Magic Leap to blend digital and real world

Magic Leap, a US based start-up has announced to bring out its software development kit in the market that would help create digital objects that are almost real. The SDK promises to redefine augmented reality through Magic Leap's use of its "Dynamic Digitized Lightfield Signal.

The Florida-based company operates in shrouded mystery and speaks with riddles, dropping clues along the way- like biomimetic- but has yet to reveal its biggest secret except by saying "it is about erasing technology".

At the EmTech digital conference this month, Magic Leap said it would soon start making a software development kit available to interested developers.

This means several developers can actually try their hands on SDK to execute their visualization. Interested developers can visit the official website of Magic Leap to sign up. The augmented reality developer explained SDK uses the Unity and Unreal game engines to create content.

Magic Leap CEO, president and founder Rony Abovitz said that they will throw open a wide platform for every app and game developer, filmmakers, writers and artists.

He, however, did not confirm the possible release date of the SDK but said will be ready 'soon'. Abovitz said that the company is presently constructing fabrication facilities to develop components for the device, including the main manufacturing facility in Florida. Magic Leap is also into computer science work in Mountain View with its team in Texas and Los Angeles.

For creation of the said platform, Abovitz said Magic Leap will not be using ready-made components and that is one of the reasons that it had to raise a huge funding from the market.

Graeme Devine, chief creative officer of Magic Leap said gaming is a great place to start but in the coming days it can develop softwares that "make you better and smarter as a human".

"We know how to live in the world. We're making computer interfaces that are much more about how our biology works," he added.

Google and a host of other tech companies have sizable investment in Magic Leap, amounting to $542 million, according to TechCrunch.
