Having used Hololens vs several passthrough-AR devices (Quest 2 etc) I'd take "poor image quality" over "limited FOV and the need to use it in a darkened room"

Having used Hololens vs several passthrough-AR devices (Quest 2 etc) I'd take "poor image quality" over "limited FOV and the need to use it in a darkened room" any day. Until AR display tech gets significantly better I think AR based on passthrough cameras is the only sensible approach.
