The form factor of the device has also changed slightly which will make it more comfortable on the nose and reduce the amount of light entering the device.įurthermore, when purchasing the Magic Leap 2, you will get: An improvement that will make long hour use much more enjoyable. The biggest difference the Magic Leap 2 will have is a lighter weight of 260 grams compared to Magic Leap 1’s 316 grams. Similarly, comfort has always been strong for Magic Leap, from off-loading the processing to an external add-on. Both smart glasses have a distinct design aesthetic and are instantly recognizable compared to other AR headsets. The Magic Leap 2 is a modernized and sleeker version of Magic Leap 1. It was called “Photonic Lightfield Chip” and was used to project 3D images using light manipulation on a nanoscale. Thirdly, the Magic Leap 2 will use the industry standard within augmented reality called “Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS)” working by redirecting light within an attached waveguide lens.Ĭompared to the in-house display engine that was developed for the Magic Leap 1. Enabling Magic Leap 2 to darken the border around objects, making text and other intricate objects more visible and sharp. The introduction of dynamic dimming will allow the Magic Leap 2 to better control how much real world light is entering through the headset. This tackles one of the main weaknesses of the Magic Leap 1, where when used in areas with too much light it could be difficult to work with the holograms and see them. Dynamic DimmingĪ major difference between the Magic Leap 1 and Magic Leap 2 is the introduction of Dynamic Dimming. In comparison the Magic Leap 1’s has 50° diagonal and the Microsoft HoloLens 2 has 52° diagonal, making the ML2 over 25% larger than its predecessor and competitor. Secondly, Magic Leap 2’s now has a 70° diagonal field of view. This is even enhanced with the Dynamic Dimming and Foveated Rendering features of Magic Leap 2 explained below. Higher Resolutionįirstly, Magic Leap 2 will have a crisper resolution of 1536×1856 per eye, than Magic Leap 1’s 1280×960 per eye. One of the key differences between Magic Leap 1 and Magic Leap 2 is the visual experience.

Magic Leap 1’s operating system was also custom built by Magic Leap, whereas Magic Leap 2 will opt for Android as its OS.
Oppositely, the NVIDIA chipset in Magic Leap 1 was used for Autonomous Vehicles’ spatial mapping. Magic Leap decided to change processing partnerships from NVIDIA to AMD for both its CPU and GPU.Ĭomparing the two chipsets, the close partnership with AMD delivers an AR-specific processing solution for Magic Leap 2.
