If you haven’t been following the Magic Leap saga, you’re probably not alone. The company has been incredibly tight-lipped about its products for a few years now. Well, those confusing tweets and radio silence finally gave way to a product—Magic Leap One. Comprised of a headset, a computer unit the user must wear, and a controller, Magic Leap One allows you to view the world in a whole new way. Using “Digital Lightfield Technology” the device adds digital creations to the world you perceive through the glasses (Lightwear). Through this technology, those creations can also interact and respond to the space you’re in. They’ll find surfaces and stop at walls. It’s what’s been called “Mixed Reality,” and it offers a great deal in both the gaming and the productivity worlds. The first units off the line will be for developers and those should be available some time next year.
