Looks pretty cool, similar to the concept shown earlier.

You can record everything you can see. Which is how that video was likely produced. Why is it called fake?

Asked the Youtube guy for details on whether this is capturing actual output--he previously posted this:

+Ken Heslip yep! captured from a HoloLens, via our mixed reality capture tech (MRC)

So you don't need a tv at all?

Runs at the same resolution, no lag, etc?

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Wow.

 

[Ol No Bones]

Very neat. Will be amazing when the field of view improves in a future iteration.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Holy shit that is awesome. The FoV looks much better too?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

I think the input lag will be a problem for most games through a network.

Is this one of those fake virals, or does random bedroom gamer guy have this to hand:

I don't think that video was simulating the FOV but I hope it improves.

How do you figure? It's a video feed.

 

[AkelisRain]

That seems really cool.

 

[etta]

I'm guessing it will run pretty similar when it's available to consumers to how it runs on Windows 10 now.

Not sure, jacked it from Twitter.

 

[ChosenPredator]

thats fucking sick. I can't wait to see where it's at in a few more years.

 

[Zedox]

MMmmm....yesssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh


EDIT: It's the feed from the Hololens itself...not from the view of the user (you would have to be the person's eyeball)

 

[chugen]

neat

 

[FelipeMGM]

Hmmmm, this is awesome, but could it be fanmade? Guy has no other videos and no association with MS whatsoever

EDIT: Not really fake, but more a marketing thing since all of the videos are by MS employees

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Guessing fake/mock up for now.

 

[DorkyMohr]

Hmmmm, this is awesome, but could it be fanmade? Guy has no other videos and no association with MS whatsoever

Dev kits don't ship until 2016 as well.

 

[Machina]

Can you stretch the frame to make it bigger without killing resolution?

 

[FelipeMGM]

Dev kits don't ship until 2016 as well.

Also this, looks like its a fake/fan mockup then

There are some dev kits already out there.

This still just feels like a step on the way to proper VR, rather than an end product in and of itself to me, especially for gaming.

I dunno, I'm just not getting why this is anything more than an impressive proof of concept. I mean why would this be better than a proper TV or monitor? Apart from if you don't have one available, how would this actually provide a superior experience? Less lag? Higher resolution? Better image quality? What's this improving on?

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Sorcery

Doubt it very much. That was far from legit. Probably somebody having fun in aftereffects/ 3Dsmax or something.

 

[VanquishUK]

It's a shame the streaming feature sucks. Too much delay even on an ethernet connection. The HoloLens is really impressive either way.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Nice, but i need to see some receipts first.

Feels like a fan mock up.

Err, it's actually a very good implementation.
Maybe check your connection?

I would say VR is a step to true AR. Not the other way round. This AR however is not really happening any time soon. This is not even a general consumer product as much as they try to attach the "cool factor" to actual general consumer products they sell.

 

[Fliesen]

well, another "concept rendering" that doesn't portray the actual constraint of the hardware.

It's neat and all but we're just managing to have "dumb" TV panels reach a sweet spot of resolutions, display refresh rate, image quality and input latency.
The first (few) iterations of HoloLens are going to be so utterly useless for this kind of application (as a gaming display, that is)

The only point people keep showing its supposed applications for gaming is because the gaming community is really really vocal, enthusiastic, (and gullible)

Oh snap, you can make the window pretty large, assuming you are positioned at an appropriate distance.

 

[Squire]

Oh snap, "make bigger" looks cool.

Yeah, I was hoping you could do that. That's the first thing I'd use.

 

[Fliesen]

What....the....

you realize, this is a simulated depiction of how a device with unrestricted FoV would display these kinds of things.

The first time the dude says "make bigger", we're beyond what the technology is currently (and, according to Spencer, anytime soon) is capable of.

Looks pretty cool but I have no faith in this though.

I don't think it's something I'd really use very often or want to spend money on. Hopefully it ends up doing well though.

Well, i don't think anyone doubts that this depiction of basic AR is "fake".

what's fake is that this is not a rendition of what you can actually perceive wearing a HoloLens device.

"AR" is nothing new. You could export a video showing some AR app on your smartphone. What HoloLens brings to the table that is new is the actual physical device. And that device is just not capable of what is shown in these "exported" videos

 

[Turin Turambar]

Obviously fake, or done with the "special camera".

In the real Hololes the image doesn't magically float up in the air in the middle of nothing, but it's emitted in a physical visor, in a crystal.


Where is the visor in the video?

We still haven't seen a "real" video, where a guy takes a Hololens with one hand and with a camera in the other focus on what the eye sees, putting the Hololes in front of the lens.

Because it isn't addressing the FOV issue they had 6 months ago.

On the user's face? It's recording from the device itself.

 

[jax]

These are fake. I've worn HoloLens. There's no way in hell this is real. The FoV is literally 1/3 the size of this.

 

[RowdyReverb]

If the consumer version has the same FOV as the dev kit, I think I'd prefer to just have the whole field filled with the game feed.
Though, that might be more nausea-inducing since it isn't behaving like a traditional screen. Now I'm not sure.
