Whoa.

 

[wenis]

They forgot that it's all the size of what a Polaroid? Smaller than that?

 

[Crypt]

That was amazing. Easily the coolest thing from the conference so far.

 

[BeforeU]

FOV of Hololense is bad. So I don't know how it looks in when you put it on. You see part of the world only.

 

[Nakkilokki]

Forza Autovista on HoloLens will be good.

 

[Arkeband]

I was annoyed that they weren't showing her tablet actually playing the game. Without that, for all we know everything we saw was scripted and wasn't actually playing out in real time.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Remember guys, the FOV is a small square.
The demo itself is real but the FOV is a small box.

 

[Hip Hop]

This made more excited than VR, but still need to see how it really works.

 

[Steiner84]

this is so cool

i mean legit awesome

 

[ohlawd]

so cool how that table dropped all that sand and the world was building

 

[phanphare]

that was crazy

hololens is looking really cool so far

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Looked like bullshit to me.

 

[DoublePayje]

They forgot that it's all the size of what a Polaroid? Smaller than that?

You forget you didnt wear a Hololens? Stuff on TV always looks smaller than in real life because cameras. If you have it an inch away from your eyes it might work just fine.

 

[Guevara]

I don't know what to think of that.

Seemed amazing at first, but not actually fun to play like that for any length of time.

 

[SentryDown]

Sure it's cool, but how is it interesting gameplay-wise ?!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Remember guys, the FOV is a small square.
The demo itself is real but the FOV is a small box.

yeah, that sucks. hope they figure out how to widen it.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Looked like bullshit to me.

Same and even if it was real it looked pretty pointless.

 

[Pathfinder]

More excited than ever about this tech. The demo was amazing.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Not bad but not practical for my bedroom.

SRPG games would rock with this tech. Imagine a new Final Fantasy tactics.

 

[daxgame]

it looked good, but Kinect also did. Fool me once... I'll wait until stuff is released.

 

[Jinkies]

FOV of Hololense is bad. So I don't know how it looks in when you put it on. You see part of the world only.

That's right, it looks similar to 3DS augmented reality in terms of world immersion.

 

[Sajjaja]

...Imagine playing Civilization with this. Or Crusader Kings.....man....

 

[tj hazuki]

Sword...Art...Online?

Soon well be yelling 'UPLINK....START!' in our living rooms. Scary/cool at the same time.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Milo v2.0?

Regardless, didn't really add to the gameplay experience imo. In fact, being able to see secrets with wall hack actually takes away from it.

 

[BatDan]

Looked like bullshit to me.

Agreeing with this.
Remember Milo?

 

[Taker666]

I can't get excited about it after hearing about the limited FOV. I want to be able to see everything..not just a rectangles worth. I certainly won't buy until I can try.

 

[MissCauthon]

Oh MY GOD!!!

 

[Mugatu]

I can't believe that is real but I really want it to be.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

They forgot that it's all the size of what a Polaroid? Smaller than that?

Yup, very misleading footage. Which is a shame, because what they showed looked super cool but that's not what it's going to look like, and I don't think they should mislead people in that way.

 

[spinalscratch]

vaporware

 

[itxaka]

D&D lovers are salivating. I know I am.

 

[Ithil]

 

[SkullHydra]

It looked awesome, but I question how real it was...

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

You forget you didnt wear a Hololens? Stuff on TV always looks smaller than in real life because cameras. If you have it an inch away from your eyes it might work just fine.

No, the actual field of view while it's strapped to your face is supposedly really shitty.

 

[TrutaS]

Marketing is not helping with this. It will backfire a great deal when users realize the experience is nothing like advertised.

 

[fedexpeon]

This is amazing.
It is mindblowing to me how fast technology is progressing.

 

[Pikma]

That shit was staged as fuck, it's Kinect all over again

 

[SwiftDeath]

Looked cool. But not sure I'd care to play MC like that if it even works that well

 

[AmaterasuOni]

FOV of Hololense is bad. So I don't know how it looks in when you put it on. You see part of the world only.

Yeah, I've read the same. It's only a gimmick at the moment. Let's see if MS can do something with it.

 

[Sola Scriptura]

HoloLens and VR are not mass-marketable and never will be. Only the hardest of the hardcore will come anywhere near either one.

 

[GustyGardens]

Great demo, but I'll definitely have to wait and see with this thing. I've heard a few things that I don't like about it, so...we'll see. Still, it was pretty rad.

 

[Duffman]

That was cool.

Probably staged tho.

 

[darkwing]

this is amazing imo

 

[Ploid 3.0]

This will be great for esport commentators if the game is designed around holo lens that is. I doubt it will do that type of stuff for Dota, Counter Strike, and Starcraft 2 without official support and a big patch.

Edit: Though they could just make a new camera view, and allow the commentators to move it around with a mouse and keyboard or controller. Yeah never mind.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Once again, total misrepresentation with a mythical perfect FOV and not the incredibly limited window it is in reality.

That theyre continuing to be this disingenuous is bad juju. The blowback is not worth the "in dev" lies.

 

[BlackNinja]

Pretty awesome tech there...

 

[wenis]

You forget you didnt wear a Hololens? Stuff on TV always looks smaller than in real life because cameras. If you have it an inch away from your eyes it might work just fine.

No dude like the actual tech in the glasses, the viewing space is about a bit bigger than a postage stamp.

 

[Sylfurd]

Completly bullshoted with the camera ...

Larger FoV, bigger resolution, better colors (how do you display black on a white/Blue wall or light colored wood table by projecting light ?) ...

 

[LiK]

lots of potential

 

[Illucio]

It looks cool, but this is something I'd rather go to a big building to play like Laser Tag, rather than in my own home. I feel like it wouldn't work too well unless I'm in a big livingroom space and I moved furniture around or something like that.
