Magic Leap Joins the Pack - Wolvic
LocalJoost 🥽I just blogged: Cross-platform spatial QR code tracking for #HoloLens2 and #MagicLeap2 with a #RealityCollective #ServiceFramework Service, part 1 https://localjoost.github.io/Cross-platform-spatial-QR-code-tracking-for-HoloLens-2-and-Magic-Leap-2-with-a-ServiceFramework-Service,-part-1/ #XR #Crossplatform #MixedReality #AR
Two weeks ago I released my #MRTK3 based app Walk the World for #HoloLens2, a week later the exact same app for #MagicLeap2. I promised to blog how I so easily and quickly got that done, and here it is: my 'recipe' for getting MRTK3-based HoloLens 2 apps to run on Magic Leap 2. https://localjoost.github.io/Making-an-MRTK3-based-HoloLens-2-app-run-on-Magic-Leap-2/ #openxr #MixedReality
Making an MRTK3 based HoloLens 2 app run on Magic Leap 2
This is a bit of an unusual post, as it does not have a project attached to it. Instead, it’s more like a recipe that I followed to get my app “Walk the World”, originally developed for HoloLens 2, to run on Magic Leap 2. Or actually, how I did it after retracing all my steps, cutting out all the useless detours, pitfalls, and dead ends I encountered trying it the first time.

Dilmer Valecillos 👓Hello everyone 👋👓
In today's video, we'll go over how to integrate hand tracking features by using the ML2 SDK. We'll also create a demo scene where Magic Leap 2 hand tracking permissions will be configured in Unity, and we'll be building a real-time hand visualizer to display each hand skeleton bone as well as its position and rotation.
📌 Full video available here 👉 https://youtu.be/cCFy8WmdqdU
📚 Video outline:
- Introduction to Magic Leap 2 Hand Tracking Features
- ML2 Hand Tracking Project Setup
- Integrating Hand Tracking with Hand Tracking Manager Script
- Getting XR Input Devices For Left And Right Hand Device
- Building A Hand Tracking Bone Visualizer
- Getting And Displaying Detected Gestures
- Adding Bone Names To Bone Visualizer

Magic Leap Shakes Up Leadership With New CEO
Magic Leap, the AR headset maker, has announced a new CEO, Ross Rosenberg, who will guide the company towards increased profitability and defend its territory against passthrough AR headsets. The company's former CEO, Peggy Johnson, expressed pride in the leadership team she built and thanked employees for reorienting the company to the enterprise market.
#MRTK3 has a subsystem implementation for speech commands that is supported by #HoloLens2. #MagicLeap2 supports voice commands as well, if only someone had taken the trouble of making a KeywordRecognitionSubsystem implementation of it, it would have had MRTK3 support for speech commands as well.
Well, guess what - someone just did. Me. So now you can have voice commands on *both* devices using the same API, and you only need to flip a checkbox in the MRTK3 settings.

An MRTK3 KeywordRecognitionSubsystem for Magic Leap 2
As I have shown already, MRTK3 is very versatile and very well suited for cross-platform development. The architecture is extensible by the usage of Unity subsystems. At Magic Leap, they have used that to implement a version of the Hands subsystem - that allows hand tracking to work - and you can use that by simply selecting a different implementation of the subsystem in the Android MRTK3 profile:
