those little lipos look like maybe 850mah 1s lipos, so 3.7volts, and there looks to be about 6 of them, so the capacity isn't bad.. but thats alot of stuff to power onboard. I'd give it a runtime of 2-3 hours per charge.
This is not a teardown. More "An Inside Look". A teardown is about evaluating the design approach and engineering tradeoffs (go watch EEVBlog or AvE). Couldn't even get a good look at the components with all the camera movement and shallow DoF. Did Microsoft marketing have a hand in this?
Are they really called "holographic lenses" and "holographic images"? Because holograms make 3D images on a 2D surface, so you don't need a hologram if you have a separate image for each eye.
+Minecraft X , the lenses is really a "holographic" lenses. You can Google the term. Its a new type of lenses, and Microsoft is an early adopter. The essence of it is; how do you get a flat lenses? Use a hologram strip, created with lasers.
xponen Oh. Do you mean that it is created using a laser process with that name to get flat lenses? Because I'm pretty sure (I might be wrong) that the technology actually used to create the holograms on top of the real world is AR.
I think it's overpriced and won't take off outside of specialized research and business, but that's a shit ton of smart tech in a tiny amount of space.
Wow I'm quite excited to view this video. Ow as always in disbelief as to how the whole concept works and it did not hit my mind that the shipping of developer units would give us a chance to view the innards of the 'future'.
+NA not for me. I can see the difference between 30 and 60fps. Although, honestly, I never got the people who aimed for 120fps gaming. I can rarely see even a small difference between 60fps and 90 or 120 or whatever.
NA You're kidding, right? You're clearly not involved in video production. Film a scene at 30fps where you friend drives past, and then film it at 60fps. Then please do come back and tell me how you still don't see the difference.
Except it is. Look up the definition of holograms. Also, you clearly haven't tried it XD. You are making the argument everyone who doesn't understand it makes. Don't knock it till you try it. It really is quite amazing.
+Fals3Agent "Huge PC Towers" typically have a lot more power then this device does. Hololens probably has the same specs of a mid-range laptop. Except... you know, Holographic.
Rav Ben that's what the HPU is for. No mid-range has that. I was just comparing the rest of the specs. There's a reason this thing is $3000 and not $800.
+Fals3Agent I was absolutely blown away with how they could fit an CPU, GPU, and the new HPU on that motherboard. That is revolutionary. To think the thing that processes terabytes of data a second is the size of an xbox one controller in width. Microsoft truly has created the future.
0:38 "Essentially what these do is they pass the holographic images through these lense and directly into your eyes. UH that implies they project something into your eyeball which I'm certain isn't the case
+Ollie Gilbey I mean yeah I guess but my feeling when I heard that was like a cinema projector shining light into your eye; that's wrong, it's actually a small transparent screen that places things in your field of view
+Philip Warda No you are wrong. It is actually shinning things into your eyes. There is nothing on the screen it self. It use a similar as magic leap. It is not like meta 2 or oculus rift.
I know the difference between AR and vr. What I meant to say was vr is the next step before AR comes. Because Google Glass which is a AR thing didn't quite make an impact. It was to early
