The Word VR and AR is familiar to
us. However, did you ever heard of MR?
Recently MR(Mixed Reality) which is
a mixed version of AR and VR is a rising star these days.
MR is a technology that has mixed
each advantage of VR and AR: Immersion into virtual reality and sense of
reality of Augmented reality.
Especially, MR can be confused with
AR. The one big keyword that divide AR and MR is “interaction”.
When AR’s digital content is put on
top of your real world, MR’s digital content interacts with your real world.
The most popular startup company
with MR technology is Magic Leap. Magic Leap is well-known by receiving about
1.3 billion dollars from top investing companies in Silicon Valley including
Google and Ali Baba even though they didn’t released an official product yet.
Nothing
was unveiled except it is related to MR even though Magic Leap received huge
amount of money. On June 2015, however, three core manpower of Magic Leap
talked about Magic Leap and SDK(Software Development Kit) in Em
Tech Digital conference which MIT Technology Review had hold.

Have you ever seen Magic
Leap’s demo video?
Jellyfish flies the space and a
robot is hanged under the desk. Also the three-dimensional solar system is up
in the office. A whale come out from the gym and a tiny baby elephant which is
in the palm moves.

Magic Leap uses a wave guide
to overlap three-dimensional image on real world object like Microsoft HoloLense. We call this AR but Microsoft or
Magic Leap call this MR.
Magic
Leap’s goggle is translucent and it uses Photonic lightfield chip which is Magic Leap’s
mysterious technology. According to Magic Leap, it also took a long time for
the developers to state the meaning of “Photonic lightfield chip”. The CEO of Magic Leap state
this chip as a three-dimensional wafer light element consist of very small
structure and ultimately manage the stream of photo that makes digital light
field signal.

Many people are still curious about
Magic Leap because it didn’t revealed
itself that much.
According to VentureBeat, Magic Leap and Disney has a
secret lab in San francisco. It is assumed that Magic Leap is
trying to do a project by inviting developers before its launching.
Many
people already have seen and tried the
technology of Magic Leap but they can’t talk about it because they wrote a
confidentiality agreement. Therefore the
only thing that we can do is waiting until Magic Leap is fully charged.
