Future Farm Brings Augmented Reality to Cannabis -- CFN Media

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Oct 5, 2017) - CFN Media Group ("CannabisFN"), the leading creative agency and media network dedicated to legal cannabis, announces publication of an article covering Future Farm Technologies Inc.'s (CSE: FFT) (CNSX: FFT) (FFT.CN) (OTCQB: FFRMF) new licensing agreement with AR E1, LLC to bring augmented reality into the cannabis space.

Alphabet Inc. may have ended its Google Glass Explorer program back in 2015, but the company has been quietly (and wildly) successful in the enterprise market. Augmented reality has proven invaluable in applications where a worker requires information without the use of their hands. For example, an aircraft mechanic can quickly access engine diagrams without having to wash their hands and refer to a manual.

Earlier this year, Facebook Inc. also announced that its Oculus Rift would enter the augmented reality space, which it believes will be a far bigger business than virtual reality. And, Microsoft Corp.'s HoloLens and Magic Leap's secretive AR product are two others looking to enter the space. Consumer-level products could become increasingly popular following the success from Pokemon Go -- the first consumer AR game.

Future Farm Tech recently announced a license agreement with AR E1, LLC that provides the exclusive rights to market its patented technology in the cannabis industry.

"With this AR platform, we have a first mover advantage in the cannabis market," says William Gildea, CEO of Future Farm in a recent press release announcing the licensing agreement. "The AR market is estimated to grow to a $120 billion industry by 2020. This is a major opportunity for Future Farm to be at the forefront of this fast growing technology and merge it with cannabis, another of the fastest growing market sectors in the world."

AR E1's team has successfully created over 300 augmented and virtual reality software solutions for international clients, including government agencies, international banks, insurance companies, universities, and multinationals, as well as many Fortune 500 companies. In addition, the principals of AR E1 have filed numerous patents in technology, interactive advertising, consumer products, and interactive medicine, as well as the development of a portfolio of over 24 intellectual properties for mobile technology.
