Independent movies helped Austin Lugo define who he is. He along with his partners want to bring that same passion to VR. There’s something special about seeing a film or live show at an independent arthouse theater.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

It’s all about AR experiences whose value is tied to locations. We’re talking informational overlays on storefronts and waypoints. If this sounds familiar, it’s the foundational principle behind the AR cloud?
