• Pixi CEO Mark Drummond thinks headsets are not worth the hassle for AR developers.
• Pixi is working on something that could best be described as the AR version of the email greeting card.
• When it launches in the coming weeks, Pixi will let anyone pick an interactive character and a scenario, add a personalized message, and then send it to their contacts via iMessage or WhatsApp.
• Once the recipient opens such a Pixi message, the character appears overlaid in the camera view of their real-world environment, and interacts with them.
