At long last, the day has come. Magic Leaphas shared a first look at what they’ve been building with the cash they’ve raised from Google, Alibaba and others.

Today, the highly valued augmented reality startup shared early details on the Magic Leap One “Creator Edition,” an AR headset for developers (“Built for Creators”) that the company says it will ship in 2018. No details on price as of yet or when a consumer version could emerge, but hey, something exists!

It’s probably not the most understated product you’ve ever seen, but it’s not a helmet. The Magic Leap One “Creator Edition” consists of three pieces of hardware.

Lightwear: a headset utilizing the company’s ” Digital Lightfield” display technology with multiple integrated sensors to gather spatial information.


Lightpack: a fairly hefty circular belt-worn hip pack that contains the compute powering the headset and is tethered to the goggles.

Control: a handheld controller that can be tracked in space that helps users navigate menu selections and the world Magic Leap is building.
