LOS ANGELES: Apple may have up to 1,000 engineers working on augmented reality, if estimates from UBS analyst Steven Milunovich are correct. San Francisco-based computer vision startup Occipital is comparably scrappy. But the company nonetheless believes it can beat Apple to market, and is now gearing up to sell an augmented reality (AR) headset for Apple's iPhone next month. In December, it first introduced Bridge to some 600 developers, giving them a way to build augmented reality apps. That's why the company is already working on a new generation of its sensors, to be directly integrated into VR or AR headsets.
