480M deal with the army to produce the first evaluation units (beating MagicLeap in this contest and condemning it to a sad fate) that should have increased soldiers’ efficiency and lethality. This is a new drawing application in VR that will come to light on May, 5th. Learn more.
Wearables, including XR glasses and headsets, body-worn sensors, wrist wearables, and even exoskeletons, are not one size fits all; they’re one size fits most men and it shows: Headsets are often too heavy for female users, frames too large, lenses too far apart, accessory and motion control devices ill-fitting, etc.
