The HoloCube is an AR system that matches a phone-powered headset with a small cube that comes to life and displays all types of augmented-reality eye candy. It’s being sold as a neat toy, and developers are working on games, educational content, and other kid-friendly experiences that can play out on the cube. But it’s also a peek at the future of AR, and specifically phone-based AR, which is just beginning to show its potential in the wake of the much-hyped VR frenzy. The cube isn’t available yet, but Merge’s goggles are on sale now for $60.
