Magic Leap showcases Google AR glasses with Raxium microLED and Gemini support

Magic Leap is a company that invests in AR and has already showcased AR glasses before. These glasses are designed to create a kind of overlay on reality or at least display digital content in the user's field of vision. A wide variety of applications are conceivable, including assistance in everyday life, on vacation or even in professional contexts.

Google itself is also active in the AR sector and, in light of its new cooperation with Magic Leap, is likely to be more active on the software side. To this end, both companies have jointly presented a prototype intended to serve as a kind of reference design for Android XR. Such reference designs are not necessarily launched on the market in this form, but are ultimately to be understood as a kind of reference design that can serve as a basis for the development of proprietary products. Put simply, other manufacturers could integrate additional features and make design adjustments without having to create the basic architecture themselves. Much like the Android OS.

Magic Leap also delves into some of the technical details. The device utilizes Google's Raxium microLED technology, while the optical system and waveguide come from Magic Leap. A video demonstrates the system's compatibility with Gemini, enabling context-sensitive questions. Gemini can also analyze image content, such as the architecture of a building. On a golf course, the model is even said to be able to recommend the correct golf club.
