📄️ Segmented Dimming
The Magic Leap 2 is a powerful augmented reality (AR) device capable of enhancing user experiences through various features, including Dynamic Dimming. This technology uses the Alpha buffer to automatically generate a dimmer mask, making the content appear more opaque by selectively dimming pixels. This guide will discuss the blend modes in Magic Leap 2 and how they can be toggled at runtime to enable or disable the dimmer, thereby affecting the visual appearance of AR content. Note the Magic Leap 2's Dimmer Layer renders at a lower resolution than the additive display. Therefore, developers must be conscious of it's use and it's affect on the visual appearance of their application.
