Optics

Our in-house, patented technologies allow us to create, test, and scale industry-leading AR optics, delivering precise and stunning digital content merged with real environments.

Human Experiences + Digital Content

Welcome to see-through augmented reality

We’re pioneering see-through AR. This approach blends digital content into your real, everyday surroundings through clear, crisp, and transparent eyepieces. Our technology goes beyond pass-through AR technology by providing an accurate and immersive experience that also reduces distortion, lag, eye strain, and the other undesirable effects of typical pass-through AR headsets.

Waveguides

Light, Clear, and Powerful

Two waveguides showcase Magic Leap AR technology precision for lightweight AR glasses and immersive experiences.

Our patented nano-imprint process allows us to develop waveguides that are the lightest in their class, delivering an unparalleled user-experience. Developed in-house, our exclusive designs and manufacturing processes allow for incredibly crisp and sharp content. A sleek form factor, developed and refined over many years, ensures all-day comfort across a variety of uses. 

Field of View

Gain a new perspective. Or Several.

With a spectrum of field of view options, we enable a range of true see-through AR experiences. From smaller 20° displays to immersive 70° field of views — and everything in-between — we can optimize for a variety of use cases.

Display Assemblies

Efficient. Powerful. Responsive.

From raw glass wafers, to monocular or binocular display assemblies, Magic Leap is an industry leader in placing waveguides into display assemblies. Through years of innovation and thousands of patents, we have found ways of creating smaller, more efficient and powerful assemblies for the best experiences.

Calibration

More viewing, less strain.
