Magic Leap, the secretive virtual reality company, has released a video of its product which shows it converting a real office into a sci-fi environment populated by aliens.

The company — which has revealed very little about its plans but is said to have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to finance them — gave a glimpse at what it is working on with a short YouTube video.

The company was planning to speak at TED, the conference organisation, this week but pulled out. It said that the video was “one of the things that we’d planned to share at the talk”.

The video showed a “game we’re playing around the office right now”, according to the video’s description. It is the first video uploaded to the company’s YouTube channel, and the first proper glimpse at what the company could be working on.
