From Flatland to Spaceland
summary
Augmented reality moves from prototypes to usable stacks: consumer headsets add hand tracking and passthrough AR on Oculus Quest, HoloLens targets enterprises at ~$3,500, iPhone 12/13 Pro add LiDAR, and Apple and Google offer AR toolkits (ARKit/ARCore). Cloud layers let apps persist: Azure Spatial Anchors stores point clouds so multiple devices reinstantiate the same 3D placement, Apple Location Anchors run only in select cities, and Google’s visual positioning system uses Street View for sub‑GPS accuracy. Contact‑lens prototypes (Mojo) and Magic Leap show hardware still iterates.
