This may be a dumb question. How do I know I am running on a ML2 device in Unity? Apparently it is Android runtime. Is there a Macro define that distinguishes ML2 from other Android devices?

Thank you @dhartley ^

@rick if you just want a simple condition based on current hardware, you can read `SystemInfo.deviceName` which will return `Magic Leap 2`
