Variety: Magic Leap Plans to Use Location-Based Entertainment to Win Over Consumers
The Navigator is a large scale quadruped mech built for Meow Wolf’s Denver exhibition and unveiled at the Magic Leap L.E.A.P. developer conference. The gameplay has two modes: explorer and navigator. In explorer mode, the pilot can choose and explore any one of the seven planets of a two-sun solar system. When the navigator mode is entered, the mech pilot is prompted to solve puzzles by aligning the planets. When they get the planets in alignment, a cinematic animation plays out as a reward. Interaction occurs via a combination of touch screen displays and superimposed AR imagery of distant galaxies displayed in Magic Leap.
