Practically unlimited real estate for controls, grabbing and placing clips quickly with your hands in instead of the mouse/keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The hololens is super cool, we have one at work, but honestly it was a little disappointing the first time I played with it; the "window" of holograms that you get to see projected in front of you is just quite small, I'd say maybe a 10 or 20%-sized box of your vision? I don't know, it's certainly not as cool as the promotional material seems to indicate though. Yes you can plan Minecraft on your kitchen tabletop or whatever, but still, only in that tiny box. It is pretty neat how it literally looks like a hologram floating in front of you though. The resolution isn't amazing yet either, so I'm not sure how great the current headset would be for actual editing, needing high-res, etc. As far as an immersive, futuristic experience, I was much more impressed by the HTC Vive, which is only $800 compared to $3,000 for the Hololens. Either way, it'll be very interesting to see what kind of tech and gadgets comes out of this segment as it matures. Just imagine the shenanigans the next generation of kids is going to get caught doing by their parents! jcs, Dan Wake and Cinegain 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Microsoft should stop work on everything else, and sort out Windows 10 first. It had more bugs than a graveyard. Seriously !!! andrgl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've played a bit with some notation apps in Vive. At the moment resolution is just too low, unfortunately! Soon though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to Tom Cruise and computer interfaces, perhaps a sofa could be converted into a giant track pad that "clicks" when the user jumps up and down on it. jcs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
