It’s often said that for a device to be successful, it needs a “killer app”. But what is a killer app? Can you name one? There is indeed a killer app for PCs, Mobile Phones, and other devices. It’s the one class of app used by everyone, all over the world, to do just about everything. Wars have been fought over them. They are… Browsers!
However, simply dropping a web browser into Augmented Reality isn’t remotely adequate. AR is spatially-oriented, fundamentally 3-dimensional, and invites the user to interact with the virtual and the physical at the same time.
We want to bring Spatial Browsing to everyone. Ideally, we want to bring this technology to:
• Helio – Magic Leap’s Spatial Browser
• Chrome – AR support is currently in Beta
• Firefox – AR support
Additionally, we want to develop a Spatial Browser for more platforms
• Android – A lot of new AR glasses and Headsets are being developed to run versions of Android
• iOS – Rumor has it that Apple will soon have AR and VR support, sometime in the next few years.
