Augmented Reality (AR) just came a little closer to all of us. AR startup ‘Magic Leap’ has taken the initial steps to opening its platform to 3rd party developers.
It has announced a preview of its software development kit & “creator portal,” which will offer resources for people who want to build for its yet-unreleased Magic Leap One headset.
This is what it posted on its official blog:
Late last year, we gave the world its first look at our initial product, Magic Leap One, Creator Edition, and today — as developers from around the world descend upon San Francisco for GDC 2018 — we’re excited to announce a Technical Preview of our Creator Portal and SDK as the next step toward our launch. These tools and resources will be the first opportunity for creators to dive into the world of spatial computing and explore the building blocks of this next generation of human-computer interaction on Magic Leap.
Also we’re pleased to announce that, starting today, you can download Technical Preview builds of Unreal Engine 4 or Unity® to explore spatial computing on the Magic Leap platform. Teaming up with the world’s leading 3D engine providers, Epic Games and Unity Technologies, opens a clear pathway to creating on the Magic Leap platform and puts spatial computing development within reach for developers familiar with these engines.
