The '''Magic Leap 1''' (also known as '''Magic Leap One: Creator Edition''') is an [[augmented reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Magic Leap]]. Announced on December 20, 2017 and released on August 8, 2018 at $2,295, the Magic Leap 1 was a highly anticipated device following years of secretive development and billions in funding. The headset features dual LCOS displays with a unique 6-layer waveguide system for depth perception, NVIDIA Tegra X2 processor in a waist-worn "Lightpack" compute unit, and the custom Lumin OS. Cloud services ended December 31, 2024.<ref name="magicleap">{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Leap|title=Magic Leap|publisher=Wikipedia}}</ref>
