Magic Leap grants healthcare startups access to its new AR headset ahead of mid-2022 release

Ahead of a planned enterprise release later this year, Magic Leap has provided a group of healthcare companies with early access to its second-generation augmented reality headset. One of the companies, SentiAR, offers software that allows doctors to see a 3D model of a patient's heart while they're operating them. Brainlab wants to make its software available on Magic Leap 2.

The CEO of Magic Leap said last April that he would see a lot of things happen. She said at the time that augmented reality may transform healthcare more than any other industry.

Magic Leap was one of Silicon Valley's most talked about startups. The Magic Leap One Creator Editionheadset only sold 6,000 units through the first six months of the year. After laying off employees, it received a $350 million investment that gave it a new lease on life.
