Abstract
Mica is an autonomous, photoreal human character that runs on the Magic Leap One spatial computing platform. The past ten years have seen tremendous improvements in virtual character technology on screen, in film and games. Spatial computing hardware such as Magic Leap One allows us to take the next step: interacting with virtual characters off the screen. We believe that virtual characters who are aware of and can interact directly with users in real-world environments will provide a uniquely compelling experience.
