Tilt Five picks up CastAR’s augmented reality technology and starts new Kickstarter

Tilt Five is picking up where CastAR, the augmented reality startup that shutdown in 2017, left off. And now Tilt Five, run by CastAR cofounder Jeri Ellsworth, is launching a new Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for a new set of AR goggles for tabletop board games.

Ellsworth said in an interview with GamesBeat that she and a small team managed to acquire the assets of CastAR from a bank that owned them. That small team of five people has been working on making a new version of the AR glasses to launch for $300 next year. The glasses project 3D holographic images in front of your eyes, and that makes it feel like you’re seeing a virtual layer on top of the real world or like you’re immersed in a virtual world.
