TAKING THE LEAP

INSIDE MAGIC LEAP

The key features of the Magic Leap One, the creator edition of the mixed-reality headset

Data lightfield technology

Uses photonics to narrow the gap between real-world and digital objects, so the human brain can be more comfortable processing lifelike virtual objects generated by the device.

Visual perception

A powerful sensor suite that detects objects, planes and surfaces so virtual objects can interact with the surrounding physical world.

Persistent object

Room-mapping so that if a user mounts a virtual TV on a real wall and leaves the room, the TV will still be where it was placed upon their return.

Soundfield audio

For as much immersion as possible.

Next-generation interface

Support for multiple input modes such as eye tracking, head pose, gestures, and voice inputs.
