Magic Leap has announced that they are launching new programs that are aiming to help developers create using the Magic Leap One, the Magic Leap AR headset. These programs are likely going to help fill their recently announced developer conference that is being held at the companies head quarters in Florida.
The hardware that the company is giving away will be going through the ‘Access Hardware’ initiative. This is aimed “to put Magic Leap devices in the hands of developers who are serious about publishing applications with Magic Leap.” To apply, you can visit the most recent blog post on the Magic Leap website.
Developer Conference
The developer conference is going to be incredibly fun and helpful for aspiring developers as well. There will be two difference groups. One will take place May 19-20 and the other will be May 21-22. Both with be in Florida at the Magic Leap HQ. There will be a lot to do during the week. They say that they will “provide behind-the-scenes access to help accelerate their development and the growth of their businesses. During their time with us, they will meet face-to-face with members of our developer relations, studios, and go-to-market teams and have the chance to interact with the engineers and designers building the core Magic Leap hardware and platform.”
Another description of the week says “We’ll dive into development best practices, reveal much of what our teams have learned as we’ve built our 1st party applications, share insights on the growing enterprise market opportunities for spatial apps, and offer sneak-peeks of upcoming developer-focused features and technology. Developers will have direct access to Magic Leap technical, creative, and business leads and hands-on workshops.”
