New team member.<\/p>\n

Brendan is a graphics developer from Australia and is joining Georg in making everything in the universe beautiful, awesome, and graphically performant. He’s already worked on improving random planet generation, fixing black hole issues on the Magic Leap, and is now creating visuals for our experimental liquid planets project, AKA smoothed-particle hydrodynamics<\/a> (SPH).<\/p>\n

Magic Leap 1! We started a new journey into augmented reality in 2019 and we\u2019re really proud of the work we\u2019ve done to bring the full power of Universe Sandbox to Magic Leap as an undiluted experience. Dave and Jacob focused most of the year on Magic Leap with support from the rest of the team.<\/span><\/p>\n
