The third hardware component of the mixed reality system is the handheld controller used to navigate the menus and thoroughly participate in the mixed world created by Magic Leap One. Also, the controller can be tracked in space. The system accepts multiple input modes including eye tracking, head position, gestures, and voice command inputs.

===Digital lightfield technology===
===Digital lightfield technology===
The device is based on the theory that to understand the surrounding the visual cortex in our brain doesn’t need all the information-rich light that bounces off the objects around us. Hence, there is no need to re-create the light field in its entirety. Instead, the device only needs to capture select pieces of the light field and supply them to the brain via the eye.

The performance of Magic Leap One will be as good as any high-performing laptop. This is made possible by the powerful, integrated processing unit used in the system. The user of the mixed reality headset will be able to play first-person games from the comfort of his/her room, create high-quality lightfield objects, and 3D models.
