Why We’re Developing Our Ecommerce AR Software For PC Users, Not Mobile

Posted by:

In the past we’ve addressed some of the technical limitations that we see with the mobile augmented reality space in general. In this post, I want to get very specific and address why we don’t currently develop our ecommerce augmented reality software for the mobile market (as we get this question a fair amount).
