Magnetometers are magnetic sensors that can detect the orientation of the device based on Earth’s magnetic field. Magic Leap 2 does not have GPS, so magnetometers aid in orienting the user in both mapped and unmapped spaces.

Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are sensors that measure the relative position, orientation, and motion of the Magic Leap 2. There are two IMUs in the device: one in the Headset and one in the Compute Pack. IMU data is available at rates up to 1,000 Hz.

The Magic Leap 2 Eye cameras are inward-facing cameras and can be used to determine where the user is looking, and other important information about user behaviors/conditions in relationship to their eye movements or expressions.

The Magic Leap 2 Altimeter collects air pressure readings of the user’s surroundings, which can be used to determine altitude above ground. Altimeters serve as navigational aids, localization aids, and assist in monitoring environments.

The Magic Leap 2 Ambient Light Sensors measure the light intensity in the environment around the user. This can be used to appropriately auto-adjust display brightness and dimming depending on the lighting in the user's location.

Our next sensors to highlight are the four microphones available on Magic Leap 2. Processed microphone streams with acoustic echo cancellation and a stereo pair are available. Developers are also able to access raw microphone streams.

Yesterday we introduced the Magic Leap Hub 3. Magic Leap Hub 3 delivers greater ease of use, performance, and streaming for all Magic Leap 2 users. This video is a more in-depth walkthrough showing the features and use of Hub 3.

A big change with today's 1.8.0 release is that hand tracking is now on be default in the OS, allowing users to go controller free on the Magic Leap 2.

We are excited to introduce the all-new Magic Leap Hub 3, which has been redesigned to be more stable, easier to use, and faster than ever. Download today at

We are excited to announce the release of our 1.8.0 July release. Lots of new things and improvements to explore. Check out the release notes below!.

Next up, the Depth Sensor. Depth sensors collect depth images of the user’s surroundings, which can be used to build spatial scans of the environment. They measure the distance between the device and objects, as well as between objects. Learn more here -

Happy Friday everybody. We want to share something we have been working on. This is a sneak peek of a new learning app that will teach users the basics of AR and how to navigate the OS using hands and controller. Check it out.

The next sensors we are highlighting is the World View Cameras. On the Magic Leap 2 device, there are three outward-facing 1.0 MP cameras which collect wide-view images and video in grayscale of the user’s surroundings and interactions. Learn more here -

The first sensor we want to highlight is the Magic Leap 2 RGB Camera. The RGB Camera is a high-pixel-density color camera that attempts to replicate how the human eye views the world. It is 12.6 MP and includes an autofocus element. Learn more here -

We are excited to announce that the Android client for Magic Leap Spectator is live in the Google Play store! You can download it at We recommend Android version 12 or later. Full documentation at

Having trouble connecting your Magic Leap 2 device to the ML Hub? You might need to enable USB Debugging!. This video will walk you through how to do that, and some of the interfaces you might encounter while doing so.

We've published a new guide in our documentation about accessing sensor data on the Magic Leap 2 headset. Over the next couple of weeks we will post about individual sensors, but if you are too excited to wait, you can check out the whole guide here -

Today we want to get to know our community a little better! Feel free to add more info in the replies!. What is your go-to drink in the morning?.
