Magic Leap Unveils Android XR Smart Glasses Prototype, Extends Partnership with Google

Magic Leap has announced an Android XR smart glasses prototype, revealing a significant development in the company's augmented reality endeavors. By extending its partnership with Google, Magic Leap aims to bring wearable AR technologies within reach.

The prototype exhibits modern smart glasses design, featuring thick frames housing electronics and a camera lens on the left side. Although specifics about the glasses are scarce, the collaboration between Magic Leap and Google seeks to integrate display technologies that render all-day wearables more feasible.

Google's Android XR operating system powers these new glasses, with Samsung's Galaxy XR headset being the first device to utilize this operating system. The partnership is a key turning point for Magic Leap, which has faced difficulties in recent years.

A significant investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, totaling over $1 billion, followed by a pivot toward enterprise solutions with the release of Magic Leap 2, demonstrates the company's efforts to adapt and evolve. Recent layoffs, primarily among sales and marketing teams, underscored another change in direction. The licensing of its technology is seen as an attempt to regain momentum.

Magic Leap has recently disclosed that it will utilize Google's Raxium microLED light engine in conjunction with its own waveguides and optics to advance display technologies for augmented reality. This move signifies a crucial step toward realizing the potential of extended reality technologies, particularly with the involvement of 100 former Magic Leap employees working on Android XR projects alongside their new collaborators at Google.
 
Wow 🤯! Magic Leap is finally making progress after all those challenges they faced. I'm really interested in how this partnership with Google will shake up the AR industry... Samsung's Galaxy XR headset is gonna be a great test run for these new glasses! 💻 Can't wait to see if we'll get our hands on these before they hit the market 🕰️
 
omg u guys i am literally so hyped rn about magic leap and google collab!!! 💥👓 it's like they're finally taking xr tech seriously and making it wearable 🔍💻 and with that investment from saudi arabia... fuhgeddaboutit 🤑 they gotta deliver now or risk losing everything 💔 i mean, the magic leap 2 thing was a decent try but they still had to pivot lol what's next? are they gonna bring xr to the masses or just leave it for enterprise clients 🤖💸 and btw, those former magic leap employees working on android xr projects with google? genius 🔥 let's see if they can finally make this thing happen 💪🏽
 
I gotta say, I'm intrigued by this Android XR smart glasses prototype from Magic Leap 🤔. On one hand, extending its partnership with Google is a great move, and it's awesome to see them collaborating on display technologies that'll make AR wearables more practical. The investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund was pretty bold too, and I guess adapting to the enterprise solution thing worked out for them.

On the other hand, I'm not entirely convinced about this tech just yet 🤷‍♂️. We're still talking about a relatively new market here, and Magic Leap has faced some challenges in the past. The fact that they're licensing their tech is definitely a step back, but I guess it's better than being stuck in limbo.

I'm curious to see how these Android XR glasses will actually play out – will we see them become mainstream anytime soon? Maybe this partnership with Google will be the boost Magic Leap needs to regain momentum 💪.
 
So they're finally making some progress with these smart glasses! I was skeptical about them when they first came out, but if this prototype is a real game-changer... it's gonna be cool to see how AR tech can improve our daily lives 🤔💻. The partnership with Google makes sense too - who wouldn't want a seamless Android experience? And, I gotta say, $1 billion from the Public Investment Fund is no joke 💸. We'll have to wait and see if this investment pays off for Magic Leap, but so far, so good 👍.
 
🤔 I think this is a great example of how innovation can be sparked by pivoting and adapting to changing circumstances. Magic Leap's decision to shift focus from consumer-facing solutions to enterprise software is a bold move that could ultimately lead to bigger rewards in the long run.

It's also interesting to see how partnering with Google will help take Android XR smart glasses to the next level - like, who wouldn't want to wear AR glasses all day? But seriously, this partnership highlights the importance of collaboration and open innovation in pushing boundaries. And let's not forget that it takes a lot of courage (and sometimes, a few billion dollars 💸) to take risks and try new things.

So, what can we learn from Magic Leap's journey? Well, sometimes you gotta be willing to sacrifice short-term success for long-term growth. It's like, investing in your education or learning a new skill - it might not be the most glamorous thing to do right now, but trust me, it'll pay off in the end! 💡
 
This is gonna be super interesting to see how this all plays out 🤔. I mean, we've been waiting for a while now for some real progress in wearable AR tech and it seems like Magic Leap is finally making moves in the right direction. Partnering with Google on Android XR makes total sense - they're basically creating a power user for augmented reality glasses that'll make them super comfy to wear all day. But, I'm curious, what's gonna be the end game here? Are we talking mass production and consumer release anytime soon or is this more about enterprise solutions for businesses? One thing's for sure, it's exciting to see some big-name players like Magic Leap investing so heavily in AR tech - fingers crossed they can make it a reality 🚀
 
so they're finally getting some android xr smart glasses going 🤔... i'm not sure if this is gonna change everything but it's def a step in the right direction... magic leap has been trying to figure out how to make augmented reality not feel like you're wearing two phones on your face and google is definitely helping them with that... and now they're using samsung's technology too, which is a big deal 🤑... i'm curious to see if this thing will actually work as well as it looks 👀
 
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT MAGIC LEAP'S NEW ANDROID XR SMART GLASSES PROTOTYPE!!! 🤩 IT'S LIKE THEY'RE TAKING AUGMENTED REALITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL! WITH GOOGLE'S HELP, I GUESS WE CAN EXPECT THESE Smart Glasses TO BE MORE FEASIBLE FOR EVERYDAY USE. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a tiny display and a camera in their face all day?

AND WITH 100 FORMER MAGIC LEAP EMPLOYEES WORKING ON THIS NEW PROJECT, I GUESS WE CAN EXPECT SOME SERIOUS UPGRADES TO THESE Smart Glasses.
 
I'm low-key hyped about this 🤩! Magic Leap's been struggling to get its AR game together for years but now it seems they're back on track 💪. The partnership with Google is a huge win, especially since Android XR is already being used in the Samsung Galaxy XR headset 📱. I love how they're licensing their tech and working with former employees who know the ins and outs of Magic Leap 🤝. It's clear they're trying to regain momentum and make AR more mainstream 🌐. The investment from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is also a huge confidence booster 💸. Now let's see some real-world applications for this tech! 📱💻
 
I'm reading this now and I'm kinda impressed? Like, who wouldn't want to see these smart glasses come to life 🤯. I mean, the fact that they're using Google's Raxium microLED light engine is a huge step forward, right? It's like, the more advanced display tech, the better we can experience AR without feeling all squinty-eyed 🕶️. And 100 former Magic Leap employees working on Android XR projects with Google?

I'm so down for these Magic Leap smart glasses 🤖! I mean, who doesn't want to look like a total nerdfighta while browsing cat vids online? The fact that it's got thick frames and a camera lens is actually kind of cool, I guess. And with Google on board, I'm sure it'll be totally stable and not crash every five seconds. The idea that Samsung's Galaxy XR headset was the first to use Android XR operating system just makes me think that Magic Leap is trying too hard to keep up, you know? But hey, at least they're investing a gazillion dollars or whatever from Saudi Arabia 🤑. I'm also super stoked about the waveguides and optics thingy – it sounds like magic (no pun intended) 🔮!

🤔 So I'm thinking, this is like super interesting news right? Like, magic leap has been around for a while now and they've had some ups and downs but I guess partnering with google is gonna be the game changer here. I mean think about it, android xr smart glasses aren't that far off from what we're seeing in movies like Iron Man or The Matrix and this is kinda real life. The fact that google's powering these new glasses means they'll probably be way more advanced than what we see today. Like the display tech they're talking about with microled light engine, it sounds so futuristic. And now magic leap employees are working on android xr projects alongside their old colleagues at google, that's like some next level stuff right there. I don't know if it'll revolutionize anything but this is definitely something to keep an eye on.
 
🤔 so magic leap is finally getting its act together after all that drama 🙅‍♂️ they've been trying to get these android xr smart glasses right for ages but this collab with google might just do the trick 👍 i mean who wouldn't want a pair of smart glasses that can last you all day 🕒 and with samsung already having their galaxy xr headset on board, it's like magic leap is finally part of the bigger picture 🌐
