Google (GOOG) has invested in augmented reality startup Magic Leap.
Several companies invested in Magic Leap and it raised $542 million. Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice president at Android, Chrome and Apps will join the startup’s board, reports Reuters.
Magic Leap is hoping to create “the most natural and human-friendly wearable computing interface in the world.” Part of its plans include a wearable device that can track eyeball movement and project images onto them, Reuters notes.
“It was incredibly natural and almost jarring — you’re in the room, and there’s a dragon flying around, it’s jaw-dropping and I couldn’t get the smile off of my face,” Thomas Tull, CEO of Legendary Pictures, told The Verge.
