Google works with magic leap on AR optics and manufacturing

In the 2010s, Magic leap is one of the most hyped augmented reality companies, with a lot of money, including from Google. When the magic leap one headset was introduced in 2018, it was not a technological breakthrough in display technology that was once derided. Since then, Magic leap has persevered and has now signed a "multifaceted strategic technology partnership" with Google.

Google announced today that it was interested in "magic leap's leadership in optics and manufacturing.". This will be "combined" with unspecified Google technologies and platforms, with the goal of bringing "a broader immersive experience to market.".

Everything is murky, from magic leap's use of Android XR and access to AR services to Google's desire for magic leap's display technology and manufacturing capabilities for the headphones or eyewear hardware it may be developing.

Here's what magic leap says it can do today in optics and manufacturing while continuing to sell magic leap 2 (launched in mid-2022) to corporate customers. Most similar to Microsoft hololens, it has a truly transparent display that drapes graphics over your line of sight. A separate battery/computing pack connects to the headset.

Google said its partnership with Samsung would not be affected by the magic leap deal, Reuters reported.
Android XR was not announced on I/O 2024, while ar news focused on bringing a virtual experience to Google maps. According to the latest rumors, Google has not developed its own smart glasses or pursued an OEM partner model, as Samsung did on its head display. That was before the hardware layoffs that affected Google's first augmented reality hardware team in January.

    In the interaction between ultra short and ultra strong laser and matter, electrons with short pulse width and high energy are generated, commonly referred to as "hot electrons". The generation and transport of hot electrons is one of the important fundamental issues in high-energy density physics of lasers. Superhot electrons can excite a wide range of ultrafast electromagnetic radiation, as well...
