Magic Leap uses VR to turn its office into first person battleground
Google-backed virtual reality company Magic Leap has unveiled its latest product, which shows its office turned into an robot-populated first person shooter.
The video starts off in what looks like a normal office before the VR elements appear as a heads up display (HUD), depicting a VR operating system. The user then selects the game from a menu at which points everything escalates and they find themselves in a gun battle against a swarm of robots.
Magic Leap – which is generally very secretive about its multi-million dollar plans – revealed very little beyond the impressive footage, offering a glimpse of what it is working on right now.
The footage was originally intended to be shown by Magic Leap at TED
Despite the fact nobody really knows what Magic Leap actually does, Google revealed in October that it had invested US$524m (£352.8m, €486.1m) in the virtual reality company.
According to the video titled Just another day in the office at Magic Leap on the company’s YouTube channel, the game is something “we’re playing around the office right now,” says the description. How close to reality the footage actually is, remains to be seen.
