Getting Started

These guides serve as a starting point for Magic Leap app development in Unity. If this is your first time developing for Magic Leap, we recommend that you follow the guides sequentially. If you are an experienced Magic Leap developer, these guides can be used as standalone references.

📄️ Install the Tools

This section provides information on how to install and configure the Unity Editor required to develop for Magic Leap 2.

📄️ Create a Project

This section provides instructions on creating a new Unity with a version that is compatible with Magic Leap 2 development.

📄️ Configure Project Settings

This topic describes how to configure the Unity Build Settings to utilize Magic Leap features.

📄️ Render Pipeline Settings

This section assumes you created a new project using the URP template. The URP template project includes a collection of various URP assets, each pre-configured with different settings to represent different levels of quality. However, for Android apps running on our platform, the default configuration does not allow for a smooth 60 FPS experience in even the simplest scene. Follow these steps to configure the URP settings in your project to improve performance.
