Magic Leap’s New AR Headset Will Debut in 2022
A video on Bloomberg shows AREA Member Magic Leap’s CEO Peggy Johnson in an interview discussing Enterprise AR uses and timescales.
A few things mentioned include:
- Eye examinations can be done at a fraction of the cost
- Magic Leap’s next generation AR glasses are smaller lighter, faster
- They have a greater field view – this has doubled in their next gen device
- Vertical representation e.g. surgery digital content overlaid across the knee and look at virtual screens
- Bringing light dimmer to bring more focus to what needs to be concentrated on (again surgical use)
Answering criticism about lack of progress, Johnson argued that 4 healthcare companies are testing the devices right now and other industries are working with Magic Leap at the moment. These include:
- Health
- Defense and Public Sector
- Manufacturing
- Automotive and Transport
- Oil and Gas
- Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC)
