With Apple's announcement of ARKit, Facebook's unveiling of AR Studio, and Snapchat's integration of AR into its core platform, the tech giants are now bursting into the AR space on the heels of Microsoft.
Join us as we demo new technologies and discuss their impact on the both consumer and enterprise markets.
