CastAR will return $1M in Kickstarter money and postpone augmented reality glasses shipments
The CastAR glasses can project 3D holographic images in front of your eyes so that you can either feel like you’re seeing a virtual layer on top of the real world or feel like you’re immersed inside a game world. It works with glasses and a reflective sheet-like material called “retro-reflective.” While you could theoretically use the reflective sheets to animate an entire room, CastAR has decided to focus on using smaller sheets for tabletop gaming.
“We are shifting out of Kickstarter mode into a more professional mode,” Henkel-Wallace said. “Not everyone manages that properly. We are doing this out of a position of strength. We still plan to ship a consumer product in 2017. That’s different from the original Kickstarter timeline.”
