Scope AR has raised $2 million in a seed round of funding to expand its enterprise platform for augmented reality. The money came from Susa Ventures, Presence Capital Fund, and New Stack Ventures. AR has been seen as a more distant opportunity than virtual reality, which has been boosted by gaming. But in the long run, AR is expected to be a $90 billion market by 2020, compared to $30 billion for VR, based on estimates by Digi-Capital, a tech advisory firm.
Scope is not making games or Pokémon Go apps. But the company has several big customers on board, like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Honeywell.
