'Half-Life: Alyx' Mod to Bring 4-5 Hours of Gameplay in Unofficial 'Levitation' ChapterĪccording to Curtis, Magic Leap 2 weighs just 248 grams (0.5 pounds). For Magic Leap 2, Curtis says the eyebox was doubled in size, apparently making it large enough for the company to move to a single headset size. The reasoning behind having two sizes for ML1 appears to have been driven largely by a small eyebox and the lack of IPD adjustment, requiring two different sizes of the headset to try to cover a suitable range of the IPD spectrum. The HeadsetĪbout the headset itself, Curtis shared that Magic Leap 2 will come in just one size-a change from Magic Leap 1 which had a ‘large’ and ‘small’ variant. It remains to be seen if this is a use case the company is actively aiming for. Without access to the entire contents of Curtis’ talk, we don’t know how precisely the dimming capability can be segmented so it’s difficult to know if this will be a comparatively groundbreaking capability, or something more limited.Ĭuriously, dropping to the minimum 0.3% light transmission might even make Magic Leap 2 useful for fully immersive VR experiences where the real world is largely dimmed to make way for entirely virtual content. On traditional transparent AR headsets it’s impossible to have ‘black’ as a color because black is the absence of light but the lenses have no way to stop light from passing through. The slides state this means that Magic Leap 2 lenses can “enable black,” presumably by selectively dimming only the part of the lens where black is needed in the image. HTC Launches Aftermarket Face & Eye-trackers for Vive Focus 3Īlso noted in the presentation, the dimming capability can refresh at 120Hz, and is “segmented” as well.
Dynamic dimming is paired with a brightness range from 20–2,000 nits combined, these capabilities should make the headset significantly more flexible than its predecessor, and similar headsets, when it comes to varied lighting conditions. This wide range ought to make the headset usable even in very bright outdoor environments (though it will of course come at the cost of dimming the world around the user as well).
The former being something like sunglasses and the latter being closer to welding goggles.

The most interesting details to come from the presentation are perhaps about the headset’s dynamic dimming capability, which is a first among commercial AR headsets.

Attendee Nataliya Kosmyna shared portions of the presentation alongside some portions which cropped up over at the AR XR MR subreddit.ĭuring the presentation Curtis detailed Magic Leap 2’s bevy of sensors, optical stack, Android foundation, and more. This week at the SPIE Photonics West 2022 conference, Magic Leap’s VP of Optical Engineering, Kevin Curtis, took to the stage to share a bevy of new details on the headset. However, the company has begun sharing details on the headset which suggests the launch is approaching. Although it’s expected to launch this year, there’s still no firm release date on Magic Leap 2.
