"We added a new stretch goal recently at $700,000 which will allow you to play your videos on VLC with castAR. This will give you a very cinematic experience when using the AR/VR Clip-ons as well as projecting it out to a surface. We will also be releasing a video of the game we created with the Game Jam soon. We are just working on final polish and tweaks. Thanks for everyone who participated and gave us company during the jam."
