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.

Microsoft’s HoloLens just got a whole lot more useful.
At Build 2018, Microsoft announced a new Remote Assist app that lets users connect with remote experts in mixed reality. In other words, HoloLens is now more collaborative.
With Remote Assist, Microsoft wants workers to be able to solve problems quicker together, even if they’re not physically in the same location.
For example, HoloLens users will be able to share photos, video chat, and even annotate what they’re seeing with remote experts, and vice versa. Remote users don’t need to use a HoloLens to collaborate; they can use laptops, tablets, PCs, phones — doesn’t matter. Read more…
