Hologram field of view is very limited, it's only in a small box, not immersive. Especially objects clipping in and out of FOV breaks immersion significantly. Nothing like the demos.

This impression stands out to me fro the rest of the hololens impressions which are overwhelmingly positive so I thought this deserved its own thread.
box me in a tiny FOV if old.
edit: apparently there's a written article for this as well. at the time of the posting of the thread it wasn't available:
