ZapBox started as a Google Cardboard-inspired approach for video see-through MR, but we've now completely redesigned the physical product for the ZapBox use case.
The linked video shows a walkthrough of the older cardboard version, just because the tracking code for the new designs isn't production-ready yet.
Thought I'd share this with HN rather than the general Kickstarter campaign for the new design, as it goes into a bit more technical detail and shows some interesting issues in bringing stereo MR to existing smartphone devices.
Happy to discuss anything technical ZapBox-related here, relating either to the old or the new version. And of course if you want to back the current Kickstarter campaign, that'd be much appreciated too :)
