Augmented Reality: Apple bought Metaio

*Well, that's the end of the AR pioneer era.

*Metaio had a good run as the best engineers in AR. I'll miss their sprightly attitude. I wish them the best in future with their (a) new heaps of American money (b) truly colossal computing resources and (c ) the necessity to put up with the grim strategic needs of what may be the biggest, weirdest company in history.

*Getting acquired must have been a tough decision in Metaio HQ, but how could they possibly say no? This is the big-time.
