Great piece. As an entrepreneur in the CV/AR industry, it's interesting to see how a larger company examines the problems faced by technology that is about to converge. As a smaller company, we have to come up with a product that will stick in a related industry that will hopefully position us well when the time comes for true AR (hard or soft).

That has to be one of the most useless articles I've ever read.

But that article does nothing to share any actual useful information, so far as I can tell.
