Magic Leap announced that it has raised $542 million in financing (led by Google), which will be used
to accelerate development of its proprietary mobile wearable system. According to Rony Abovitz, CEO and founder of the company, “Magic Leap is going beyond the current perception of mobile computing, augmented reality, and virtual reality.”
“Magic Leap’s mission is to develop and commercialize what we believe
will be the most natural and human-friendly wearable computing
interface in the world. What is remarkable is how well the human body
and mind respond when technology respects biology, so truly magical
experiences become possible. In this new world of the intimate
relationship between computing and human sensory systems, Magic Leap is
bending its proprietary technology to meet the very human needs of our
future users and co-creators.”
