You're in constant communication with your friends and family. The only issue? Nobody uses the same app. Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp — you have contacts spanning all three, and the resulting balancing-act to keep in touch can be overwhelming.

The year in augmented reality 2019 started with the kind of doom and gloom that usually signals the end of something.
