HoloLens 2: inside Microsoft's new headset 

Yes I could watch a lot of movies 😀 LOL

yes. #harshitjain

Absolutely Awesome..!

Yes, it could be perfect if they developed some thing with solidworks or autocad :3

Yeah, that's truly an average worker.

Dude, US fighter jet Helmets basically have all the tech of an Iron Man helmet. I'm not even kidding, look it up!

Too bad the world will be in shambles by then.

You are making me feel old.😑

Its super exciting , the progress that's been made is mindblowing , varjo vr now has life like resolution and theres headsets aiming to have 200 plus degree fov. The technology in the lab now exists to create a vr headset that's indistinguishable from real life , and the big the companies are working quickly to commercialise it . I think that we will exceed the oculus predicitions for 2021 of 140 degrees and 4k. The way things are going we may have 220 degrees and human resolution headset within 6 years. In terms of the compute youd need about 200 tflops for life like graphics considering intels roadmap to put a petaflop on a desktop within the next 5 years, it seems like it will be possible in half a decade.

It reminds me when I saw the Project Natal (Kinect) for the first time. My mind got blowed everytime i thought about when should i put my hands on it :D

sprdvx Why you say that? You don’t believe in utopia?

iSight

iVision

iView

iEye

Apple: Behold, the first holographic lens that you'll want.

Also inherently a built in splatter shield.

You don’t say

Especially since teachers and trainers can use it to see exactly what the student is trying to look at and do. It's pretty dang cool. For me the medical imaging uses immediately pop to mind. Being able to take a scan of a patient, then overlaying that on the surgical table to guide precise action. Combine it with smart technology and you can track the progress of a camera sensor or have the CT scan of the liver abscess exactly indicated on the body.

Cyrribrae yes we get it you think ur smart but he already said and showed that

It's used that way in an episode of good doctor

Do you wonder in virtual reality might be a better place to do it. The HoloLens is very expensive because maps and identifies things in the real world. Virtual reality is far cheaper and more immersive. I'm excited about the HoloLens, but it might not be perfect for everything.

vr + leap motion

As others have suggested, a mix of VR and gesture tracking (Leap or Kinect2, etc) may be better - as well as being a much cheaper solution, multiple people can view the same model without being in the same room etc (you just set up a 'shared' virtual room. There are already apps for existing headsets that support 4 people in a single room, and working on a projected windows desktop, etc.

@@justoncheney7172 it depends on if you need to do everything in software or if you actually need to be looking at whatever your working on

It's close, but not there yet. If it were, everyone would know.

Mateo Alanis The problem is, as soon as they do sell it to consumers, they’ll complain that it’s too expensive 🤷‍♂️

I tried the first one... Its really not ready for consumers. It field of view was to small and its battery life is short.

@@Johanneslol11 This one has more than 2 times the FOV of the first one, 500 nits of brightness and 2k resolution per eye!

too expensive, give it 5 to 7 years.

Still too expensive, bulky and lacking consumer applications, but the military funding should speed up development and make a consumer product possible sooner.

Yeah apple changed from an innovative tech company to a luxury company I think.

Yeah but they r failing in the gaming industry especially in the console area

Especially in the mobile phone market right Oh wait

@@Klau92 nope...wait till june...amazing consoles coming up.

Amazon will not be criticized anymore soon enough when they will get rid of all their employes xD

samuel ramos ok

They can profit and still innovate without the MOBILEMOBILEMOBILEMOBILEMOBILE trash trend of other companies

Yep

@Victor Greenwood Not actually. Xbox is fine. But they have failed in making smartphones.

They failed in Xbox back in 2013... Phil Spencer is working on making Xbox better, unfortunately it takes a lot of time as the damage was to big. They founded a new game studio and bought a few more, so games are coming, we only have to wait. It’s Microsoft’s job to maintain Xbox relevant in the meantime.

Lol that's a long shot, 3500 dollars is a lot more money than universities in India are willing to pay just for technology

@@HarshvardhanKanthode kinda right you are

@@shuvojyotirakshit2300 I think that may happen in 10-20 years.

It is going to be like the “Ready Player One” movie or the scene where the guy needs help in the movie “Upgrade”.

I don't think so, but that's my opinion. What you're describing would be a place for Virtual reality...where reality is covered up, and something else is presented. Virtual reality is way cheaper than augmented reality for empty room situations. Augmented reality (which is what the HoloLens is great at) is meant to add to a reality you're in. It can display data to you about objects that exist in your view. This is far more expensive and complicated than virtual reality. If you want to show someone a 3D heart that they can take apart and see all the different parts, virtual reality is way cheaper and easier because your environment isn't required to see the heart. If you want to see the result of a scan overlayed on the patient before or during surgery, since you want to still see the patient, you want augmented reality. Because virtual reality is cheaper, easier, and more immersive, I'd always recommend using virtual reality, and only move to augmented reality when you need the environment present. Another example: A home design would be best in Virtual reality Interior design or home remodel could gain a lot from augmented reality

Juston Cheney Thank you for clarifying that. Yes, I know that augmented reality will be useful for carpenters, plumbers, auto mechanics, auto body, and the medical field. It will be neat if the technology is incorporated into workplaces.

This is now, already. VR headsets are here and cheap.

Could be a Black mirror episode lol

Technology is always changing, what's new ?? Oh wait... lol

again

6 months later... nothing has changed

350 maybe

It's possible. The laptops used to cost 2k dollars 3 decades ago 🤔

@@andieznutz6438 you're watching it douchebeg. Don't act so smart, you come out as a jackass. Also who tf are you?

The biggest issue is cost, and introducing the tech to consumers. It's hard for people to really know what VR/AR is about without putting the headset on.

Please list a few.

Nathan Lewis agree

@@GunnarWilkerson Well, you can't even speak to a Magic Leap. And also, the movements and recognition of things such as your hands are much faster and more smooth that the Magic Leap. Thirdly, the Hololens is way more powerful and has a lot more features since it's a real computer, which Magic Leap isn't. For example, you can't go browsing on a Magic Leap

@@GunnarWilkerson What are you talking about.. You're completely underselling the HoloLens 2. Did you watch the actual presentation? The FOV difference is probably closer to 20 degrees. It has far better resolution (as in usable pixel density). It has the retinal scanning and eye tracking. It has physical interaction and manipulation. It has the integration of the cloud and enterprise. And, from this video, it seems like IQ and tracking are still best in class. If anything, Magic Leap was slightly better than HoloLens 1 and was released 2 years out. I don't mind if you prefer using the Magic Leap, but downplaying the advancements of this tech is crazy.

FOV is around 70°

@@Maxzor11 It's 52°. Try again.

@ye Lu, i stand corrected

Now consumers can buy The Hololens 2 for $ 3,500 on the Official Microsoft website.

2k per eye of resolution.

John theux I meant more from a subjective perception :)

@@TheFabioScope I am not lucky enough to get my hands on it for now ^^ But as it is a professionnal product you can imagine that they don't used the specs as some sort of publicity, if it's 2k per eye that probably means everything will be in focus without sweet spot because if not why do you need 2k resolution...

John theux yeah, true. They didn’t announce any fov specs for hololens 1 back then, either. Also, I’m wondering if they use the cam on the inside for some sort of eye tracking or even foveated rendering. Having tried HL1 and ML1, I’m really looking forward to getting hands on this!

Apparently around 70 degrees fov (so basically around 2x more than HL1)

I have a homeschooled phd.

@@TallDude404 a PhD in what may I ask?

The Hololens is most likely still superior for commercial applications, as with the Vision Pro, you are looking at a screen displaying a camera feed. Meanwhile the Hololens is completely clear/seethrough that actually shows the real world without any cameras And although I bet the cameras on the Vision Pro are really good, no camera can compare to actually seeing the real world authentically

yoooo

They said the first one was centimeter accuracy and this one is millimeter accuracy.

Dead

ahhh skeet skeet skeet

Can't wait for the first AR/MRMMO!

Why does it matter?

Already in use, Microsoft just signed a 500 million Hololens deal with the US Army for training & simulation.

to kill people

Real time gps/topo mapping. Target placement. Simulations. The possibilities are endless, really.

Cockpit helmets have similar holographic tech for targeting/ flying.

Lmao 200?!?!? Good luck

Xiaomi join the chat

1000$ would be already a very good price. I was expecting Hololens2 at that price.

One word : CHINA .... God knows if it wasn't for China , Western tech companies would never sell cheap tech .

As soon as someone makes software that EVERYONE wants, then yeah, $200 is doable. If they are greedy, they will stay in the $1000 range, but that just opens the door to your competitors. When you have stuff people want, your competitors see this too, and if you are expensive, they have an in. Just make it cheap and you control the market. But you need the software that people want FIRST!

Just keep copying cliché comments, maybe one day you will get more than 10 likes.

Danny Snezza even laptops and consoles can be abolished with this but it needs a powerful internet so the streaming works.

@@ldf-oros-kesa because each use case is very specific, I don't think it's a one-size-fits-all situation

watch the MWC presentation, it's all explained there. pretty mind-blowing too. there's even a hard-hat hololens 😂

Yep, watch the MWC presentation. They've partnered with a bunch of devs to make it easy to use the HoloLens 2 for that specific use case with a minimum of building your own application. They absolutely are rolling out medical, architecture, and design software - it's just that it's all 3rd party built. Which is the point.

Human Anatomy Atlas have already developed an app that can work with AR in order to teach anatomy , and for a matter of fact a lot of ppl in my anatomy classes use it and it's amazing

No nervegear yet. Maybe in our lifetimes, but $$$$$

This is more like Accel World

AUGMAAAAAA

yadpreet singh Your thinking vr this is AR, SAO is VR headsets but I get what you mean this is still awesome

Ordinal Scale is a great concept

How could they not? Microsoft is really good at what they do.

They're going to need to shrink it down quite a lot.

@Zack Smith evidence? How do you define "fail"? Is it a fail that hololens was in space? Were you in space? Is it a fail that nearly every company that tryed it, signed a contract with Microsoft , and improved the device over the past years with them providing feedback and bringing hololens 2 to life? This is everything but a fail.

@@Owlero Agree! Not just shrink but whole device need overhaul, from User Interface to Hardware. Big task will be to make UI more easy and friendly

@Zack Smith same was said about device through which you have written this comment in its early stage. Hololens 1 was more of a concept. Disruptive product need time, lots of improvement during their life cycle. Just look at first mobile and current mobile phones. over time hardware will improve, better battery, larger FOV, sophisticated sensors will make Hololoens a consumer device.

No, its Mixed Reality. Have a great day.

Just take all my money and throw me in SAO😂🤣😂

More like Accel World

I want augma or amusphere so much! ;(

TheRealBandito augma would be good for training on gym. Amusphere would be my dream vr machine i’d like to play Gun Gale Online so much

I wouldn't call that a selling point... No one they were actually selling HoloLens to was planning to actually play Minecraft on their $3000-$5000 face computer. But it was a useful way of hyping up the imagination and teasing the possibilities of the tech, as Dieter mentioned. Smart.

i mean, a $150 Windows MR headset lets you play Minecraft in VR

This is why consumers are just useless, get a $3000 computer and you want to play games (I think Microsoft is right not to market to the silly imaginations of consumers)

@@noaht7383 All right calm down, no need to get on some high horse over a comment. I'd think a big head like you would have better thinks to do then find something to be mad about (-_-)

@@noaht7383 the silly imagination of consumers? Like 70% of the stuff you own was made by someone who was at some point a consumer who just wanted a better product. Have you ever heard how since 3d printer are so cheap now consumer make there own models for people with missing limbs. It a cheap affordable alternative to people who may not have the money for a professional prosthetic. It was also thought of by the consumer.

A Corporação B.O.T.G yup

I'm looking forward to playing the world's first AR/MRMMO!

Why you need AR? I think VR is much better to enter a fantasy world

Some of the best use cases are likely going to be where the business buys the headset rather than the consumer. A company that handles remodels could use this to help you see what they're thinking. High end interior designers. Cabnet makers. I think for the most part, it will be people doing, more than people showing that will be using this product.

you can do that with VR already just fine
