Microsoft HoloLens Review, mind blowing Augmented Reality!

Microsoft HoloLens review, AR- mind blowing!
My expectations were already high, but when I tried the HoloLens, my mind was blown at how outrageously good it is.

I show you Microsoft Office 365 running through my HoloLens, accessing Excel and Word as Holograms. I then access Microsoft Edge for web browsing plus YouTube, just incredible; AR for business.

I run some extremely cool HoloLens apps such as LSrD (wow, imagine the DMT trips you could simulate on this!) and then Galaxy Explorer to see our Solar System including the Sun and Saturn at very close up range.

I then run a Beta 3D simulation of a shark, once again, absolutely incredible. I zoom into the shark hologram whilst it's swimming around my living room.

It's without doubt the hand gestures need some work as it's hard to manipulate objects when at a distance. The only other problem is the field of view is small, but once this has been resolved through future iterations of the HoloLens, AR is set to change the world.

Then, to go a step further with my futurist hat on, consider the Softcell Lens (AR in a contact Lens) and the EyeTap and the future really looks exciting, I see AR impacting every part of our lives. If we want it to of course.

I discuss emails, text messages and phone calls delivered through AR, the replacement / death of mobile phones and the personal computer. Death of the mouse & keyboard, eye-tracking, field of view, Adaptive Focus (Magic Leap) and even, imaginary friends!

at 2:45, you can clearly see the girlfriend simulator app at work

This is the first piece of tech i have been truly excited about in a long time. Great vid, subbed!

3D shark hologram? Man, Back To The Future really hit it on the nose!!

[TrendOrchestra]

Great video James. Very tempted to get one myself now - The price is pretty steep mind. Have you seen what Magic Leap is working on? Apparently their device takes in to consideration the light in the room in order to make the AR more realistic!

This is the future as long as they can make it better and smaller

[alishanmao]

man these tech we saw in Movies only and now they are here. Amazing. Can't imagine life gonna be like when all these are publicly used.

[soogoonu]

first time in my entire life to be quite amazed by Microsoft - first time ever. It is so easy to see how and why it is a game changer, as soon as the price will drop of course.

"Game changer" has been an over used term when talking about new technologies this decade! Much like the overuse of the word "Awesome"

In this video however James Mackie rightly uses the phrase! "This is a Game Changer!" Because guess what? It truly is! The implications for the uses of this technology are so far reaching that everyone should be more excited!

The video gives a great first look at the potential of this incredible product! I look forward to seeing more from the AR Hololens!

This technology could bring back brick and mortar stores but into the virtual world. Imagine being able to go to book stores long gone to be able to explore and discover new things as we once did. I really think this technology will be a game changer.

Hey man, you captured a ghost @ 3:08, 3:10, and 3:30. Great job man! 👍😊

Man, this thing will be so popular with paranormal investigators

[TheUnknownD]

I wish that it would be cheaper than 3, 000 someday.

[jenanjuice]

Can't wait for it to be refined and for sale🤗

[viralinside]

Please China, make copy of this! Because maybe it could be $500 (or less)

[supervolant]

Just wow. This blows my mind so hard. I can't think of anything else. I need to try that!

[stvkls]

What about the small field of view? Is it fixed?

[joshgiesbrecht]

Aw man the shark had me sold. The motion tracking is sooo smooth.

[Revelationz]

Its the future, may be expensive, but new tech is never cheap.

[Wakeup]

You show MOm this and show her the potential for changing colors or moving things. It appears that it scans your room as you look around. This thing is awesome

[truecuckoo]

Great demo. I find it immediately more interesting than VR glasses. The AR approach is just more intriguing in he end.. One doesn't have to stop the other though. What's the resolution? In the video it looks kinda low res?

[ColbyFulton]

Your hair is an absolute game changer. If Donatella Versace was in my house, I'd probably freak out and yell "holy shit why is this hideous yet well-dressed homeless woman in my house"
