HoloKit X is a simple, affordable accessory for iPhone that unlocks the world of stereoscopic AR and allows people to Dream Together in new realities. Download the HoloKit X app, follow the simple instructions to pair iPhone, try out a few of the included realities, and then get ready to transport into a new reality to become a wizard or dragon hunter and play with friends. The HoloKit X app includes all content, a series of realities, to demonstrate the capabilities and wonder of stereoscopic AR, experience immersive art dreams created by world-renewed digital artists, and battles with wizards and dragons by casting spells. HoloKit X’s killer feature is face-to-face multiplayer, which allows friends to battle together or against each other as wizards, by casting spells, and hunt down and battle dragons together. This has never been done before with AR and is now available for anybody to use. The HoloKit X app also enables others, with their own iPhone or iPad, to Dream Together with their friends using a unique spectator mode feature where battles, dragon hunts, and immersive art experiences can be viewed in real-time from a second screen. Simply download the app and await a pair request from a friend or friends with HoloKit X (using AirDrop). The HoloKit X app, once iPhone is docked and paired, includes simple controls to switch between realities. The included Apple Watch app enables motion control within HoloKit X realities with any object and using the built-in gyroscope. Now any object you want can be your wand to cast spells in these new worlds and shared experiences. The app also integrates with the Health app on iPhone and Apple Watch, allowing dreamers to track their activity and achieve fitness goals through individual battles and with their friends.

This is an app that uses motion capture to give you an MR experience that makes you feel like you are having a dance lesson with the virtual character Holo-chan. You can pretend to be another Holo-chan and practice the movements of one dance phrase together. *Sony's mobile motion capture mocopi (https://www.sony.jp/mocopi/) will be used for motion capture. *Holo-chan is an original virtual character from Hologram. By using Hologlass Duo / Hologlass Mono, you can have a more immersive experience as an MR or VR app. (You can also play as an AR app with just a smartphone.) https://ho-lo.jp/lp-duo/ https://ho-lo.jp/lp-mono/ *You can have a more immersive experience as an MR or VR app by using Dangla instead of Hologlass, but please note that in that case, you will not be able to freely move the hand holding Dangla. . https://ho-lo.jp/products/hardware/dangla/ *This app uses a camera. Please be careful not to cover the camera with your fingers while using it, as unexpected behavior may occur. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 【Method of operation】 Select and operate menus by moving the orientation of your smartphone and keeping the cursor in the center of the screen aligned with the menu item. You can also select menu items by pressing the right button on Dangla, or near the ▲ button at the bottom right on a smartphone. You can also display the menu in front of you by pressing the left button on Dangla, or near the ▲ button at the bottom left on a single smartphone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Holo at none against HoloKit's shown. Holo also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
