Magic Leap

Following years of product teasers, Magic Leap finally made its augmented-reality headset available to a few select customers in 2018. Three years later, a second generation was announced, and now the Magic Leap 2 is going on sale from September.

Three years after finally launching its debut AR headset, Magic Leap has outlined plans for a follow-up. The announcement comes as it reveals a fresh round of funding to the tune of US$500 million, and continues a shift toward the enterprise market.

After years of hype and billions of investment dollars, you can now buy Magic Leap's mixed reality headset – if you have deep pockets and live in one of the US cities that the device is shipping to. Aimed primarily at developers, the Magic Leap One Creator's Edition can be yours for US$2,295.

Magic Leap finally revealed its AR goggles in December last year, and bit by bit we are gaining a clearer picture of the headset's functionality. The company has today announced a new partnership with the NBA, which will enable sports fans to view replays of on-court action in three dimensions.​

Magic Leap has been teasing a mysterious, game-changing augmented reality device for several years now, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in investment along the way, and today it finally revealed some actual hardware. Meet the Magic Leap One, available to developers from next year.
