Seems like this tech is still many years out in the distance as far as being reliable and high fidelity, but it's very exciting to consider what will be possible with it.
-
I'm often skeptical of new technologies but everyone who has tried hololens seems to like it.
-
The device seems to concentrate on your foveal vision, which is what your brain is going to be concentrating on the most, and is similarly narrow.

7:43 "Obviously there are OTHER uses." As I nervously adjust my collar, realizing that just moments ago that if I opened the wrong folder, all of the computerphiles would have seen my hentai collection
-
I had thought that occlusion problem would be much harder to solve. It needs some refinement but the bulk of that can come from stronger hardware, and improvements in the code.
-
I got to try one of these once. The thing I tried was our solar system. It was pretty mind blowing to throw planets around the room.
-
I wouldnt mind if windows made a more capable version of the Hololens that required you wear a somewhat light backpack for additional computing or if it had an offboard unit you had to have hidden on you somewhere.
-
It was good to see what the visor actually shows, not just the computer version!
-
I've tried it once. It is really a magical thing. Very impressive.
-
The future is awesome.
-
The points about gestures and transparency are interesting - thanks!
-
it may not be wholly practical yet but the fact that this is even a capability of the SDK is amazing.
-
I saw an AR headset some time ago that had menus where you hold one hand up and basically type on that hand with your other hand, instead of swishing around in the air.
-
As a software engineer I can understand the quite large amount of work that went into this. As a consumer I'm really underwhelmed by this product... We have a long way to go
-
Thank u as always for making these interesting contents!
-
I'm gonna place that annoying paperclip from Office all over the place when i get my hands on one of these in 10 years time 😂
-
I am most excited about using this as a tool. I would like to try using it in the office environment as a virtual desktop. Also see potential in the use of engineering, surveying and mapping. Perhaps you could put this on a drone and use it to quickly scan and map out an environment into a 3D model.
-
Love this content, why not make it public?
-
the technology isn't quite there, but its getting there.

This is very cool and I can already see a use for it, but it's mainly only for my own use, which is that sort of gesture thing to move open windows around on an AR-screen instead of using a mouse to do it. It would just be so much more convienient to be able to do that instead of using a mouse every single time, especially if you're in bed and then can just kind of use gestures to navigate around on a screen and other stuff like that.
