Magic Leap Hub (formerly known as The Lab 2.0) is a piece of software for managing your Magic Leap 2 development tools and connecting your device to your desktop computer, similar to The Lab for the original Magic Leap. It can be download from our Magic Leap 2 Developer Portal. You'll need to enable Developer Mode to use ML Hub.
