#2HoloKit, originally a Google Cardboard-like AR device for the iPhone, has been relaunched as a more premium $150 iPhone accessory. Unfortunately no SDK available anymore (for now at least).
Looks interesting. Has anyone here tried it?

#3I absolutely adore the touch interface on the hanging lip of the phone!
Spectator mode was also an incredible idea.
Kudos to HoloKit's design team!

#4I'm mildly bullish on AR, especially compared to the escapism offered by VR; thanks for sharing as I'll be keeping an eye on this space.

#6Does this have an embedded microphone for audio input? I quickly skimmed the tech specs and it looks like the answer is "no" (presumably if you want that, the intention is that you use AirPods/some other Bluetooth input device).

#7I am way more interested in a digital world being overlaid on the real world - augmenting rather than escaping.
I’m not sure if I’d like to walk around the streets wearing them though - would be incredibly annoying to other people and a risk of being stolen.

I was looking around the website for an SDK, it's a shame they don't have one, otherwise I'd be tempted

#9Really interesting setup. Can see quite a few industry-specific applications for this in my area where we'd consider Google Glass but is simply too closed down / too expensive at the moment.
Hope it does well, but I can't really look into it until they open the SDK. The "curated partners" thing doesn't inspire much confidence.

#10Two thoughts
1. The dork factor is still in play here. I don't see this being popular by any means, so there needs to be a killer app.
2. I need to see a nice AR game like Pokemon GO integrated with this. I imagine that's the first/best killer app.
