The Magic Leap 2 also boasts of improved tracking in its controllers. The Magic Leap 2’s 3D audio helps position sound to better track multiple conversations, and can also direct the user’s attention to areas out of the user’s current FoV. The device also makes intelligent use of 3D positional audio, which has become a mainstay in VR headsets, as well as in headphones like Apple's AirPods. Magic Leap says the extra camera improves image quality, and minimizes rendering errors. Tracking and audio The original Magic Lens offered one eye tracking camera per eye, but the new glasses double that number to include two eye tracking cameras per eye. The company, in fact, claims that the improved image quality, color fidelity, and text legibility help make the Magic Leap 2’s holographic content visible to surgeons even in brightly lit operating rooms. The Magic Leap 2’s dimming technology can make a whole room, or only parts of it, suddenly darken to offer better contrast or focus on digital content.Īt 22% the real world will be visible even in dark rooms, while at 0.3% the virtual objects would remain visible even in bright outdoor conditions. Magic Lens claims the feature enables users to tweak the glasses with the help of sliders, to let through anywhere from between 22% of real world light to just 0.3%. The result is that holograms should look crisp and vivid. Thanks to a new feature called Dynamic Dimming, Magic Leap 2 is designed to make the digital content stand out against the real world by dimming parts of the user’s vision to near-darkness. What really matters for AR glasses is that they make the most of the available FoV, and this figures to be one of the Magic Leap 2’s strongest attributes. That’s not only smaller than our natural FoV, but also lesser than many VR headsets that offer around 110 degrees. Magic Leap says its method of beaming this light is unique, but the company didn't specify exactly how.Dynamic Dimming: In contrast to VR headsets like the Oculus Quest 2 that immerse viewers entirely in a virtual environment, AR glasses are designed to project digital 3D objects on top of the real world.įor that reason, the Magic Leap 2’s field of view (FoV) is 70 diagonal degrees, as opposed to the 50 degrees on its predecessor. "I found that worked amazingly well close up, within arm's reach, which was not true of many of the other mixed- and virtual-reality systems I used," Kelly wrote." "I also found that the transition back to the real world while removing the Magic Leap's optics was effortless, as comfortable as slipping off sunglasses, which I also did not experience in other systems." How is Magic Leap different from HoloLens and other AR headsets?Īccording to Wired's report, devices such as HoloLens, the Meta AR glasses and Magic Leap feature semitransparent lenses that project light sources at the edges, eventually reflecting images toward the wearer's eye. Hands-on impressions from Wired's Kevin Kelly are also encouraging. Just imagine being able to read through work reports without a single monitor on your desk, or watch football on your own personal screen when there's no TV around. Because Magic Leap can project virtual displays and bring messages and emails directly to your eyes, it could someday replace your phone, PC and even your entertainment center.
