The secretive startup has officially launched its hardware, the Magic Leap One Creator Edition, saying it will ship in 2018.
Magic Leap's much-hyped and long-awaited augmented-reality platform just got a little more real with the official introduction of its Magic Leap One Creator Edition. It includes a set of Lightwear smart glasses, a belt-worn Lightpack battery pack and a controller, simply called Control.
The company said it's due to ship in 2018, but gave no pricing information.
