April 2022 OS Release Notes

Features​

  • Added Voice Input "App Specific Voice Intents" for Apps in SDK
  • Hand Tracking: Hand skeleton estimation and tracking for Apps in SDK
  • On-Device Localization and Mapping Tool App: Offline content persistence through spatial anchors on up-to 5 maps
  • Fit and Eye Calibration App: "FitEyeCalib" app, now accessible from the home menu launcher. The application can also be launched directly into specific steps using Android intents, once the step has been unlocked (previous steps completed at least once). For example, the app can be started by any of the following:
    • adb shell am start -a com.magicleap.intent.action.FIT_WEAR
    • adb shell am start -a com.magicleap.intent.action.FITTING
    • adb shell am start -a com.magicleap.intent.action.EYE_CALIBRATION
  • World Reconstruction Planes: Query for planar and semantic surfaces in the environment. Low Frequency Sensor Online Calibration : On-device automatic correction of camera calibrations is now enabled. This is helpful if the cameras experience deformation if the device drops, or mishandling during transport, storage, accumulation of heat or other external physical factors. Gaze Recognition API preview is available. This API provides higher level classification of the "state" of the user’s eyes (e.g., the user is fixating, the user just made a saccade to the right, etc.)

Key ML2 vs ML1 Differences

  • ML2 OS is now based on AOSP, alongside its development toolchain
  • Only immersive applications are supported
  • ML2 Controller: Now based on an optical concept instead of EM
  • ML2 Controller: Now has a dedicated button to bring user back to Home Menu
  • Reality button is no longer available on wearable
  • Updated LED patterns

Known Issues​
