Microsoft's new holographic augmented reality demo. - General

[QUOTE=Orkel;47637253]From hands on reports, zero eye strain. The "holograms" are extremely solid, no jitter, no lag, and no translucency. Like seriously real feeling. The huge problem with the device is the field of view, you only see the holograms within a small rectangle in front of you. The reports have equated it to a large TV in front of you, or a "single square credit card 2 inches from your face". Things that are far away look fine, but anything that comes closer starts clipping off the top/side/bottom because of the field of view.[/QUOTE] Sounds like something they will fix in next iteration. Also this sounds really amazing. Can't wait when we advance enough to integrate this tech into normal glasses or even into contact lenses.

I wonder how this will go for businesses like they'll be able to customise everything with this software but at the same time what's stopping a customer plaster gay porn all over the shops walls?

[QUOTE=Trumple;47635032]Imagine in the future if houses had really basic furniture, no ornaments or decorations. You'd be walking around a vibrant, exciting room then take off the goggles and see the reality as something quite bland. That's actually what's kinda sad about this. Same goes for the virtual dog, I think the whole thing has depressing undertones[/QUOTE] In a way, that would be good. Think- all of a sudden, you wouldn't be limited by your income any more. You just buy a chair, and you can make it look however you want. Yes, without the goggles things might look bland, but if this is the future, we could save a lot of money just by avoiding expensive real-life decorations and using Glass instead.

[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;47630107]I want to do 3D modeling with this. Also, it better respond to "Jarvis" and have an English accent.[/QUOTE] It'll sound like cortana...

Sure customer might put gay porn in his view but it won't appear for anyone else while the business visuals will.

I don't know why, but every demo so far they've shown, the testers aren't behaving naturally at all. It just feels like everything was badly coreographed. When they move their hands to interact with the holograms it always feels off. It all ends up looking awkward as hell.

Does the system respond to that in realtime or is it also scripted? That we don't know.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;47630004]I have a ScreenCap from the previous demo They just put a hololens in front of the camera lens :v:[/QUOTE] The idea is to take the video overlay from the holo lenses and apply it to the video feed from the camera.
