Magic Leap, an innovator in headborn AR devices, seeks to develop an Omniverse USD Viewer for the Magic Leap 2 device by building on their existing Omniverse kit prototype system. The development of this application will continue to solidify Magic Leap’s industry position as an AR leader by connecting enterprise users and workflows in a cohesive ecosystem of next-generation visualization.
The user base for this project consists of technical creative and engineering professionals in the 18-50 age range. The main requirements were consistency across the Magic Leap ecosystem and an intuitive mixed reality experience. The app needed to be easily understandable by people without any specific experience with XR devices.
The first problem we needed to solve was getting the Magic Leap 2 headset and Omniverse in sync. Because the USD Viewer app will be developed as a remote viewer rather than a native Magic Leap package, the onboarding user experience needed to have essentially three entry points.
The second problem was how to initiate Omniverse Live into the XR experience. Omniverse Live is Nvidia’s real-time collaboration technology across different software and hardware.
The UX study, basic branding, and extensive lo-fi and hi-fidelity designs were released in the time span of just two months. Because we worked directly with Magic Leap we were able to quickly iterate and validate the UX flows every release cycle (weekly). Built as a collaboration tool across software suites, the product is released on the Omniverse marketplace, and expanded to support other software as well.
