In the video of Vuforia, they show a headset, but I don't see anything about it on their website. Could you share more details?

Microsoft Hololens is 3,000usd. Is there any cheaper AR headset?

The Vuforia video shows a concept headset from ODG and BMW.

Right now there aren't any cheaper AR headsets (worth buying), but there will be later this year. (and now a plug for my own startup: https://www.miralabs.io/)

Can you share more details about mira AR headset? The website doesn't say much.

There's a bit more information on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/MiraLabs.io/), but we're purposefully not sharing much at this time. What I can tell you is it's a consumer-targeted mass market augmented reality headset for under $100. Apps for the platform are built using Unity.

That's nice. And about roughly when the developers will get one?
