There are plenty of products like the Oculus Go, which is just a few hundred dollars, that give you more of a robust kit than something like a Google Cardboard, where you can dip your toe in. We found a really neat solution for virtual reality, but really more of a trainer for any size of group, that goes all the way back to old 3D screens.

As you know, I do some work with Magic Leap — I don’t speak on their behalf — but they just launched the headsets at several AT&T stores, and one of the demos is an AR…well, no, a spatial computing experience for Game of Thrones. They’re just making fun of a lot of trends in a really fun way.

So I feel like one of the big trends that’s happening right now is that with spatial computing, it’s becoming a lot more natural and lot more intuitive.
