- not_your_vase 3y agoWhat d'ya mean? At least their website is still up, and they seem to have some recent tweets too
- uberman 3y agoAs I recall, their initial hoopla was all around educating and entertaining kids. Perhaps I'm conflating them with MS augmented reality. At the moment, their site seems exclusively tailored to well manicured scientists and "the enterprise".
- sp332 3y agoThey released a new product last year. But it's expensive and I haven't seen a killer app.
- verdverm 3y agoin my opinion, the killer VR/AR apps are work related before the consumer market. HUDs will be much more valuable in jobs that require you to do things in an IRL environment. Think hospital, warehouse, restaurant, and military among others. For knowledge workers, there are apps like Immersed and Virtual Desktop that give you virtual monitors. I'm doing this in a Quest 3 and looking forward to the Visor when it comes out.
