That must be intimidating to be going up against a company with that level of investment, hype and technology that you state as being "decades ahead of what anybody else has." Are you able to share what company you work for and how you are planning to compete?

Also, what would you consider the best consumer AR and VR experiences available on the market today, or expected to be on the market next year? Super interested in this space, but so far have only been able to demo the GearVR in a BestBuy and have an Unofficial Cardboard 2+ for my crappy Nexus 4 at home.

Can't currently share any details on who we are or what we're working on, but we have a technology that's almost as good from an experience perspective even though they're way ahead of us from a technical perspective. Laserdisk was way ahead of VHS and Betamax technologically, but VHS still won because it provided a better overall experience and was significantly cheaper.

The best consumer VR in my experience is the HTC Vive. I recommend you check it out if they take it on tour to where you live. I haven't tried the production version of Oculus, but I've heard excellent things with it, and I thought Crescent Bay was quite good. Playstation VR isn't as good in my opinion, but most people in the industry expect it be the most popular with consumers as it doesn't require a high-end gaming PC.

There isn't any good consumer-level AR experience that will be on the market in the next year.
