PTC announced a strategic alliance with Magic Leap that will allow enterprise and industrial customers to combine the augmented reality (AR) capabilities of its Vuforia Engine solution with the powerful Magic Leap 1 wearable headset.

Vuforia Engine provides users with advanced computer vision and cross-platform reach, and supports a broad range of devices on the market. PTC is offering Vuforia Engine to Magic Leap 1 customers, who will have access to the latest AR innovations of Vuforia Engine, including its differentiated artificial intelligence (AI)-based Model Target technology.
