| The [[Magic Leap 2]] is an enterprise-focused [[augmented reality headset]] developed and manufactured by [[Magic Leap Inc.]]. Released on September 30, 2022, it serves as the successor to the company's earlier [[Magic Leap 1]] device.<ref name="release_date">{{cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/magic-leap-2-release-date-price-specs/|title=Magic Leap 2 Starting Price Positioned Slightly Less Than HoloLens 2, Release Date Set for September|date=July 12, 2022}}</ref> The Magic Leap 2 represents a significant advancement in [[AR]] technology, designed primarily for professional and industrial applications rather than consumer use. The device focuses on providing a more immersive augmented reality experience with improved comfort for extended use, enhanced visual capabilities, and powerful computing performance.<ref name="ml2_overview">{{cite web|url=https://www.magicleap.com/magic-leap-2|title=Magic Leap 2 | Augmented Reality | Optics Technology|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref>

|
| |
|
| == Design and Hardware ==
| | The '''Magic Leap 2''' is an enterprise-focused [[augmented reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Magic Leap]], announced in June 2022 and released on September 30, 2022 at a starting price of $3,299. Representing a complete pivot from Magic Leap's original consumer-focused vision, the Magic Leap 2 targets healthcare, manufacturing, and defense sectors with industry-leading specifications for transparent AR glasses. The device features a nearly doubled field of view compared to its predecessor (70° diagonal vs. 50°), world-first global and segmented dynamic dimming capabilities that can block up to 99.7% of ambient light, and exceptional optical clarity at 1440 × 1760 resolution per eye. Powered by a custom AMD x86 processor rather than mobile ARM chips, the Magic Leap 2 delivers desktop-class computing performance while weighing just 260 grams—the lightest enterprise AR headset in its class. |
| === Physical Design ===
| | |
| The Magic Leap 2 features a lightweight, ergonomic design optimized for all-day comfort in professional environments. Unlike many competitors, it utilizes a split-system architecture where the computing and battery units are housed in a separate "Compute Pack" that connects to the headset via a thin cable. This design choice shifts weight away from the user's head, reducing strain during extended use sessions.<ref name="physical_design">{{cite web|url=https://arborxr.com/blog/magic-leap-2-review|title=We Reviewed the Magic Leap 2 AR Headset for Business|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref> The headset itself weighs just 260 grams, while the Compute Pack weighs 425 grams and can be attached to a pocket or worn with a strap.<ref name="weight">{{cite web|url=https://vr-expert.com/ar-headsets/buy-magic-leap-2/|title=Buy the Magic Leap 2 | VR Expert | VR & AR|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref> | | == History and Development == |
| | |
| | === Magic Leap's Journey === |
| | Magic Leap was founded in 2010 by Rony Abovitz with ambitious claims about "spatial computing" and revolutionary AR technology. The company raised over $2.6 billion before launching its first product, generating enormous hype in the technology industry. |
|
| |
|
| === Display Technology === | | === Magic Leap 1 === |
| The Magic Leap 2 utilizes proprietary [[Liquid crystal on silicon]] (LCoS) display technology with advanced [[waveguide]] optics developed and manufactured in-house. This technology allows digital content to be projected into the user's field of view while maintaining visibility of the real world.<ref name="display_tech">{{cite web|url=https://www.magicleap.com/optics-technology|title=Magic Leap Optics Technology: Advanced AR Solutions|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref> The device features: | | The original Magic Leap One (Creator Edition) launched in 2018 at $2,295, targeting creators and developers. While technically innovative, the device received mixed reviews for its limited field of view (50°) and fell short of the company's marketed expectations. |
|
| |
|
| * Resolution: 1440 × 1760 pixels per eye | | === Strategic Pivot === |
| * Field of View: 45° horizontal × 55° vertical (approximately 70° diagonal) | | Following disappointing Magic Leap 1 sales and the impact of COVID-19, Magic Leap underwent significant changes: |
| * Refresh Rate: 120 Hz | | * CEO Rony Abovitz departed in 2020 |
| * Color Depth: Support for over 16.8 million colors | | * Peggy Johnson (former Microsoft) became CEO |
| * Brightness: Adjustable from 20 to 2,000 nits<ref name="display_specs">{{cite web|url=https://vr-compare.com/headset/magicleap2|title=Magic Leap 2: Full Specification - VRcompare|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref> | | * Complete pivot from consumer to enterprise market |
| | * Restructuring and workforce reductions |
| | * Focus on healthcare, defense, and industrial applications |
|
| |
|
| === Dynamic Dimming Technology === | | === Magic Leap 2 Development === |
| One of the most innovative features of the Magic Leap 2 is its proprietary Dynamic Dimming™ technology, which is the first of its kind in commercial [[AR]] headsets. This technology allows the device to adjust the opacity of the lenses from 22% light transmission (similar to sunglasses) down to just 0.3% (nearly opaque).<ref name="dynamic_dimming">{{cite web|url=https://virtualrealitytimes.com/2022/01/29/fresh-details-revealed-about-magic-leap-2-technology/|title=Fresh Details Revealed About Magic Leap 2 Technology|date=January 29, 2022}}</ref>
| | ML2 was developed specifically for enterprise needs: |
| | * Smaller, lighter form factor |
| | * Industrial-grade reliability |
| | * Improved optical performance |
| | * Dynamic dimming for varied environments |
| | * Medical device certification pathway |
|
| |
|
| Dynamic Dimming serves multiple purposes:
| | == Design Philosophy == |
| * Makes virtual content appear more solid and realistic against real-world backgrounds
| |
| * Improves contrast and visibility of AR elements in bright environments
| |
| * Enables the rendering of the color black, which is typically impossible in transparent AR displays
| |
| * Can be used selectively to dim only specific areas of the field of view
| |
| * Automatically adjusts based on ambient lighting conditions<ref name="dimming_capabilities">{{cite web|url=https://www.magicleap.com/blog/magic-leap-2-optics-breakthroughs-empower-enterprise-ar|title=Magic Leap 2: Revolutionary Optics for Enterprise AR Solutions|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref>

| == History and Development ==
| | Enterprise pricing often includes: |
| The Magic Leap 2 represents a strategic pivot for Magic Leap following the commercial disappointment of the original Magic Leap 1. After raising significant venture capital (over $2.6 billion by 2020), the company struggled to meet sales expectations with its first consumer-oriented device.<ref name="history">{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Leap|title=Magic Leap - Wikipedia|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref>
| | * Volume discounts |
| | * Support packages |
| | * Software licensing |
| | * Deployment services |
|
| |
|
| In May 2020, founder Rony Abovitz stepped down as CEO, and Peggy Johnson, a former Microsoft executive, took over leadership in July 2020. Under Johnson's direction, Magic Leap refocused its efforts on enterprise applications rather than the consumer market.<ref name="leadership">{{cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Leap|title=Magic Leap - Wikipedia|accessdate=May 2, 2025}}</ref>
