Some time ago we speculated on the impact the proposed Metaio’s AR chip could have on the industry. As we said earlier, any improvement in AR is good for everybody. Lets take a brief look at the new co-processors, X8 from Motorola and M7 from Apple. All of this, from an AR point of view….
The Irony So Microsoft bought NOKIA phones division. Many people are scratching their heads, why?
