Magic Leap is an [[Augmented Reality]] device [[AR Platform|platform]] founded by [[Rony Abovitz]] and developed by [[Magic Leap (Company)]]. Developing in stealth mode since 2011, Magic Leap's goal is to create [[Cinematic Realism]]. The company has raised over 590 million dollars from [[Google]], Qualcomm, Andressen Horowitz and other investors.
The main device of Magic Leap is a head-mounted display with a tiny projector that shines light onto a transparent lens, which deflects the light onto the user's retina. Named [[Dynamic Digitized Lightfield Signal]] by Magic Leap, this process is different from the traditional stereoscopic 3D technology used in movies and other [[VR]] devices such as [[Oculus Rift]]. Dynamic Digitized Lightfield Signal does not trick your eyes to create 3D effects, instead it utilizes the projector and lens to shine light into your eyes directly. The result is sharper and more realistic rendered imageries. Similar to [[HoloLens]], Magic Leap intends to use its technology to blend the real world with that of the artificial.

In October 21, 2014, Magic Leap raised 542 million dollars in Series B round from [[Google]], [[Qualcomm Ventures]], Andressen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, Legendary Entertainment and Obvious Ventures.
