Its super exciting , the progress that's been made is mindblowing , varjo vr now has life like resolution and theres headsets aiming to have 200 plus degree fov. The technology in the lab now exists to create a vr headset that's indistinguishable from real life , and the big the companies are working quickly to commercialise it . I think that we will exceed the oculus predicitions for 2021 of 140 degrees and 4k. The way things are going we may have 220 degrees and human resolution headset within 6 years. In terms of the compute youd need about 200 tflops for life like graphics considering intels roadmap to put a petaflop on a desktop within the next 5 years, it seems like it will be possible in half a decade.
It reminds me when I saw the Project Natal (Kinect) for the first time. My mind got blowed everytime i thought about when should i put my hands on it :D
I could see this being incredibly helpful for teaching medical students practicing surgery. It could potentially provide near-immediate feedback on what they are doing, show them areas they may not have been focusing on enough, and more!
Especially since teachers and trainers can use it to see exactly what the student is trying to look at and do. It's pretty dang cool. For me the medical imaging uses immediately pop to mind. Being able to take a scan of a patient, then overlaying that on the surgical table to guide precise action. Combine it with smart technology and you can track the progress of a camera sensor or have the CT scan of the liver abscess exactly indicated on the body.
I am a Ph.D. in computational chemistry. I see so many possibilities in building molecules, crystals etc. and understanding the reaction mechanism. There are tonnes of possibilities.
Do you wonder in virtual reality might be a better place to do it. The HoloLens is very expensive because maps and identifies things in the real world. Virtual reality is far cheaper and more immersive. I'm excited about the HoloLens, but it might not be perfect for everything.
As others have suggested, a mix of VR and gesture tracking (Leap or Kinect2, etc) may be better - as well as being a much cheaper solution, multiple people can view the same model without being in the same room etc (you just set up a 'shared' virtual room. There are already apps for existing headsets that support 4 people in a single room, and working on a projected windows desktop, etc.
Microsoft is best tech company right now when apple is falling for no innovation and Amazon criticized for employees and Facebook and Google for privacy Microsoft is at the right place at right time
Still too expensive, bulky and lacking consumer applications, but the military funding should speed up development and make a consumer product possible sooner.

I can see in another 10 years that we'll have big empty rooms with cameras and HoloLens on your head just living your dream life in that big empty room. Sound scary really.
I don't think so, but that's my opinion. What you're describing would be a place for Virtual reality...where reality is covered up, and something else is presented. Virtual reality is way cheaper than augmented reality for empty room situations. Augmented reality (which is what the HoloLens is great at) is meant to add to a reality you're in. It can display data to you about objects that exist in your view. This is far more expensive and complicated than virtual reality. If you want to show someone a 3D heart that they can take apart and see all the different parts, virtual reality is way cheaper and easier because your environment isn't required to see the heart. If you want to see the result of a scan overlayed on the patient before or during surgery, since you want to still see the patient, you want augmented reality. Because virtual reality is cheaper, easier, and more immersive, I'd always recommend using virtual reality, and only move to augmented reality when you need the environment present. Another example: A home design would be best in Virtual reality Interior design or home remodel could gain a lot from augmented reality
Juston Cheney Thank you for clarifying that. Yes, I know that augmented reality will be useful for carpenters, plumbers, auto mechanics, auto body, and the medical field. It will be neat if the technology is incorporated into workplaces.
Every new technology is greatly overestimated, and then greatly underestimated. VR and AR are far from dead! They are just expanding into their use cases. This is a great example of what's happening in the background, which many people still consider to be failed tech. Thanks, Dieter! If you're interested in what's happening in VR there are so many creative and crazy developers on Twitter you can find! All are worth a follow.
The biggest issue is cost, and introducing the tech to consumers. It's hard for people to really know what VR/AR is about without putting the headset on.
I'm a UX designer and make use of multiple screens when working. Definitely a tool that would save a lot of space on the work-desk, allow commuter work on trains and planes and just be a more user friendly device than a screen.

@@GunnarWilkerson Well, you can't even speak to a Magic Leap. And also, the movements and recognition of things such as your hands are much faster and more smooth that the Magic Leap. Thirdly, the Hololens is way more powerful and has a lot more features since it's a real computer, which Magic Leap isn't. For example, you can't go browsing on a Magic Leap
@@GunnarWilkerson What are you talking about.. You're completely underselling the HoloLens 2. Did you watch the actual presentation? The FOV difference is probably closer to 20 degrees. It has far better resolution (as in usable pixel density). It has the retinal scanning and eye tracking. It has physical interaction and manipulation. It has the integration of the cloud and enterprise. And, from this video, it seems like IQ and tracking are still best in class. If anything, Magic Leap was slightly better than HoloLens 1 and was released 2 years out. I don't mind if you prefer using the Magic Leap, but downplaying the advancements of this tech is crazy.
Yes, in traditional engineering applications - such as machines or a section of a plant. Perhaps a holo lens can ship with our manufactured products. The Hololens can then be used for two out of a number of other things: 1. To quickly understand the internal composition of the machine (typically what engineering drawings are supposed to be used for) 2. To identify faults - comparing the original machine status to the current. (Something like a scanner if the Holo Lens can be equipped with such). In both applications the Holo Lens will greatly speed up operational and maintenance activities and can avoid unnecessary overhauls. A third application can be for training which is also already being accomplished in virtual reality applications.
As a matter of fact, I do not. And I do not like apple either. But your comment... I've seen it 10000 times. It was just a piece of advice. P.S. samsung>apple
Very nice introduction. I am a faculty from radiation oncology, Johns Hopkins Hospital. We are planning to use this technology to help our patient to get comfortable for the radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
I’m a project planner and I can definitely see a use for this: various components tagged with stats, delivery requirements, timelines, etc. and being able to show relationships between them in 3D, assemble a project schedule, risks, and so on.
I would love to test this out in a mining environment. It would be very interesting to see if you could help workers quickly visualize large scale projects with a tool like this, i.e. where to dump material, how to construct dumps, where to start digging, what a road should look like when completed, etc.
The Hololens is most likely still superior for commercial applications, as with the Vision Pro, you are looking at a screen displaying a camera feed. Meanwhile the Hololens is completely clear/seethrough that actually shows the real world without any cameras And although I bet the cameras on the Vision Pro are really good, no camera can compare to actually seeing the real world authentically
One of the first AR cases I saw was at Boeing for the people who did the cable sets - that was like 20 years ago. AR is awesome for industry - Teamviewer uses it for Network management. So the IT guy who has to re-configure a patch pannel will have the AR show him which cables to work on.
As soon as someone makes software that EVERYONE wants, then yeah, $200 is doable. If they are greedy, they will stay in the $1000 range, but that just opens the door to your competitors. When you have stuff people want, your competitors see this too, and if you are expensive, they have an in. Just make it cheap and you control the market. But you need the software that people want FIRST!
Seeing products from an internet shop in real size and form through HoloLens would really help. Sometimes it's hard to say what you're buying but if you could "touch" it and see all the details, and possibly, disassemble and see the components to make sure you want the product... this would be revolutionary!
As a mechanic this would be awesome, if you where to see a hologram of something of how it’s suppose to be put together on the car itself, it would make putting stuff back together sooooo much easier.
I think that Microsoft is in the right path here: e.g. construction workers would benefit a lot from the fact that you have the calculator, linear, drawings and instructions all there in the screen. No more weird places for the toilet seat because the Plummer can see directly without measuring where the toilet seat should be installed.
This would be awesome for auto diagnosis and repair, having hands free access to info would save valuable time. Also, depending on how accurate the spacial awareness, it would awesome to see heads up data by just looking at the vehicle.
I know you tried to show the FOV difference in the video, but can this also be translated to estimates in degrees? Also, how does it compare to magic leap in terms of tracking and visual fidelity?
@@TheFabioScope I am not lucky enough to get my hands on it for now ^^ But as it is a professionnal product you can imagine that they don't used the specs as some sort of publicity, if it's 2k per eye that probably means everything will be in focus without sweet spot because if not why do you need 2k resolution...
John theux yeah, true. They didn’t announce any fov specs for hololens 1 back then, either. Also, I’m wondering if they use the cam on the inside for some sort of eye tracking or even foveated rendering. Having tried HL1 and ML1, I’m really looking forward to getting hands on this!
I really like this concept and i think this has the biggest potential for future consumer product. Imagine a smartglass that is just as small as regular glass, connect to your phone via bluetooth. The front layer of glass are transparent OLED and neutral density filter that is adjustable for AR/VR mode. Meanwhile the back layer is just regular lens that fits to your eye condition. Putting an eye tracking sensor to navigate (inside the glass) and motion sensor + camera in the outside to sense hand movement. The sound will be transmitted via vibration from the hinge.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if this split like the Surface line did. The first iterations were all Surface Pro, then we got Surface Book, Surface Studio, and Surface Laptop. This is currently very niche, and they have a great opportunity to make some money and grow the product a lot for an audience with very clear needs that have money to spend and a LOT of people to serve. I think in an iteration or two, the price will come down and it won't be nearly as niche and there will be multiple options. The enterprise market really trusts Microsoft and has a lot of money to spend, so they are a easier first audience.
I think for consumers it doesn't solve any problems but for 1st line workers it's solving a real problem (access to a computer without hindering the job at hand)
In addition to the $3500 will companies need to design custom software for their use case? I can't imagine Microsoft is rolling out medical, architecture and design software along with it
Yep, watch the MWC presentation. They've partnered with a bunch of devs to make it easy to use the HoloLens 2 for that specific use case with a minimum of building your own application. They absolutely are rolling out medical, architecture, and design software - it's just that it's all 3rd party built. Which is the point.
Human Anatomy Atlas have already developed an app that can work with AR in order to teach anatomy , and for a matter of fact a lot of ppl in my anatomy classes use it and it's amazing
I think one great use case would be for furnishing companies to showcase their products right in people's homes and people could try different combinations of furniture in their own living spaces.
Some of the best use cases are likely going to be where the business buys the headset rather than the consumer. A company that handles remodels could use this to help you see what they're thinking. High end interior designers. Cabnet makers. I think for the most part, it will be people doing, more than people showing that will be using this product.
If this thing could run a really time excel spread that you can just have a number pad appear to push with your hands. It will be incredibly useful for inputting data from the field or worksite.
I work at lot of electronics prototyping and I have to put laptop next to SMD/Sodering Station. and constant flip my head here and there. MR producrts like this can be a game changer and saves lot of time.
I mean, one of its big selling points was that you could play Minecraft on it, and that was like 2-3 years ago, now they’re moving away from that, little disappointing but I guess they’re still working out the kinks ._.
I wouldn't call that a selling point... No one they were actually selling HoloLens to was planning to actually play Minecraft on their $3000-$5000 face computer. But it was a useful way of hyping up the imagination and teasing the possibilities of the tech, as Dieter mentioned. Smart.
This is why consumers are just useless, get a $3000 computer and you want to play games (I think Microsoft is right not to market to the silly imaginations of consumers)
@@noaht7383 All right calm down, no need to get on some high horse over a comment. I'd think a big head like you would have better thinks to do then find something to be mad about (-_-)
@@noaht7383 the silly imagination of consumers? Like 70% of the stuff you own was made by someone who was at some point a consumer who just wanted a better product. Have you ever heard how since 3d printer are so cheap now consumer make there own models for people with missing limbs. It a cheap affordable alternative to people who may not have the money for a professional prosthetic. It was also thought of by the consumer.
this would make designing cars and homes and really any object an amazing experience. I can see CAD software being developed just for MR along with the hand movements... also using it to scan 3d objects, create a mesh and modify from there... I look forward to having a go at it.
I'm a music producer and I imagine having a daw with mixed reality where you're like sticking blocks together and turning knobs and stuff, will be epic
@Zack Smith evidence? How do you define "fail"? Is it a fail that hololens was in space? Were you in space? Is it a fail that nearly every company that tryed it, signed a contract with Microsoft , and improved the device over the past years with them providing feedback and bringing hololens 2 to life? This is everything but a fail.
@Zack Smith same was said about device through which you have written this comment in its early stage. Hololens 1 was more of a concept. Disruptive product need time, lots of improvement during their life cycle. Just look at first mobile and current mobile phones. over time hardware will improve, better battery, larger FOV, sophisticated sensors will make Hololoens a consumer device.
I see the potential for this to change the way sales people, in the field, present their product. I can see having my whole catalog available to me to demonstrate at their facility. Who needs a showroom when you have it on your hard drive. Very cool. Wish I knew how to code, I could make a lot of money with this product!
This would be amazing for jobs such as aircraft mechanic's. Aircraft electricians usually are constantly referencing wire diagrams while troubleshooting problems, this would enable them to have the diagrams integrated with what they are looking at. Amazing potential!
I'm a chef and i could defiantly use this for my line of work. being able to have virtual stuff going on around the kitchen without having to actually touch it would be insane and really hygienic.
Imagine school lessons where the students can travel back in time to historical events, while in the comfort of their classrooms (they would learn so much instead of books)
Dude!! This would be of immense help in shipping industry!! I'm a marine engineer and having something like this onboard to help us in overhauling and maintenance jobs would be a blessing!!
Most of the things that are being shown off seem like they could be pulled off by VR as well, so the only real applications I can see of this would be as a HUD for doctors, and for training for soldiers (which as far as I'm aware is the main way it's normally used for). When the tech gets cheaper, maybe soldiers could find use for it in the field. Engineering stuff seems like it would be just as easily pulled off by some autocad like application in VR, which is way cheaper right now with WMR headsets going for $200
Nice idea! I definitely can use this device in my job. I work with festival decoration. It can be an amazing tool for live paint performances, connected with sketchAR app. I usually use light projector to sketch the painting in the right position, but the hololens make possible to the artist to see what it's going to be painted in real time, and improve the quality of the final work! I can't wait to test it. Thanks for the video! 😀
I can see how this would be really helpful for someone that does a lot of 3D modeling. Like how you can use your hands to move what your modeling around
It was NEVER even played out as a device for the average consumer. We did those consumer applications for fun, just because! I'm loving this new version and I wish them all the best with this device. Considering the feedback we received with v1 I'm sure this will be a hit.
imagine a real life battle royale with this, with a rendered ring, health hud, and weapons that fired not actual projectiles but rendered in bolts of energy. Combine it with haptic feedback and you got urself an enterprise.
The question is what framework of ux, libraries of real object and 3d space in general we will create as a community. Every garage shop, tattoo artist, coffee maker, seller, teller, or in fact any organization that can have or has digital twin could benefit from this enormously! Now we need to focus on creating creators content and let the market decide; however I am in!
what I am most excited about the HoloLens2 is the ability to be able to share it with others and virtually create an atmosphere unlike any other within the park my business is currently developing.
Nadella clearly one of the smartest/wisest tech CEOs out there. Microsoft gaining much valuable experience actually having real people using HoloLens in the field, while not creeping out individual consumers like Google Glass did. Plenty of use cases.
Do you think you could use the HoloLens 2 in your job?
Yes I could watch a lot of movies 😀

@@GunnarWilkerson What are you talking about.. You're completely underselling the HoloLens 2. Did you watch the actual presentation? The FOV difference is probably closer to 20 degrees. It has far better resolution (as in usable pixel density). It has the retinal scanning and eye tracking. It has physical interaction and manipulation. It has the integration of the cloud and enterprise. And, from this video, it seems like IQ and tracking are still best in class.
If anything, Magic Leap was slightly better than HoloLens 1 and was released 2 years out. I don't mind if you prefer using the Magic Leap, but downplaying the advancements of this tech is crazy.
FOV is around 70°
@@Maxzor11 It's 52°. Try again.
@ye Lu, i stand corrected
Yes, in traditional engineering applications - such as machines or a section of a plant. Perhaps a holo lens can ship with our manufactured products. The Hololens can then be used for two out of a number of other things: 1. To quickly understand the internal composition of the machine (typically what engineering drawings are supposed to be used for) 2. To identify faults - comparing the original machine status to the current. (Something like a scanner if the Holo Lens can be equipped with such). In both applications the Holo Lens will greatly speed up operational and maintenance activities and can avoid unnecessary overhauls. A third application can be for training which is also already being accomplished in virtual reality applications.

Very nice introduction. I am a faculty from radiation oncology, Johns Hopkins Hospital. We are planning to use this technology to help our patient to get comfortable for the radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
Hololens 2
2019 : 3,500$
2038 : 35$
350 maybe
It's possible.
The laptops used to cost 2k dollars 3 decades ago 🤔
I’m a project planner and I can definitely see a use for this: various components tagged with stats, delivery requirements, timelines, etc. and being able to show relationships between them in 3D, assemble a project schedule, risks, and so on.
as an electrician i can think of a vast amount of things this could be used to do, to speed up my day to day tasks
I would love to test this out in a mining environment. It would be very interesting to see if you could help workers quickly visualize large scale projects with a tool like this, i.e. where to dump material, how to construct dumps, where to start digging, what a road should look like when completed, etc.
Wow, I thought the devices were comparable but the Vision Pro blows this out of the water.
The Hololens is most likely still superior for commercial applications, as with the Vision Pro, you are looking at a screen displaying a camera feed. Meanwhile the Hololens is completely clear/seethrough that actually shows the real world without any cameras
And although I bet the cameras on the Vision Pro are really good, no camera can compare to actually seeing the real world authentically
One of the first AR cases I saw was at Boeing for the people who did the cable sets - that was like 20 years ago. AR is awesome for industry - Teamviewer uses it for Network management. So the IT guy who has to re-configure a patch pannel will have the AR show him which cables to work on.
still waiting for the first version to drop to $200
Lmao 200?!?!? Good luck
Xiaomi join the chat
1000$ would be already a very good price. I was expecting Hololens2 at that price.
One word : CHINA .... God knows if it wasn't for China , Western tech companies would never sell cheap tech .
As soon as someone makes software that EVERYONE wants, then yeah, $200 is doable. If they are greedy, they will stay in the $1000 range, but that just opens the door to your competitors. When you have stuff people want, your competitors see this too, and if you are expensive, they have an in. Just make it cheap and you control the market. But you need the software that people want FIRST!
Seeing products from an internet shop in real size and form through HoloLens would really help. Sometimes it's hard to say what you're buying but if you could "touch" it and see all the details, and possibly, disassemble and see the components to make sure you want the product... this would be revolutionary!
From the window to the wall!! 2:51.
ahhh skeet skeet skeet
As a mechanic this would be awesome, if you where to see a hologram of something of how it’s suppose to be put together on the car itself, it would make putting stuff back together sooooo much easier.

I think that Microsoft is in the right path here: e.g. construction workers would benefit a lot from the fact that you have the calculator, linear, drawings and instructions all there in the screen. No more weird places for the toilet seat because the Plummer can see directly without measuring where the toilet seat should be installed.
But can you play crysis with it?
This would be awesome for auto diagnosis and repair, having hands free access to info would save valuable time. Also, depending on how accurate the spacial awareness, it would awesome to see heads up data by just looking at the vehicle.
They said the first one was centimeter accuracy and this one is millimeter accuracy.
*but can you use the hololens to watch videos exposing your how-to-build-a-computer tutorial?*
They're talking about controlling each photon. Are they controlling the focal length of each voxel for full focal accommodation?
I know you tried to show the FOV difference in the video, but can this also be translated to estimates in degrees? Also, how does it compare to magic leap in terms of tracking and visual fidelity?
2k per eye of resolution.
John theux I meant more from a subjective perception :)
@@TheFabioScope I am not lucky enough to get my hands on it for now ^^ But as it is a professionnal product you can imagine that they don't used the specs as some sort of publicity, if it's 2k per eye that probably means everything will be in focus without sweet spot because if not why do you need 2k resolution...
John theux yeah, true. They didn’t announce any fov specs for hololens 1 back then, either. Also, I’m wondering if they use the cam on the inside for some sort of eye tracking or even foveated rendering. Having tried HL1 and ML1, I’m really looking forward to getting hands on this!
Apparently around 70 degrees fov (so basically around 2x more than HL1)
I really like this concept and i think this has the biggest potential for future consumer product.
Imagine a smartglass that is just as small as regular glass, connect to your phone via bluetooth. The front layer of glass are transparent OLED and neutral density filter that is adjustable for AR/VR mode. Meanwhile the back layer is just regular lens that fits to your eye condition. Putting an eye tracking sensor to navigate (inside the glass) and motion sensor + camera in the outside to sense hand movement. The sound will be transmitted via vibration from the hinge.
Here to bring up the hololens exists after the Apple vision pro announcement
How compact it is is actually stunning.
20 years time there will be people walking around the streets with things like these. All connected, no more need for cell phones.
Danny Snezza even laptops and consoles can be abolished with this but it needs a powerful internet so the streaming works.
I think it can be used in engineering and medical schools to separate out components and see functioning or design parts etc
Yeah the good point of 3d is that you can see objects inside other objects because in 2d it doen't make sense.
What happened to Google glass lol
Dead
The way he said it made it seem that future iterations will eventually be for consumers but only when it's good enough.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it wouldn't surprise me if this split like the Surface line did. The first iterations were all Surface Pro, then we got Surface Book, Surface Studio, and Surface Laptop. This is currently very niche, and they have a great opportunity to make some money and grow the product a lot for an audience with very clear needs that have money to spend and a LOT of people to serve. I think in an iteration or two, the price will come down and it won't be nearly as niche and there will be multiple options. The enterprise market really trusts Microsoft and has a lot of money to spend, so they are a easier first audience.
I think for consumers it doesn't solve any problems but for 1st line workers it's solving a real problem (access to a computer without hindering the job at hand)
In addition to the $3500 will companies need to design custom software for their use case? I can't imagine Microsoft is rolling out medical, architecture and design software along with it
why not? you just do it once, then you can sell software to many companies.
@@ldf-oros-kesa because each use case is very specific, I don't think it's a one-size-fits-all situation
watch the MWC presentation, it's all explained there. pretty mind-blowing too. there's even a hard-hat hololens 😂
Yep, watch the MWC presentation. They've partnered with a bunch of devs to make it easy to use the HoloLens 2 for that specific use case with a minimum of building your own application. They absolutely are rolling out medical, architecture, and design software - it's just that it's all 3rd party built. Which is the point.
Human Anatomy Atlas have already developed an app that can work with AR in order to teach anatomy , and for a matter of fact a lot of ppl in my anatomy classes use it and it's amazing
As a soon to-be product designer, this would be really useful for viewing your digital prototypes on a true 1:1 scale
How will the military use this ?
Why does it matter?
Already in use, Microsoft just signed a 500 million Hololens deal with the US Army for training & simulation.
to kill people
Real time gps/topo mapping. Target placement. Simulations. The possibilities are endless, really.
Cockpit helmets have similar holographic tech for targeting/ flying.
I think one great use case would be for furnishing companies to showcase their products right in people's homes and people could try different combinations of furniture in their own living spaces.
Some of the best use cases are likely going to be where the business buys the headset rather than the consumer. A company that handles remodels could use this to help you see what they're thinking. High end interior designers. Cabnet makers.
I think for the most part, it will be people doing, more than people showing that will be using this product.
you can do that with VR already just fine
(low intense bass music)
yoooo
If this thing could run a really time excel spread that you can just have a number pad appear to push with your hands. It will be incredibly useful for inputting data from the field or worksite.

AUGMAAAAAA
yadpreet singh Your thinking vr this is AR, SAO is VR headsets but I get what you mean this is still awesome
Ordinal Scale is a great concept
I am an architect and i see the whole world opening with this kind of technology, particularly a new way for clients to visualise their projects
I mean, one of its big selling points was that you could play Minecraft on it, and that was like 2-3 years ago, now they’re moving away from that, little disappointing but I guess they’re still working out the kinks ._.
I wouldn't call that a selling point... No one they were actually selling HoloLens to was planning to actually play Minecraft on their $3000-$5000 face computer. But it was a useful way of hyping up the imagination and teasing the possibilities of the tech, as Dieter mentioned. Smart.
i mean, a $150 Windows MR headset lets you play Minecraft in VR
This is why consumers are just useless, get a $3000 computer and you want to play games (I think Microsoft is right not to market to the silly imaginations of consumers)
@@noaht7383 All right calm down, no need to get on some high horse over a comment. I'd think a big head like you would have better thinks to do then find something to be mad about (-_-)
@@noaht7383 the silly imagination of consumers? Like 70% of the stuff you own was made by someone who was at some point a consumer who just wanted a better product. Have you ever heard how since 3d printer are so cheap now consumer make there own models for people with missing limbs. It a cheap affordable alternative to people who may not have the money for a professional prosthetic. It was also thought of by the consumer.
this would make designing cars and homes and really any object an amazing experience. I can see CAD software being developed just for MR along with the hand movements... also using it to scan 3d objects, create a mesh and modify from there... I look forward to having a go at it.
Yeah, forgot to mention Microsoft got contract with the military
How could they not? Microsoft is really good at what they do.
I'm a music producer and I imagine having a daw with mixed reality where you're like sticking blocks together and turning knobs and stuff, will be epic
Microsoft is at forefront to replace mobile.
They're going to need to shrink it down quite a lot.
@Zack Smith evidence? How do you define "fail"? Is it a fail that hololens was in space? Were you in space? Is it a fail that nearly every company that tryed it, signed a contract with Microsoft , and improved the device over the past years with them providing feedback and bringing hololens 2 to life? This is everything but a fail.
@@Owlero Agree! Not just shrink but whole device need overhaul, from User Interface to Hardware. Big task will be to make UI more easy and friendly
@Zack Smith same was said about device through which you have written this comment in its early stage. Hololens 1 was more of a concept. Disruptive product need time, lots of improvement during their life cycle.
Just look at first mobile and current mobile phones.
over time hardware will improve, better battery, larger FOV, sophisticated sensors will make Hololoens a consumer device.
I see the potential for this to change the way sales people, in the field, present their product. I can see having my whole catalog available to me to demonstrate at their facility. Who needs a showroom when you have it on your hard drive. Very cool. Wish I knew how to code, I could make a lot of money with this product!

Dude!! This would be of immense help in shipping industry!! I'm a marine engineer and having something like this onboard to help us in overhauling and maintenance jobs would be a blessing!!
This is Minority Report becoming reality
What do you reckon? 5-10 years before we get home consumer versions of the tech?
Most of the things that are being shown off seem like they could be pulled off by VR as well, so the only real applications I can see of this would be as a HUD for doctors, and for training for soldiers (which as far as I'm aware is the main way it's normally used for). When the tech gets cheaper, maybe soldiers could find use for it in the field.
Engineering stuff seems like it would be just as easily pulled off by some autocad like application in VR, which is way cheaper right now with WMR headsets going for $200
Nice idea! I definitely can use this device in my job. I work with festival decoration. It can be an amazing tool for live paint performances, connected with sketchAR app. I usually use light projector to sketch the painting in the right position, but the hololens make possible to the artist to see what it's going to be painted in real time, and improve the quality of the final work! I can't wait to test it. Thanks for the video! 😀
I can see how this would be really helpful for someone that does a lot of 3D modeling. Like how you can use your hands to move what your modeling around
This is very impressionant! I'm gonna talk about it in one of my school project here in Brazil!
It was NEVER even played out as a device for the average consumer. We did those consumer applications for fun, just because!
I'm loving this new version and I wish them all the best with this device. Considering the feedback we received with v1 I'm sure this will be a hit.
imagine a real life battle royale with this, with a rendered ring, health hud, and weapons that fired not actual projectiles but rendered in bolts of energy. Combine it with haptic feedback and you got urself an enterprise.
When was the 1st one even released?? It eas announced at E3 like 4 years ago...😪
The question is what framework of ux, libraries of real object and 3d space in general we will create as a community. Every garage shop, tattoo artist, coffee maker, seller, teller, or in fact any organization that can have or has digital twin could benefit from this enormously!
Now we need to focus on creating creators content and let the market decide; however I am in!
I want 4k 120fps for each eye or 8k 60fps for each eye and 180 degrees to 360 degrees of field of view (FOV).
It would be great if I could use this tech after med school and residency training 💪
what I am most excited about the HoloLens2 is the ability to be able to share it with others and virtually create an atmosphere unlike any other within the park my business is currently developing.
😮I always get inspired and hyped with Microsoft innovations they are just too unique. I want to work in Microsoft.☺
Nadella clearly one of the smartest/wisest tech CEOs out there. Microsoft gaining much valuable experience actually having real people using HoloLens in the field, while not creeping out individual consumers like Google Glass did. Plenty of use cases.
This tech is mind blowing! Does it pick up thoughts? like how does it display the object we wanna toggle with?
Just extend those sides a lil bit and then say link start.
I'm an aerospace engineer student and I'd love for this to be used at my school for simulations.
