Take photos with each other, and post them to the virtual photo walls. - Navigation Channel - Find your way around and check what's on now/next, with virtual signage that displays the event schedule. - Sights Channel - New to San Francisco? Find out more about the things around you, from the buildings on the skyline to the coffee in the snack bars. - Stickerverse - The venue is a giant canvas for you (and everyone else) to fill with your stickers. - VPS Channel - Take a peek under the hood to see how Niantic Lightship VPS is powering the experience. The Reality Channels are ONLY viewable at Lightship Summit 2022 in San Francisco. If you are not at the venue, you can view a 3D invite in AR. Designed by Liquid City

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pillar World at 5.0 against Reality Browser's 1.0. Pillar World also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 1). Reality Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
