Augmented reality company Magic Leap has settled a sex discrimination lawsuit
brought by former employee Tannen Campbell. A notice of settlement was filed
yesterday, although further terms haven’t been revealed, and a legal representative
for Campbell tells The Verge that they will remain confidential. The case should be
officially dismissed by June 2nd.

Campbell’s lawsuit, filed in February, alleged that Magic Leap’s executives turned a
blind eye toward sexism at the company. Among other things, it claimed that Magic
Leap employees made comments about women being bad with computers, dismissed
female team members’ input, and created a “macho bullying” culture at the office.

Campbell also alleged that she was fired for pointing out problems with the company’s
treatment of women.

Magic Leap has spent several years working on augmented reality glasses that are
supposed to rival anything currently on the market, including Microsoft HoloLens.
However, the company has been dogged by allegations that it’s facing major technical
difficulties and is far behind on its original plans. It’s currently rumored to be releasing
an augmented reality headset later this year, at a cost of at least $1,000.

Update 3PM ET: Added comment from Campbell’s attorney.
