Magic Leap reveals new AR headset and fresh funding

Unlike virtual reality (VR), the AR Magic Leap headsets project digital 3D objects on top of the real world.

The new headset is intended primarily for business use and has, the firm says, a wider field of view.

Magic Leap has faced criticism for the time it has taken to develop working prototypes and products.

This week's $2bn valuation and $500m of fresh investment is almost exactly the same as a funding round in 2014 which also valued the company at $2bn, as highlighted by tech news site TechCrunch.
