Magic Leap Gives the World a Peek at Lumin OS
The screenshots follow on the heels of the preview release of the Lumin Runtime, which enables multiple apps to run within the user's field of view, or landscape. Note that access to the more detailed information requires registration with the Creator Portal, but that's basically just sharing your email address.
"Like desktop computing, you can use one app at a time, or you can also have many apps open simultaneously. Since this is spatial computing, to use an app you simply look at it and then interact with it. You can naturally spread your apps around in actual space, just like you would with furniture or posters on a wall. This is your mixed reality landscape," states Magic Leap's technical documentation.
One very interesting revelation is casting, which enables ML1 users to share their view with others, who are able to view the host user's displayed content relative to the ML1's position. While the cast icon looks similar to the share icon in Android, actual media sharing will occur through the Gallery app.
We get a look at the app launcher in motion, voice detection feedback, and gesture-based menu selection, as well as LEDs on the Lightpack and controller reminiscent of the Amazon Echo.
