When I used the Hololens I had the same impression you did. I too was blown away by the incredible accuracy of the tracking. What I don't understand is how Microsoft didn't launch a VR product to compete with Vive and Oculus. Given the strength of the tracking, it felt to me like they were so close to building a VR device that did not require all the cables and tower set-ups that the other two do. Clearly I must be missing something, but I just don't know what it is.
- astannard 10y agoMicrosoft have Windows Holographic coming soon that will launch on 3rd party sets for Dell Lenovo etc. These are VR headsets with inside out tracking but without the AR tech. I guess they will be a good rival to the Vive but details are thin
- Eridrus 10y agoJust spitballing, but if you want to do VR a small field of view is unacceptable, you need the full field of view for it to make sense. To the extent that I'm guessing full field of view is a computing limitation and not a hardware limitation, the cord-free tech may not be ready for VR. Also, screens probably require more power than their light field display, which makes a large field of view doubly hard.
