Holo Interactive’s first product is HoloKit X, an iPhone accessory designed to bring Stereoscopic AR, and the experiences designed to showcase it, to the world at an affordable price point, with a simple, well-designed, and comfortable form factor. HoloKit X is the only accessory in the world to harness the full power of the iPhone, activating the whole camera system and tapping into specific technologies and APIs that many developers have yet to tap into.
HoloKit X offers an immersive-hands free experience, unique in today’s largely handheld/2D AR world, giving users more freedom and ways to interact in space and within their new realities. HoloKit X was designed to be multi-modal and interactive with multiple control inputs at launch, and with more to come in the future – to make experiences hands free if needed but also include physical objects that can be manipulated by a user during a game or within a reality environment.
