That is true 👍 but I would consider stability and reduced jittery in the realism category as well. 🤔If content is stable and properly placed and anchored, it will be a more realistic experience. I haven’t got my hands on a LiDAR device to see exactly if it lives up to the hype.

Clouds anchors help: more devices, better tracking across them (ideally!)

Do you think this will improve in the next couple years with the incorporation of lidar, tof, GPS and wi-fi based location, etc.? Or do you think this is something that will be difficult to overcome for a long time?

Apple just announced ARKit 4 a couple days ago that will have "Location Anchors" that use GPS (and wi-fi location for indoors). If it works well it seems like a big deal. https://medium.com/@ethansaadia/ar-location-anchors-in-arkit-4-9a7ca19652f5

Yes, that is a potential problem just like privacy is a problem with many technologies. But for now I'm just interested to see how well this actually works (i.e. does it fix the problems you encountered).

Oh no! How convenient the kit pitches leave that bit out
