Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is more than a step in production. For us, it’s a mindset woven throughout our design, testing, and prototyping process.

Our QA Ethos

QA at Every Step

A Magic Leap technician uses a magnification tool to assist in quality checking small components.

From materials and assembly to performance, our cross-collaborative teams work in lockstep to ensure every layer of our waveguides and displays perform exactly as intended, even at the microscopic level.

With over a decade of experience testing, analyzing, and verifying, we understand how light reacts to the smallest surface variations and alignment shifts. A single imperfection can affect brightness, color balance, or clarity across the entire display.

Human Design and Research

Data-Driven From the Start

Our prototyping process begins long before design, with extensive anthropometric and metrology data.

Having precise measurements in place prior to development means a solid design foundation and a reduced need for major corrections or redesign cycles that slow development and increase costs.

In-Process Checks

Maintaining Quality as We Build

Our deep metrology expertise allows us to calculate, measure, and detect even the smallest adjustments.

Our custom-built proprietary machines not only create components, they also quality test them, radically boosting workflow speed and accuracy.

User Experience Testing

Keeping People at the Center

Our “human-centric” company ethos includes how we approach QA. Every test and inspection is to ensure our designs and prototypes remain centered on the user and their experience. Our cross-functional teams work together to achieve this.
