There's a lot of certainty here about the capabilities of a just-announced device that was only seen under strict NDAs before today. Can you give more information?
- forrestthewoods 11y ago"HoloLens' final version will keep limited field of view, says Microsoft" http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/18/8809811/hololens-field-of-view http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/18/8809811/hololens-field-of-v... The limitations of their approach are clear and well understood.
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoYou don't need to be "read in" to know that they are using a version of the waveguide-based display [1] though it helps to be an AR developer ;). The hard limit on these is the shape and resolution of the SBG display system which maxes out around 40 degrees. ODG uses a similar system and has the same FOV. You need a wholesale new way of doing displays to get to a wider FOV.

- lhl 11y agoI don't believe the device demo experiences themselves were under NDA, however recording devices had been restricted. Oliver Kreylos did a great writeup a while back on measuring the FOV: http://doc-ok.org/?p=1274 http://doc-ok.org/?p=1274
