The patented technology that Magic Leap is using is optical, it projects the image directly onto your eye.
So it will basically just be as small as an optic fiber directed at your eye.

The US patent that use that technology shows that Magic Leap inverted the "camera" to do the opposite.

My guess is that they will use it in both ways, as a camera to see the world through "your" eyes and the projector to place the objects correctly in your field of view.
The demo video shown here focuses the "eyes/camera" on the objects and they respond correctly by going out of focus - this means it has to know how the eyes behave.
- monk_e_boy 11y agoHow do you think the system deals with your eyes moving around? So if you move your head left and swivel your eyes right and focus in close... I don't think I'm understanding how all that works together? They are detecting all movements - head, eyes, lens focus?
- tmikaeld 11y agoEye tracking have been around for quite a while and it seems that even normal cameras can track the eyes and eye focus (Tobii being world leader). If they use the technology mentioned here, it would be very high resolution (4K mentioned in the demo video) at a short distance (mm's) at full focus. But - just as you say, no one yet knows how Magic Leap reads the environment to do proper mapping and focusing on an object in real life (rather than on a screen like some VR headset do) should be very unpredictable.
