Building for the Magic Leap is straightforward thanks to the tight integration between Lumin OS (Magic Leap’s mixed reality OS) and Unity. Here’s a demonstration of the new “Magic Maps SDK” — RT with #magicmaps.
Literal mapboxes with @magicleap and the @mapbox Unity SDK. Post and details coming soon. https://t.co/DFWfgEWQlL
The mixed reality headset allows for a more emersive experience than any other device we’ve built on thanks to the 6DOF controller, eye tracking, and hand gestures. Magic Leap has a “zero iteration” feature with a live remote to Unity. So when tweaking the size of the map or any other small change, the update appears immediately in the headset. Morgane captured this the best:
we're all living in 2018 writing software on 2d computer screens while @JimIndeed's living and working in 3018 🔮 @Mapbox + @magicleap is gonna be a great combo~ https://t.co/1N75Svei5M
Want to start building? Email Miro on our team at miro.lysyuk@mapbox.com for early access to our tools.
Really impressed by @magicleap's occlusion. From one of our first tests with the @Mapbox Unity SDK. https://t.co/IY0dtVjFWI
