The folks at iFixit have finally got their hands on Magic Leap’s long-awaited augmented reality headset. And as usual they’re taking it apart to check out what powers this device, except this time they’re saving you a hefty $2,295 in the process.
Magic Leap was founded in 2010 and has raised more than a billion dollars from some heavy-hitters in the tech industry like Google, Qualcomm, and Alibaba. But it wasn’t until just this month that the company started shipping its first product, the Magic Leap One Creator Edition.

After many years of hype around a product that was unseen, Magic Leap opened the curtain to unveil the Magic Leap One last month.
Today, the Magic Leap One Creator Edition goes on sale for $2,295. But this is still far from a consumer release — the pricey kit is aimed at developers who want to make content for the new platform.
The system includes the company’s Lightwear augmented-reality headset, a tiny Lightpack computer, and a controller. While anyone can order one, the price will likely limit it to early adopters, and it’s only available to ship to certain cities, since the deal includes a hand delivery and a personal setup.

After almost four years of hype and billions of dollars in funding, Magic Leap finally has a ship date for the first version of its augmented reality headset.
The Magic Leap One will begin shipping to developers later this summer, the company announced Wednesday.
Following news of a fresh round of funding and an exclusive deal with AT&T, the headset’s creators hosted a live stream to announce that the long awaited ship date would be coming soon. And while there’s still no word on an exact time frame, knowing it’s coming this summer is better than nothing — especially since the company had previously promised an “early 2018” release.
