Magic Leap<\/a> is an American startup company that is working on a head-mounted virtual retinal display, called Magic Leap One, which superimposes 3D computer-generated imagery over real-world objects, by “projecting a digital light field into the user’s eye”, involving technologies potentially suited to applications in augmented reality and computer vision. It is attempting to construct a light-field chip using silicon photonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MagicLeap had created a lot of buzz around it while it remained in Stealth for a large part of its existence. The company is probably the only startup to be valued at over USD 6.3 billion without even releasing a single product to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far the company has raised over USD 2.3 Billion according to CrunchBase<\/a> from investors like Google, Alibaba & Axel Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, magicleap<\/g> finally revealed a developer version of its headset called MagicLeap One.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MagicLeap comes with a headset with sensors which is attached to a small “Lightpack”. The Lightpack houses the battery and other electronic circuits used by the MagiLeap<\/g> headset. The setup also includes a handheld device much like a remote which can be used to interact with the elements of the Augmented Reality world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
