+LÖVR does not currently support the Magic Leap or "magic window" style AR on phones. There are some

|
+ways to experiment with AR on LÖVR using passthrough devices like the North Star or SteamVR's Room

+View 3D. LÖVR's direction is guided by the community, and as more AR hardware comes out there will
|
|
|
+likely be future demand and development on AR support.
