Norwegian start-up Ludenso is looking to crowdfund its augmented reality (AR) glasses for smartphones, MagiMask, in a bid to undercut Magic Leap. At $99, the start-up's product is significantly cheaper than its competitor's Creator Edition, priced at $2,295. The successor to the company's MovieMask, which won a Red Dot award for outstanding design, the MagiMask uses a single-lens approach, unlike similar products, allowing full view of the screen with higher resolution. In addition to AR glasses, MagiMask's other products include an app that lets users create their own 3D models and a headset that can be used as a VR viewer.
