Rovio Entertainment and Resolution Games have launched their augmented reality game Angry Birds FPS: First Person Slingshot on the Magic Leap One Creator Edition glasses.

It’s one of the showcase demos on the Magic Leap headset, which I tried out a few weeks ago for the first time. Plantation, Florida-based Magic Leap has a lot riding on cool demos like this one, as it has raised $1.8 billion to date to build its $2,295 AR glasses. The Angry Birds app is one of many that Magic Leap is unveiling at its  L.E.A.P conference in Los Angeles today and tomorrow.
