DCVR NoVA: Exploring Magic Leap One

It’s mysterious, it’s unknown, it’s talked about, and now we can finally see one! Come learn about creating spatial computing experiences with mythical unicorn of Virtual Reality: the Magic Leap One!

Join us at the latest DCVR NoVA chapter meeting on Tuesday, Feb 19 at 7:00 at Nova Labs in Reston, VA. We are lucky enough to have a local Magic Leap Developer. Jordan Higgins of ByteCubes will talk about his experience working with the Magic Leap One, and demonstrate a real unit. In this workshop we'll learn:

° Magic Leap One specs & capabilities
° How it differs from the Microsoft HoloLens
° Overview of Lumin OS, an operating system designed for spatial computing
° Interaction design fundamentals
° Getting started by developing with the emulator on Mac or PC

After this workshop, you'll have a solid understanding of the Magic Leap One and start your journey as a Creator of the Magiverse!

There is plenty of free parking! Everyone is welcome to come early and have a tour of the facility.
