Ive no problem them rebuilding the trade centres virtually, but to make it the first thing you do is a bit going after the press, imho.

That said, it demonstrates nicely something AR is perfect for; Showing us stuff that’s no longer there.
Historic and destroyed building overlays I can see becoming very big in AR.

One question though; I know its earlier days and hardware isnt that powerfull….but surely we could still have textured objects no?
