Spider-man video game maker Insomniac unveiled a new augmented reality demo dubbed Seedling for the Magic Leap One Creator Edition AR glasses. The Seedling demo lets you take care of a plant, which holds the promise to save the Balagan galaxy, where the Schmelling (I am not at all sure of the spelling here) incident...
Magic Leap showed off a demo of Mica, a humanlike artificial intelligence that can be viewed in the company’s augmented reality glasses, the Magic Leap One Creator Edition.

Leading the collection of small announcements, a new Avatar Chat app will soon enable multiple people to talk in a shared 3D space, and next year, improved...
Magic Leap sees its spatial computing as a new medium. And so it makes sense that others will use the augmented reality platform to take things from older media, like Shakespeare’s plays, and put them into AR.
