But it does not work with a cellular connection yet. You will need Wi-Fi.

Westeros can be enjoyed in augmented reality … if you live near Boston, Chicago or San Francisco. 

AT & T announced on Wednesday that a few of its stores in the US they will be selling a special team of the  Magic Leap One Creator Edition AR starting April 1 that includes a special augmented reality experience related to Game of Thrones . And no, it is not a joke.

Originally, AT & T was supposed to be a retail partner of Magic Leap at the launch last fall, but that never happened. Now, this store release of $ 2,295 AR glasses will be quite limited: it will arrive on April 1 to Boston to a single store (Boylston), on April 3 to Chicago (on Michigan Avenue) and on April 6 to San Francisco (to 1 Powell).

The hardware will be exactly the same as what was previously available. The stand-alone AR hardware runs on an Nvidia Tegra X2 processor and creates 3D effects coupled to reality through its attached glasses. But he still does not have a cell phone on board. Instead, it requires a Wi-Fi connection.
