Magic Leap has announced that the next generation of its augmented reality (AR) headset will arrive on September 30. The Magic Leap 2 will come in three different packaging options, starting at $3,299.
The new headset is slightly more expensive than its predecessor, which was released at $2,295. One of the reasons for this is the change in the company’s focus towards commercial use of the product without targeting the consumer market.
Magic Leap 2 can only be purchased in the “basic” package that comes with headphones and warranty. The next option is the Developer Pro bundle, which comes with headset compatible software development tools and access to early program releases priced at $4,099. Finally, we have the Enterprise option for $4,999. The more expensive version also brings tools for software distribution and quarterly updates for the headset.
The improvements of the new version of Magic Leap are not very impressive, but they are there. Among the key specs, the headset has become lighter, going from 316g to 260g. The field of view has also been increased, reaching 70º in the new generation. The official website lists the full product specifications.
Magic Leap 2 will be sold in select markets, but Brazil is initially out of launch plans.
