Workshop

Collaboration in mixed reality is harder than it sounds. When your colleagues are distributed across cities and your workspace is a shared AR canvas, you need tools that handle the complexity of real-time multi-user state, 3D object interaction, and spatial annotation — all without the latency and visual artifacts that break presence.

Workshop is Magic Leap's flagship collaborative AR application for the ML2 headset. It allows teams of 2 to 10 users to work together simultaneously in a shared spatial environment — ideating, prototyping, reviewing designs, and solving problems regardless of physical location. The application supports a rich set of workflows: a map canvas with live geospatial data (Mapbox integration, real-time flight tracking), blank canvases for custom workflows, spatial annotation tools (drawing, arrows, pins), and full 3D object manipulation including scaling and repositioning.

Workshop handles a broad range of content types natively — PDFs, images, 3D models (GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ), and video files — making it usable across industries from architecture and engineering to manufacturing and healthcare. It shipped as a pilot solution for enterprise teams evaluating AR viability in their workflows.
