cnbc said that Microsoft on Tuesday announced Mesh, a service to build apps for people to collaborate in augmented reality.Augmented reality (AR) shows computer-generated images superimposed over the real world, and nearly all the major tech players are working on the technology as they strive to create the next computing platform that will replace the smartphone. However, AR headsets today are often clunky and expensive — Microsoft’s HoloLens starts at $3,500 — and so far they’ve mainly been used in industrial applications. Apple and Facebook are reportedly building their own AR headsets or glasses for release over the next couple of years, which could help validate the market for consumers and create a sort of AR gold rush.
