This is the view that Microsoft showed the world to represent what a user wearing HoloLens sees.
This is the experience that they were being sold. But HoloLens does not have this kind of view. It is far more limited and a lot of people don't seem to know this. In reality, this is all you see as far as Hololens goes.
The fact that only a portion of your perspective is altered in a consistent space drastically changes how immersive the experience is. It is still some cool technology, but it is a far cry from what they demonstrated. I've heard very little talk about this detail. Shouldn't it be considered deceptive of Microsoft to misrepresent how the HoloLens works? They could have easily demonstrated the limited viewing size and explained it during the conference.
