#How Magic Leap s Augmented reality Works A Florida startup called Magic Leap announced Tuesday that it had received $542 million in funding from major Silicon valley investors led by Google to develop hardware
for a new kind of augmented reality hardware. The secretive startup has yet to publicly describe or demonstrate its technology,
The filings describe sophisticated display technology that can trick the human visual system better than existing virtual reality displays (such as the Oculus Rift) into perceiving virtual objects as real.
The display technology used in most devices can show only flat, 2-D images. Headsets like the Oculus Rift trick your brain into perceiving depth by showing different images to each eye,
but your eyes are focused always on the flat screen right in front of them. When you look at a real 3-D scene,
They describe displays that can create the same kind of 3-D patterns of light rays, known as ight fields,
Earlier this year, Wetzstein and colleagues used that technique to create a display that allows text to be read clearly by people not wearing their usual corrective lenses (see rototype Display Lets You Say Goodbye to Reading Glasses.
He previously worked on glasses-free 3-D displays based on similar methods. And last year, researchers at chip company Nvidia demonstrated a basic wearable display based on light fields.
A trademark filing from July describes Magic Leap technology as earable computer hardware, namely, an optical display system incorporating a dynamic light-field display.
One of Magic Leap patents describes how such a device, dubbed a WRAP, for aveguide reflector array projector, would operate.
The display would be made up of an array of many small curved mirrors; light would be delivered to that array via optical fiber,
Multiple layers of such tiny mirrors would allow the display to produce the illusion of virtual objects at different distances.
That would allow the mirrors to be reprogrammed using a magnetic field to rapidly display points at different depths fast enough to fool the eye
Magic Leap greatest challenge may be to find a way to seamlessly integrate virtual 3-D objects created by that display with
and eye-tracking cameras on a wearable display to figure out at what depth a person eyes are focused.

however, this doesn mean you can actually bend the screen. As with other devices featuring flexible displays,

chief marketing officer for Applied materials, a company whose equipment is used to make displays, is also extremely difficult to make a flexible backlighthe component needed to illuminate LCD pixels.
So the screen in the Apple Watch is almost certainly an OLED display. Rather than the pixels being illuminated by a backlight,
Manufacturers can already make OLED displays flexible. They first laminate a sheet of plastic to glass and then deposit the materials for the pixels and the electronics on top of both.
and afterwards the plastic, together with display and electronic components, is lifted off the glass. Manufacturers have known how to do this for years.
so you have to seal the display within robust, high-quality, flexible materials. This is costly, and there are challenges with ensuring that the seal survives being bent hundreds or thousands of times over the lifetime of a device.
Novel materials for touch screens that use flexible nanomaterials could also help. One patent application suggests Apple is already looking at this issue.
