Get HoloKit X

I am a new media artist at Harvard University, really interested in AR and VR works and experiences.I have tried several headsets, the biggest problem is the cost and weight. Holokit is really clever to embed an iPhone into the headset, making the best use of the hardware and system of the iPhone. All the recording and photos could be directly saved on the phone, making it really easy for file transfer. And the headset is much smaller and lighter than other products.Also, my eye glasses could easily fit into the headset. So there is no need to adjust the focus!Some potential improvements: The iphone system needs to be the latest iso 16.2. It takes me some time to update it on my phone. Some games need to be played with Apple Watch. I don't have one so I need to play together with my friend.

I spent much more time than I expected on this. My friend and I had an amazing time playing AR games, running and jumping around with our new AR device! It stayed firmly in place, unlike other AR devices we've tried before. Although the pictures were a bit transparent when the environment was too bright, finding a darker place helped. All in all, it was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it!

I bought the HoloKit X cause my kids love playing cellphone games but were sitting on the couch all day on “freemium” games. The HoloKit X was very easy to set up, just follow the included instructions or the ones on the app and you are good to go.The gameplay was great, my kids were jumping around thinking they were wizards in a magical duel. I thought that the kit would be heavier and maybe strain their necks but it is very light and can be worn comfortably. Also, unlike VR sets we have tried in the past, the AR HoloKit doesn’t cause nausea or seasickness. I always had that issue with full VR.While I got it for the kids, whenever we have guests often bring out the HoloKit, its good fun during cocktail hour ;)Overall I have so far had a very positive experience with the hardware, and the content. Looking forward to more content coming out soon!

Running this app with the HoloKit hardware, it provides one of the best AR experience I ever had.

Images are sharp. Viewing in a dim place helps. All in all, it is an awesome tool for quick prototyping and I highly recommend it!

This app is amazing especially in couple with the novel headset (cost only $129) then you got the stereoscopic AR experience similar to Hololens 2 or Magic Leap, either of which costs over $2000. The app already includes a few engaging AR experiences that are ready to play out of the box, and it’d be so fun to play with your friends and fight with each other in AR. The developers plan to add new content over time, which makes the experience more durable.

Being an AR developer, I absolutely appreciate the effort to make AR headset more affordable for everyone! I recommend everyone hasn’t used AR headset/ glasses to try it.

I would give this 5 because I love being able to play magic in real life with my friends, it’s surreal but realistic at the same time. Besides, it is easy to use and provides detailed instructions for green hand. I had so much fun and this is definitely my favorite AR game app!
