As someone who owns both of these devices you are incorrect. They are fundamentally VR goggles with cameras in the goggles allowing them to be self tracking. Microsoft's MR branding is confusing but it is a mistake to think of these goggles as AR.
- tigershark 9y agoI guess that you are not using them correctly then: "Where mixed reality wants to make a point of differentiation is in offering a system of front-mounted cameras that can give you either real world objects in your virtual world, or virtual objects in the real world." http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/141215-windows-mixed-reality-what-is-it-what-headsets-are-available-and-when-can-you-get-it http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/141215-windows-mixed-reality...
- yodon 9y agoThere is at present no way to get imagery or spatial data about the room from the low cost MR headsets. The HoloLens can do it but not the low cost headsets. The video in the article you linked does support these points, as all it discusses making available about the room in VR is a "subtle boundary grid" which is not room scan or visual photo of the room, it's the boundary region traced out manually by moving the headset when initially turning on the headset in a new physical room. I do understand that's a surprising answer and not the answer you want or think should be correct, but these are best thought of as VR headsets with MR branding.
