Sean, thanks for being so passionate on these videos. Some reviewers seem to talk through their teeth when they talk about Hololens. Yours is a refreshing take.
Do it! It's a genius idea, why should someone else make the money!? Connecting a Hololens to smart homes would be amazing! Though, it'd be catered to a small niche, that niche would have the money to go nuts with it :) :)
to make that work. you would have to have an app that tracks your real life stuff and lets assume it doesnt move. say like room lights, Stereo, electronic faucets, garage, etc. once you lock those things into the app. then you can assign controls to them. and the hololens would send out a single to say your room lights. to dim(if they can be dimmed) and to turn them on and off. to life your garage door. just move your hand up.
+Timon A people said Internet will collapse just in a year did it happen ? same way here is a lot of chance that it might takeover computer monitor and TV screen
I somehow found this far more mind-blowing than the hololens demos. With the demos you get the feeling that the situations are set up for the holograms to work perfectly and blend to that environment with no problems, but this actually shows that it really does work in the real world and not just in a perfectly set-up environment.
Hello Winbeta, how are you? My name is Rafael Shikamaru, I'm from Brazil and this one is my channel about the world of Microsoft. I am part of the Windows Team, which began #NewMobileDevicesInBrazil campaign on twitter. But what I would like to speak has nothing to do with this issue, in fact I would like to request permission to repost your video on Hololens in my channel, and narrate them in our language, of course, always keeping all credits to your site and channel with links in the description and matter. You would see a problem with that? I think the fantastic new holographic hardware from Microsoft and many people have his curiosity, but few Brazilians know the your language. Thank you in advance for the feedback :)
PLEASE make like 50 random videos on the hololens ........u MUST do it ....this is the closest I'll be to using one for years ....until one day when it's way better and it's like 300-400 bucks p.s. I found a few small channels with very regular content about the hololens
***** wait....I linked a few...probably there is a filter about links in this comment section....anyway if u just search for hololens and u use the filter sort by date u'll see them ...that's how I found them : ) .....btw also vihart's latest video is about the hololens...very good channel not related to tech stuff
Augmented reality + really high-definition scans of every artwork imaginable :-) Want the Mona Lisa on your wall? No problem. Can you imagine world famous actors playing the classical dramas in your living room?
The best usage for this would be to play RTS games! just imagine looking down and seeing the map beneath you :) Also great for board games, chess, etc.
1000's of people a year lose their holograms due to not following this simple advice! This technology is great, I can really see it coming down in price and entering everyday use. I would like to see if it's comfortable enough to wear all day. Might be an interesting site to see a coffee shop full of people playing and working on these.
I can't wait to have this, my phone, Xbox, and Microsift Band. I love my 2-in-1s so much but this will be my PC if it can handle it (and video editing software)
If this had a wifi network like Google Glass where I could go anywhere and still have a connection. I would instantly get it. Being it would be so much more convenient then carrying around a laptop or tablet. My only issue is how bulky it is, but in time I think they'll resolve that like Vuzix.
I really want one, but I'm not paying $3k for it. Also, they have to fix the FOV to make it useful Do you get use to the lack of FOV over time? After using it for such a long time, do you think the FOV is good as it is?
well it's not really for consumers it's a proof of concept and it's basically a shiny looking prototype not only the fov will get better but apparently there is tech that can make the glass behind the hologram black/not translucent plus when it's packed with more powerful hardware and sensors they can implement stuff like making the hologram projection react to objects that r supposed to be in front of them....meaning you can "cover the hologram with your hand"
Tech Reviews and Help well microsoft just announced (yesterday I think) that they will share the platform with other hardware companies ....but just like vr it will be some time until a few consumer version devices r on the market and that's just the first step towards getting it affordable and perfected but the thing is one day it will be as ubiquitous as monitors and pcs it's almost inevitable
it's not only a prototype, it's a stable release build, just the only broblem is hololens is only for companies and developers. However, time will change, slow but sure, hololens will be a consumer targeted things. but don't hope it will comes shortly. (Google glass is terrible as a developer-bussiness targeted smart glasses)
+Farhan Afnan Iskandar ok it's not "basically a shiny looking prototype" .... it's a development kit.. like it says on th box and obviously I didn't mean it literally... my point was that this is a different class of device and there r going to be a ton of different models on the market at some point and this dk version is just meant to show that it works and more importantly to be used for developing the software
Like MazariegoS saying, "The end of TV screens and Computer monitors", might be a real issue to companies which are specified on those subjects, but how is the quality of GUI, graphics ingames, latency, etc? I am thinking of buying one on a stable release (final retail version of that hardware and such), but being atm pretty unsure if I would buy one right now. HTC Vive and Oculus are just a disappointment. More bordering someone than releasing anyone to a virtual reality at once.
Those companies may just switch to hololens type of devices in the future and I'm sure not all hololens type of devices will have a whole computer on board.
How sensitive is the voice usability? I do not have working vocal chords(everything else works), and I kind of talk in a whisper, but if I Dragon Speak, or anything like Siri the device doesn't pick it up. If I record my voice it's nothing more than a click that is very annoying. I know what I am saying on it, but yeah...anyway that's the short end. I guess my question is can you activate anything by a keyboard, gesture, or anything like that without having to talk? Thanks.
Dude, Xbox is from Microsoft . Why would it build its greatest innovation to accommodate its rival in gaming? Not to mention that devices from the same company can be connected easier, :/.
0M9H4X I mean a hologram of a conventional computer which you could use instead of a real one. Because they are both proper Windows machines anyway, the Hololens could easily emulate a pc-like experience through that hologram.
If the resolution gets good enough, this would be a god send for developers. Being able to copy and paste code from various windows I have around me, without being tied down to a desk? I could be ANYWHERE and have not just my triple screens available to me, but endless screens all within a device I can fit into a back pack, and not kill myself to have to tote around. So having a virtual PC in front of you is a wonderful use of the Hololens' power :)
+nooneknowsnothing not if you have a strong wifi, instead of having this limited power if this lens was connecting to a powerful machine which is what most people who want this has then the possibilities are endless
That would be pointless. The power of hololens is that it can run everything without cables and extra gears. You just put them on and everything is ready for a full immersive experience. The mapping technology is way more advanced than any other visor out there. If you wish you can totally watch your computer wirelessly with Hololens by using the with RemoteDesktop Universal App, or TeamViewer Universal App (also already working on Continuum).
Microsoft may have failed with Windowsphone, but they will generate a whole new market with Hololense!
And Windows 10 Mobile. :)
Windows phone is half good half failed.
oSJme NO
Sean, thanks for being so passionate on these videos. Some reviewers seem to talk through their teeth when they talk about Hololens. Yours is a refreshing take.
This is seriously really freaking cool. Someone should make anapp that lets you click on objects to turn them on/off.
Do it! It's a genius idea, why should someone else make the money!? Connecting a Hololens to smart homes would be amazing! Though, it'd be catered to a small niche, that niche would have the money to go nuts with it :) :)
I'm pretty sure that already exists
Timon A Even better!
to make that work. you would have to have an app that tracks your real life stuff and lets assume it doesnt move. say like room lights, Stereo, electronic faucets, garage, etc. once you lock those things into the app. then you can assign controls to them. and the hololens would send out a single to say your room lights. to dim(if they can be dimmed) and to turn them on and off. to life your garage door. just move your hand up.
YES
the end of TV screens and Computer monitors
Nah I don't think so...
Yeah, this has to become affordable first XP
All in due time...
+Timon A people said Internet will collapse just in a year did it happen ? same way here is a lot of chance that it might takeover computer monitor and TV screen
Yeah this has to become super affordable first. 12 years maybe?
really cool. fortunate to experience HoloLens this past weekend. The most amazing tech i've ever used. just amazing.
This....is....amazing.
I somehow found this far more mind-blowing than the hololens demos. With the demos you get the feeling that the situations are set up for the holograms to work perfectly and blend to that environment with no problems, but this actually shows that it really does work in the real world and not just in a perfectly set-up environment.
Love this video, one of the best demos so far for the Hololens. Thank you!
"-losing my holograms"
**lays down** FUUUTUREEEE
first world problems
;-;
dont be dumb
I got it it's a spongebob reference :D?
?

that floating mouse cursor would be usefull for pointing at ioT abled devices
..
Here in 2024 buying a secondhand HoloLens and looking at content to know what to expect, this stuff is sick 😂
PLEASE make like 50 random videos on the hololens
........u MUST do it ....this is the closest I'll be to using one for years ....until one day when it's way better and it's like 300-400 bucks
p.s. I found a few small channels with very regular content about the hololens
what are those small channels?
***** wait....I linked a few...probably there is a filter about links in this comment section....anyway if u just search for hololens and u use the filter sort by date u'll see them ...that's how I found them : )
.....btw also vihart's latest video is about the hololens...very good channel not related to tech stuff

Also great for board games, chess, etc.
Or you could just, you know, buy a chess set
wtf...😨 what manner of sorcery is this 😁lol... love it!
love the commentry want more
Cool. Now its getting to be really useful. Can't wait for consumer version...
Hello future
Awesome MR (Mixed Reality)!!
Thanks for this Video!
1000's of people a year lose their holograms due to not following this simple advice!

Still waiting for this for Yu-Gi-Oh
I'd go for Sword Art Online and Accel World.
When was this video made? 2050?
I can't wait to have this, my phone, Xbox, and Microsift Band. I love my 2-in-1s so much but this will be my PC if it can handle it (and video editing software)
I can't but you could stream a real pc to it
Hmm, I wonder how much the price of the consumer version will be? Damn I love technology! I can't wait for this to become mainstream.
Can the Hololens 2 still do everything shown in this video even though it is made for businesses?
That's freaking cool!!
If this had a wifi network like Google Glass where I could go anywhere and still have a connection. I would instantly get it. Being it would be so much more convenient then carrying around a laptop or tablet. My only issue is how bulky it is, but in time I think they'll resolve that like Vuzix.

Not this second, but it needs to start having a push to come out.

porn can be everywhere now
yep. you can make the video apps follow you.
You can watch more than one video at once finally!
No one will know as well hahaha

boowonder888 ccccccccccc
wait
IS THAT SEAN?
That's "Sean Ong"... not "Sean Michael"
Ando Ganteng I know... i watch his video....
for a second I expected the mouse cursor to open the lights of the room :D
i am going to wait until this is in every one household, because than i will know the system will be good enough to mess with, without going nuts
It's good enough right now
bananaboy482 i meant me, not the program
Is the resolution and framerate as low as it looks in the video?
The browser window had text so small an aliased as to be unusable.
Stan V From what I hear people say in other videos, no. It's just in the video, the quality and resolution are much better.
480p!?!
this is recorded on the hololens hardware I don't think he had a choise..... it's not a desktop....or even a netbook
I cannot believe Microsoft's $3000 visual gadget from the future can only deliver visuals from 2005.
HoloLens can record its own Holograms in 720p only because it requires a lot of processing power, when you are not recording it's much sharper
Great video! HD Please.
WOW this is AMAZING :D
So, just look at the holograms that have been wearing glasses?
How responsive is the Xbox streaming? Is there input lag? Or is it like playing on a TV.
Its like playing on a tv but if you record microsoft hololens the recording always looks like there is lag but irl there isnt
Test it on your pc right now
really cool but it needs bluetooth for a keyboard because I would like some of my keyboard games to work
Could you use your mouse to click your mouse??
Are you also able to close the door with the mouse?
if you have complete fov it would be cool
was there any update to the fov?
How sensitive is the voice usability? I do not have working vocal chords(everything else works), and I kind of talk in a whisper, but if I Dragon Speak, or anything like Siri the device doesn't pick it up.

I guess my question is can you activate anything by a keyboard, gesture, or anything like that without having to talk? Thanks.
If you can't use it on your pc then you can't on hololens sorry
That's gonna stink a bit. :0( oh, well.
I wish the creators added both xbox and playstation
Dude, Xbox is from Microsoft . Why would it build its greatest innovation to accommodate its rival in gaming? Not to mention that devices from the same company can be connected easier, :/.
how "big" can you make a single screen to watch a video..
cooooool
wow
anyone here near Vancouver have one, please can I see it.
I'd get the Hololens if it wasn't for the fact that you need Windows 10.
I feel the same
What if there was a Surface or PC hologram which worked, basically continuum for Hololens. Why buy the computer when you can pretend it's there.
What do you mean? HoloLens is a Windows Computer, you don't have to pretend. It's sitting right on your head.
0M9H4X I mean a hologram of a conventional computer which you could use instead of a real one. Because they are both proper Windows machines anyway, the Hololens could easily emulate a pc-like experience through that hologram.
RGBPlaza But why would you even project a PC into the room? Isn't it just a waste of processing power of the HoloLens?
If the resolution gets good enough, this would be a god send for developers. Being able to copy and paste code from various windows I have around me, without being tied down to a desk? I could be ANYWHERE and have not just my triple screens available to me, but endless screens all within a device I can fit into a back pack, and not kill myself to have to tote around.
So having a virtual PC in front of you is a wonderful use of the Hololens' power :)
somehow, it's remind me with accel world lol
maybe a trackpad would be better instead of a mouse
This is real?!
How much is this, and can anyone buy it ? and wouldnt be more powerful if it just used your pc as the hardware driving force/computing power ?
Then u r stuck to a very small room. the greatest advantage is no tethering. That's y MS made it battery friendly.
+nooneknowsnothing not if you have a strong wifi, instead of having this limited power if this lens was connecting to a powerful machine which is what most people who want this has then the possibilities are endless
Waleed Aghamdi MS has some of the best brains in the world.
That would be pointless. The power of hololens is that it can run everything without cables and extra gears. You just put them on and everything is ready for a full immersive experience.

If you wish you can totally watch your computer wirelessly with Hololens by using the with RemoteDesktop Universal App, or TeamViewer Universal App (also already working on Continuum).
+Giulio Vismara that's cool if you can still hook me up to your computer, but can anyone by them yet ? And any estimations on price ?
0:38 xD
Dat antialiasing do! still amazing!
That's just the crappy recording camera. The user view isn't like that.
Ah ohk thnx
Check out austin evans video, shows how crisp and clear the screen actually is
whut?!?!?!
10th
JRE
hahah a garbage product ! no thanks
Haha an uninformed opinion! No thanks!
it's too expensive! and costs about 12,000 here in Brazil (which is where I to) would cost three times (36.000) '-'
