Hi! Magic Leap 1 had limited object recognition capabilities at a certain point. Is this available in Magic Leap 2, also?

Hi @jamesashley1, the Magic Leap 2 platform and operating system has robust capability for third-party developers to create solutions around object recognition. One excellent solution is PTC's Vuforia Engine. You can [learn more here](https://developer-docs.magicleap.cloud/docs/guides/third-party/ptc/vuforia-overview) and [test out a sample here](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/vuforia-magic-leap-2-sample-245664#releases).

Thank you. That's what I needed to learn. 🙂

I have heard that Magic Leap is planning to release 3D Object Detection this summer. Are there any differences between this and PTC?
