![]() 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. VR Shooter 'The Burst' Shows off High-flying Parkour & Rapid Shooting ActionĪlso 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. Dynamic Dimming Lenses Image courtesy AR XR MRĬurtis shared that Magic Leap 2 can adjust the light transmission of its lenses from 22% to 0.3%. 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.
