PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Magic Leap today announced that its next generation enterprise augmented reality platform, Magic Leap 2, is now commercially available.

Magic Leap 2 will take the current use cases to the next level, and we can't wait to see what our customers create."
Magic Leap 2 integrates new innovations to address the historical barriers that have prevented the widespread adoption of AR technology and are critical to making AR a valuable tool for daily use in the healthcare, manufacturing/light industrial, retail, and defense sectors.
Key features and innovations of Magic Leap 2 include:
-
An open platform that empowers enterprises and developers with flexibility, cloud autonomy, and data privacy
-
20% lighter and 50% smaller in volume than Magic Leap 1
