THE PURSUIT OF 
AUGMENTED REALITY 
BY CHRIS BEAMAN
The anticipation is building for augmented 
reality in our daily lives. With every month 
that passes, it seems as though we are closer 
and closer to utilizing what used to be just an 
elusive idea in science fiction films. Now, big 
players like Google, Facebook, and Sony are 
all investing in virtual reality, which means 
this race is only getting started.
Most recently, Google invested $542 million in Magic Leap, a 
startup with ambitions to incorporate virtual reality 
interfaces to your everyday phone and computer screens.
Founded on the idea that, “Computing and 
technology should bend to us, to our needs, to 
our humanity, and to our experience. People 
should be first. Technology should serve us. 
Computing should match human experience, it 
should respect human physiology.”
The investment indicates a significant trend among the 
biggest names in tech. Facebook, Sony, and Samsung are all 
opening the door to virtual-reality technology. With the 
emerging excitement and demand of wearable tech, it makes 
sense that Google is walking through the door as well. 
Phones, computers, gaming, education, film and just your 
average day to day life may greatly benefit from this 
developing technology.
The company has designed a head-mounted 
device that functions like glasses. With the 
technology engaged, it can display computer-generated 
images in the wearer's field of vision.
Anyone familiar with Google and their products 
can see where this may be applicable. Google also 
develops a head-mounted product referred to as 
Google Glass, a device which displays information 
from your smartphone to a small screen fixed to a 
wearable metal frame, or “glasses.”
The Magic Leap team is also helping to create buzz.
Graeme Devine, computer game 
designer and programmer.
Weta Workshop, the special effects team behind movies 
like "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit.”
Brian Wallace, well-known tech marketer.
One thing is certain, the mysterious 
startup clearly has the proper support, and 
the potential appears to be, in their words, 
magical.
