To gather spatial data, the headset comes equipped with multiple integrated sensors and at least six external cameras. Like Microsoft HoloLens, the Magic Leap One has built-in speakers and built-in microphones, four of them in the headset. The MR headset is supposed to have a higher field of view than the HoloLens, but it doesn’t.

Magic Leap has used Photonic Wafers, which are translucent cells that generate Lightfield signals. Photonic Wafers does this by moving photons inside a 3D nanostructure. More about the Lightfield technology is mention below.

The headset that was made available to purchase did not in fact use lightfield technology, but instead used standard [[waveguide]] technology with two separate focal planes that automatically switched based on eye tracking to determine where the user was roughly focusing. It didn't work very well.
