AR/VR developer, startupper, zombie killer. Sometimes I pretend I can blog, but actually I've no idea what I'm doing.

May I have just randomly found in China a potential substitute for the HoloLens?

May I have just randomly found in China a potential substitute for the HoloLens?

One of the biggest problems for companies that invested in augmented reality to improve their production processes is that the two leading headsets, HoloLens and Magic Leap, have both been discontinued.
