I don't like "first experience with Tech X" sort of videos because with AR and VR there is just so much going on that is new and novel to the user that there is no chance to stop and actually evaluate the technology on its merits. I want a great AR system, but no such device exists. I've had a Hololens for about 3 months now, on loan from a client that asked me to build an app for them. If Hololens is at all any indication of the current state of the art (and Magic Leap is officially on its sixth year of childishly teasing "we got a secret and we ain't telling"), then this tech is easily 5 years away from being consumer ready. This is not even to the usability level of the Oculus DK1 yet. There are zero usable apps because there is zero way to usably interact with apps. The Hololens is an incredible feat of engineering. But I'll stick to VR for now. It's usable now and there are customers now.
