That was pretty much my experience with HoloLens. Uncomfortable headset, awkward and inaccurate hand gestures, and like a postage-stamp-size viewport. You couldn't see anything functional in the least due to viewport alone, and the low resolution killed any hope you may have had left. Tracking was mostly alright about 95% of the time, in an office setting which is probably borderline ideal (lots of high-contrast edges and corners all over), but even while relatively still it made plenty of mistakes.
All of which I gather the Magic Leap is better on... by less than 50%. In two years.
AR has unbelievably misleading advertising. To enough of a degree that I think they should be fined rather significantly. Remember the HoloLens Minecraft "demo" videos? Or the full 3D models on the user's desk, nearly the size of the screen or keyboard? You couldn't even cover a coffee mug at that distance.
- solarkraft 8y agoI was still somewhat impressed exactly by the HoloLenses very fast (and quite accurate) tracking. I think it was the absolutely right trade-off.
- Groxx 8y agoYeah, most of the time it was very solid, only barely perceptible lag. Fairly impressive when it was working smoothly :) Issues I had were mostly when it failed and started sliding around while I stood still, or jumped a bit and stayed wrong for a couple seconds.
- puranjay 8y agoThe technology hype cycle over the last decade has been pretty disappointing. I was promised by now, I'd be 3D printing my sneakers, spend my time killing zombies in VR, and paying for DLC with crypto Of these, only VR seems even remotely close to reaching its original promise
- iliis 8y agoAbout those sneakers: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:285404 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:285404 ;) But yeah, I agree that there's much too much hype around a lot of stuff...

- kthejoker2 8y agoBaker Hughes GE has an awesome Hololens demo where they offload the processing to a GPU rack and get some insane voxels, resolutions and responsiveness. But yeah the onboard stuff is just soso. But of course you seem to be looking for a polished product,most of these AR solutions are aspirational and designed to help build reference implementations and AR Development capabilities.
