(2017-09-08) Garavente Cool Ar Things

Jacqueline Garavente: Cool AR things. The gaping hole in the release of ARKit and ARCore is the opportunity for multi-user experiences

There are many different approaches to this, and here are some of the cool ones I’ve seen lately:

Remi Rousseau of Mimesys showing real time collaboration in the medical field with CT Scans.

David Urbina of Neon, showing persistent content for users to discover

the backend to these multi-user experiences, which Escher Reality demonstrated recently at Y Combinator Demo Day.

Decentraland was the first company I talked to that really got me thinking about this. They’re thinking specifically about a metaverse where the users can own a parcel of land, develop on it, and use blockchain infrastructure to create an incentive mechanism for content generation/use.
