Health tech company Magic Leap has announced that it will be providing a select group of healthcare companies with early access to its second-generation augmented reality headset, the Magic Leap 2.
For example, SentiAI will adopt the technology to improve upon its 3D heart-rendering software, which has been designed to help doctors while they are operating on patients. Meanwhile, health tech startup Brainlab plans to make its Mixed Reality Viewer software available on Magic Leap 2.
"Augmented reality may transform healthcare more than any other industry, at least in the near term," said Peggy Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer of Magic Leap in 2019.
Johnson made these remarks following the launch of the first-generation Magic Leap, which, unfortunately, undersold considering its massive media hype. Certainly, then, it will be interesting to see which healthcare startups opt to integrate the new version of the AR-powered headset into their healthcare solutions.
