Cost to develop first iteration of AR-based game

[David]

I am talking to a startup looking for financing to develop augemented-reality based game. For closest analogue think something like Pokemon Go. Anyways, I am being told that to develop first demo version (to see how popular the uptake will be among core users) will take approx USD 80k. I am not familiar how expensive AR development is vs other tech but USD 80k sounds a bit expensive for a demo version. Can anyone knowledgeable on this space comment on the above or point me to info sources where I can obtain relevant data points? I will be very grateful for any help. – by hq overview JB_12_12 – –
