Don't expect it's for everyone but for anyone (or any workplace) who was contemplating getting a Hololens 2, there's 15% off offer currently till Nov 30th as part of Microsoft Ignite - more info at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality-blog/15…

Only device that Microsoft Mesh currently supports (although Quest 2 support coming, I believe) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd2GK0qDtRg&t=62s&ab_channel…

Did some prototypes on the first Hololens previously and it is a good start in this space but definitely needs to come down in price, size for wider uptake.

        If your eyes are mistaking you it probably is the Microsoft Hololens 2 that's doing it.

      You do know they aren't aimed at consumers? These are used in places such as operating theatres and defence training. Nothing comes close to what these are designed for, but they are definitely not a consumer product. Those that work in industries that require them know them very well. A good deal for them.

      • leftspeaker2000 on 05/11/2021 - 11:13

        I do know that. They are selling them to the US military. Making my Microsoft stocks go to moon.

      Except it's not designed to be an Xbox accessory, far from it.
      Think medical industry and defence training.
      If your thinking of using it for home use, you're looking at the wrong device.

    I have a couple of these and the version 1s through work, prefer the oculus.

    • BoredMartian on 04/11/2021 - 21:00
      +2

      They have (almost) completely different use cases though?

      • Captain Hindsight on 05/11/2021 - 07:28
        -1

        Different, but I wouldn’t say completely, both designed for simulated reality experience and have a lot of similar functionality and application. So far though the Oculus, apart from being 10 times cheaper has been much more stable.

        I’ve had one HL replaced due to a fault and almost all completely crash and require a complete wipe and reinstall. They are definitely an improvement over the HL1, more comfortable, better view and better tracking.

        Having this and the oculus, you can’t help but compare them at some stage and from that perspective I prefer my experience with the oculus.

        • Kill Joy on 05/11/2021 - 08:49
          +2

          … it's pretty different. VR headsets are for simulating entire environments, whereas AR headsets like Hololeans are about augmenting your current environment. For business, this can be an extremely important distinction between training in a vr 'game', and doing the real thing with assistance/guidance with AR.

          • Captain Hindsight on 05/11/2021 - 09:04
            -1

            @Kill Joy: Thanks for the explanation but I actually have both so I appreciate they are different but also have personal experience with how they both work, do you? If the answer is yes I think you’d appreciate my perspective.

            I’m not saying they are identical by any means.

            But as I said “ you can’t help but compare them at some stage and from that perspective I prefer my experience with the oculus”. There are a lot of similarities and simply from a functionality perspective the oculus has been much more reliable.

            • Kill Joy on 05/11/2021 - 10:11

              @Captain Hindsight: Yep, I have a HP WMR headset I use for gaming and have used the hololens v1 5 years ago as part of my profession. I completely disagree with your assertion but am happy to leave it at that.

              • Captain Hindsight on 05/11/2021 - 18:11

                @Kill Joy: Hmm “completely” disagree, that seems a bit extreme.

                One thing we likely both agree on, this conversation with you feels like I’m banging my head against a wall and it will feel good to end it here.

    Given how well they have sold I doubt you will see any realistic price drops in the near future. These aren't meant for home users, they are for business, with defense being the biggest buyers around the world.

        • gromit on 04/11/2021 - 20:07
          +2

          AR tends to require a lot more processing power as it needs to take in the environment around you through multiple cameras and sensors in real time and render images in that environment without noticeable lag.

      I think it might have to do with supply and demand, but im not a rocket surgeon.

      The law of supply and demand is a theory that explains the interaction between the sellers of a resource and the buyers for that resource. The theory defines the relationship between the price of a given good or product and the willingness of people to either buy or sell it. Generally, as price increases, people are willing to supply more and demand less and vice versa when the price falls.
