Of course, not everyone wants to—or can—be on their feet for long periods, and plenty of immersive entertainment, like watching movies, is sedentary. Right now we’re stuck thinking in terms of head-mounted displays (HMDs), like the Vive or the Oculus. Neural plugins: The Matrix (film). Total Recall (film). Avatar (film).

At Tilt Five, we designed a really clever system that only works on tabletop experiences but it has features that are just leaps and bounds above what the big Magic Leap or HoloLens type AR systems are.
