Magic Leap One: The Time Has Come

Calling all developers, creators and explorers – Magic Leap One Creator Edition is now available. Brace yourself because a universe of creative possibilities is expanding right in front of you.

Join us on a mind-expanding journey into the outer reaches of human creativity. Magic Leap One Creator Edition is a spatial computing system that brings digital content to life here in the real world with us. Its unique design and technology lets in natural light waves together with softly layered synthetic lightfields, enabling creators to build unbelievably believable interactive experiences and create worlds within our world. And this is just the beginning.

You’ll have access to all-new applications and experiences, including a set of core applications that make up the foundation of our spatial computing platform. These include the Helio web browser that delivers 3D and spatial web experiences, the Screens video player that allows users to place multiple displays of any size in their physical space, and Magic Leap’s unique avatars and Social application, offering a spatially aware way to connect, collaborate and feel presence across distance, with connection services powered by Twilio.

Then there’s LuminOS. It’s a whole new operating system. One that gets the most out of our spatial computing platform by working in tandem with the brain. We’re talking machine learning, middleware, an SDK and development tools. It’s optimized for performance with a high-fidelity visual experience to turn your wildest imaginings into even wilder realities.

Magic Kit is a powerful ever-evolving toolkit containing sample code, tech write-ups and design diaries to help you fast track your training in spatial computing, create high quality mixed reality interactions and navigate your way through the Magicverse.

Magic Leap One Creator Edition also includes several preview experiences – developed in-house at Magic Leap and by our early-access partners. They include:

Tónandi, a collaboration between Sigur Rós and Magic Leap Studios, which set out to discover and manifest the DNA of their signature sound in a new reality. The result of that collaboration is an interactive audio-visual exploration of the sounds and spirit of the band.

Create, a playful sandbox mixed reality experience where anything’s possible. Turn your house into an undersea world and watch sea turtles and jellyfish glide past, or stage a fight between a knight and a T. Rex on your coffee table. Paint, draw, build, and create in ways never before possible in this magical application developed by Magic Leap Studios.

Dr. Grordbort’s Invaders (coming soon), a hyper-realistic action game in which evil robots have chosen your living room to stage an invasion. Grab your ray gun and save the day in this larger-than-life, immersive video game from Magic Leap and Weta Workshop.

Magic Leap One Creator Edition is available now starting at $2,295 USD and includes everything you need to start building. Inside the box you’ll find the Lightwear headset, Lightpack computing pack, Control handheld input device, a Fit Kit to ensure a perfectly calibrated fit, chargers, and a handy Quick Start Guide to get you up and running.
