Magic Leap releases Magicverse SDK with XR Kits for Android, iOS, and Unreal

Modest adoption by developers and enterprises may have stunted Magic Leap’s augmented reality hardware ambitions, but its Magicverse — a shared digital world overlaid upon the real one — is moving one step closer to reality today, as the company has released an early version of its Magicverse SDK for developers. The technical preview of the Magicverse SDK enables developers to offer location-synchronized content across multiple platforms using Magic Leap spatial maps and persistent coordinate frames, assuming that users have access to either a shared cloud or real-time, multi-user networking. Users with mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Android phones will be able to see digital content stored within the Magicverse, though the company says these devices need to be held in landscape orientation to localize in AR.
