Wall size portable screen monitor? Hell yes!

I bet in a couple of years this will be made into contact lenses.

[totalchaos]

this thing probably has to have the most hardcore cpu in the world

[sacheverelle]

So what happens in a space with multiple people? Would it just be a mess of hovering screens following everyone around?

[MrWinnieP]

Looks good through the camera but I wonder how much darker or distorted the images will look through those dark glasses. I'm sure it will change over time but I wonder if it's possible for them to make the glass completely clear.

Now if Apple had done this, that would have made them the tech company everyone believes them to be. Instead they put out an unnecessary overpriced watch that does nothing different from your phone. I miss you Steve Jobs.

Please for the love of god let us pin an animation of cortana onto a table which we can interact with and ask questions.

My childhood dreams would be forever accomplished.

Seems great but what about battery life

[ohok]

Wow that looks amazing. I'm curious what type of hardware will the average person need to make and or use the holograms and how much will they cost initially.

[netherhaileygaming]

I need one the second they come out to the public

[Fnatic]

Wow so innovative. Now this is the future augmented reality will lead to. Only i wish to be alive when it reaches the degree of being integral part of our lives.

[ROCdevelopments]

Imagine playing like laser tag with this and you could make like incoming bombs and planes and make it look like a war zone.

[charlesverg]

This is cool, but it shouldn't stop us from popularizing projected holograms. We shouldn't always rely on a headset to see and interact with holograms.

[emil]

the future of ignoring people is here!

[jcqy]

It looks awesome but I wonder will it really become a consumer product we can buy in store and how long we have to wait because it just seems too perfect.

[Tragel]

Great prototype now imagine this but the size of glasses

[MechanicsStudents]

This isn't really a hologram. It's augment reality, meaning having 3D objects on the 4D plain through some sort of device.
Still cool though.

[Scoring]

First a phone you couldn't put away, now glasses you can't take off

[SuperATTK]

This is crazy... One problem with it though, is looking at a screen like that dangerous for long periods of time?

[OldUKAds]

Look at their Natal vision video... you'll see they're very good on promise, not good on delivery.
