HoloLens Gets Competition with All the Magic Leap Lightwear Place to Launch in 2018

Microsoft mostly gets the augmented reality market to itself using HoloLens. Tech rivals have largely researched virtual reality, while Microsoft has tied up several OEMs into Windows Mixed Truth. But, HoloLens is not yet consumer ready and there is a brand new player in the city. Magic Leap has introduced its “creator version” augmented reality system, the Lightwear.

To flaunt the Magic Leap Lightwear, the Business to Try the device. The demonstration included a digital comic book floating in the fortified space, characters that react to eye contact, along with live performances.

The device is much more streamlined than HoloLens. It is is like a oversized goggle set that matches using a puck-sized outside computer known as a Lightpack.
