The HoloLens 2 Tour! - Discovering a World of Holograms

I had the opportunity to have here and use for more than 2 weeks Hololens 2, the Mixed Reality ( Augmented Reality ) Headset from Microsoft!
Let's see together in this demo how it works, the good and the bad, in this first hands experience! Let's get into it!

[@Tyrielwood]

Thanks again to the 90K of you!! :) The Race to the ☑️ begins!! BIG news coming soon!! Be ready!!

[@robotman011]

Will you talk about Facebook’s AR wristband? It’s something out of black mirror 😅

[@aerplanes7212]

Lets gooooooooooo

[@AndroidFerret]

Wtf ...what WLAN Standard does that use ?? 2? 1.5?

[@nathan-ms3zc]

Absolutely insane. 25 years ago i had a NES and now this is here, mind blowing. Just imagine in 10 years how refined this will be.

[@dellman2kawesome]

[@rednk9106]

I feel like Hololens would be a nicer to use around your home. VR is more of a: "You're in one area, but transported to a new world" type thing. AR just seems like a really fun way to be comfortable at home.

[@Felipe-zl1rj]

AR and VR will ultimately be in a single device.

[@DarknessEssense]

AR is for everything with enough time. Can’t wait

[@thebush6077]

only if they can make it thinner and lighter, something more like normal glasses instead of a thicc headset

[@lewissmith4602]

Augmented reality in its current form is already quite amazing and useful, especially in enterprise. I think that once Apple releases their headset people's perception of augmented reality is going to change as they will expect it to be available in everyday situations everywhere. I own both the magic leap and the hololens 2 and they are amazing headsets, but they don't work in direct sunlight, I expect Apple will deal with that issue.

[@TheFiskerlars]

@@thebush6077 apple will use their iphone to power their AR Glasses = Lighter design

[@MeetKevin]

Great vid!

[@SubstanceD91]

love your realtor vids, my sister got her license cus of you

[@thomasphilly132]

Woooo hoo! 90k, I remember when you had 100! You're the best, Ty! Thanks for giving us this walkthrough of HoloLens 2, I hope I get to eventually try this in person!

[@CyrusYareff]

This was a great demo video. I really didn't know that the hololense was just putting the WMR environment in your house. That is really cool and I am now officially excited for the future of AR!

[@TheStoopidMonkey]

Congrats on 90k! Been here since 16k, and excited to see you hit six figures!

[@chrisphobia]

Yeah man. It's gonna be a while, but we'll get there; some day. Cheers for the vids and congrats on the subs. You rock!

[@Yukki64_]

This looks awesome! Can't wait for that kind of technology in glasses...

[@dtvfan24]

I’m blowed away. First seeing how much holo lens and AR has come. This really changing how business will interact with customers and also teams can collaborate

[@nekotuga2469]

This kind of technology would be damn amazing to work on when you need multiple screens! Also, planning a room layout would be amazing if you could "fit the pieces" before you bought them and trying out new arrangements too before commiting to them o: So close to 100k man! You deserve it, keep up the good work :D

[@attilastevekopias]

For a digital nomad, this (after some improvements) would allow to travel with so much more screen estate. And also the same way we use our phones for everything while traveling, I expect the future versions of these to be really useful for making photos/videos, recognizing top tourist attractions and showing small (i) icons next to them that I can click and see detailed info about their history, with even a digital reconstruction overlay for ruins etc, and similar stuff for cafes and accommodation. Realtime translated texts when in a foreign language environment, but maybe even subtitles for people speaking other languages. This definitely will be revolutionary some days, and will be normalized (as cellphones have been, even though at first everybody hated those annoying people who had one). It's just impossible to tell if we are 1 year from it or 10.

[@alianderson889]

90k !!! 10k TILL 100k ‼️‼️‼️ IM SO EXITED

[@neha1299]

Exciting !!! Thanks for sharing

[@scoobysnacks209]

ye know what would be freaky? watching yourself walking around the room in AR getting close up with yourself triiiiiiiiiiippy

[@SativaLungz]

There are Vr games that do this with just your avatar, and even that is unsettling yet exhilarating. What you describe would be almost a Psychedelic experience, like something out of Minority Report.

[@alexfoxleigh9443]

For me, the primary use case would be a screen replacement. I'd no longer need a phone or a bank of computer monitors or a TV/projector, I'd just have the headset. That would be extremely powerful for me.

[@SteveKnows]

stop teasing me the big news!!! :D I'm on edge :D this is a sweet vid too

[@Tyrielwood]

ahahah it will make many people happy :)

[@supersteve76]

Pokemon Go is about to go to a whole new level.

[@vuice6601]

For the people who can afford it.

[@theb1ak3rl13]

You still hit a wall! At around 7:30 😂 but awesome video! My HoloLens is on the way! Rest assured my dream is to bring the Visual “MetaVerse” we really want into your homes. For the single and pure reason to make life better and move us into a new era of creativity. Forget colorful avatars like Meta and prepare for the tech to come to you. Remove the screens, be you and let’s change the world together.

[@ion4798]

what does Apple innovated with their visionPro if this video has been uploaded 2 yars ago, with same functionality, and even glass is transparent and you really see the real world not a virtul blurry sh*t

[@alp5439]

I hope it will coming soon to all of us. I am thinking maybe it would work better with the facebook neural wristband, that way it can accurately read the hand command. And congrats for the 90k 🥳🥳

[@rtyzxc]

I can see the potential, but for business they need - functional and useful applications - processing power to do real work. One way to do this would be seamlessly offloading processing to computers and stream the data into the headset. The only things that really need to be done in the headset is hand interactions and rendering. For consumer, lower end hardware will work fine, but, more importance should be put to form factor.

[@dafphtthedislikeupdater7836]

agreed, cant wait till the processing power catches up with modern PCs today

[@navinbhandari2001]

I actually bought one of these on eBay for £1,300..but I could find uses for it, thanks tyriel for the video, for sure it gonna help :)

[@colinjjsullivan]

You're a Genesis fan! Great stuff!

[@justifyer24]

This is super cool!

[@CaveyMoth]

Man, Windows Mixed Reality just makes me feel good. A lot of people don't like it. But it's my favorite VR/MR/AR platform. It's so simple!

[@jasonhemphill6980]

I also like it. Inside out tracking without FB down your throat.

[@stumpyschof]

The Hololens, when you was recording were you saving it locally or recording the screen capture from the device manager on your PC? the dev tools from connecting with your IP allows for a lot of information to be seen and smoother for recording. Some people commenting about manipulation and other elements based on learning there are already companies who have worked on all these things themselves but usually, as their own applications it's a cool piece of tech for sure but the headset itself has some limitations but fun to develop for. Nice to see people showing it off a little.

[@mathiasriissrensen7123]

Thats so cool!

[@elliotc6739]

New subscriber here! love the channel Tye

[@blackhatson13]

exciting! it makes me think that native desktop development like uwp is far from dead

[@MuKo18]

I think the Hololens 3 next year will be interesting. And starting with Hololens 4 it could become a massmarked thing.

[@agameimvu2926]

Yeah, nice concept.

[@Errwea1]

That’s dope💯‼️‼️‼️

[@DracoLight]

Really interesting video

[@NuScorpii]

I was going to mention the hands being occluded by the apps but you covered that at the end of the video. Instead of rendering virtual hands though you could just not render the parts of the app window where your hands should be. It can do this for 3d objects and walls, so should be possible for hands too.

[@mrelisard]

I would describe AR as terminator vision. Everyone gets that.

[@mrelisard]

@The Puppymaster one click purchase that bikers clothes with amazon

[@natev7870]

He's also like the terminator in how he doesn't blink

[@ameliabuns4058]

you're so lucky to get to try it

[@Wesley-pk5de]

Congratulations on 90k! About Hololens, if there are two features that they definitively should focus on, is field of view and the translucent holograms... I think with those two issues fixed, we will be living like on scifi movies pretty soon. Question: did you tried the nreal glasses?

[@whattypeofx7750]

I never knew this existed, pretty sick

[@TexasRy]

Hi Tyriel, would you have any recommendations on the best AR glasses for general windows desktop work? My eyesight is starting to falter from looking at screens for years and thinking of getting some AR glasses, so I don't have to strain my eyes so much, trying to read small text, etc. I ran across the Lenovo RealityThink which is ~$1,500 and thinking of getting that but the HoloLens, while more expensive, looks good too. Do you have any thoughts on a good set of AR glasses I could use for Windows Desktop work? I will NOT be playing games, just working :-) Thank you sir and great videos, be fan, please keep them coming :-)

[@vamshiss3770]

Awesome

[@ALEXANDERUJANG]

love to playing game with this thing

[@Cyrribrae]

That's kinda weird. The internal recorder in v1 seemed more stable. Oh well. Cool video!

[@ComdrStew]

Congrats on 90k just 10k to go. They need to fix the recorder but overall it looks really good. Your house looks like the one I grew up in. Same doors, window trim, and even the crystal door knobs. I think in the future you will not have TVs or monitors, you will just use an AR device.

[@World_Theory]

I think the strength of that particular XR device, will be and remain as simple, lightweight apps only. Things like notepads, light web browsing, a calculator, perhaps a photogrametic measuring app for finding rough dimensions of objects. Probably some things we use smartphones for as well, like calls. A holopresence application might be possible with additional setup of equipment, but would be better handled by VR. I don't think you're going to get as big an improvement to processing power, as soon as you hope from something that size. The size will need to increase. I think the Hololens would work better as a peripheral to a powerful smartphone, so that it could offload most of the processing to the smartphone. It would probably be best to have a wired connection between the two, the free up Bluetooth bandwidth for other accessories. And because you'll need to keep your phone on your person at all times to use the glasses. I think a bulkier XR headset would be the way to go, in order to get heavier apps to work. I'm sure some rich business types would balk at the idea of wearing bulky glasses. But there may be a way to make them stylish with the right designer. And if they make sure that they're the absolute best performance XR glasses, it should hopefully create a trend where none existed before. By the way, I'm assuming that these will be marketed toward businesses long before consumers. So it's the businesses Microsoft will need to convince.

[@Darkshine585]

has a drawer it would be usefull for me, to put all my references on walls :) great video

[@irontrooper2044]

I have a question on the WMR HP, mine pretty much brand new but when i try opening Minecraft through mixed portal, it just shows the loading-in scene then cuts back to the lobby. Do you know what causes this?

[@LuisMolinaAl]

I think this would be merged with a x86 processor for a laptop, and do all the apps in x86 processor but the interactions and at things left for the ARM processor. That would have the potential for replace a office setup. All depends in the resolution of the screen. How the text is shown in the headset?

[@redbikerdude]

Finally, I can create a new element to replace paladium for my arc reactor, design the MkII and figure out how to go back in time.

[@Jeskee]

Nice video ❤️

[@TristynRusselo]

how is the opacity? can the holograms look solid? or is everything partly translucent?

[@chromosome24]

The pixel data (including the holographic overlay) and the volumetric data need to be feed into an NN to improve object occlusion.

[@L1VE3V1L]

Haven’t even tried Hololense 1 yet. 😂 I have NO IDEA how this would be of any use, though it is neat tech.

[@dennisjohnson9753]

How do I pick the correct Hololens 2 for the different versions they have?

[@KD-pk7yh]

How much do they cost and how did you order it ? And nice video

[@levoGAMES]

I predict that it'll take about 10 years until we are starting to see first mainstream application of AR functionality in public in major cities. Like shops displaying virtual product scans for AR customers. It'll take quite some time until it's perceived as normal. Even today we don't have that many screen/touch screens for similar purposes like ordering kiosks in dining locations. A core requirement is a standard framework that unifies devices, scans & creations across platforms and networks. Personalized ads etc would require a single cross platform avatar/account. I personally would love to see something like an AR navigation HUD and connecting your phone to AR.

[@briarklehr1971]

Is it true that MVIS makes the engine for Hololense2?

[@professord8888]

Tyriel, sorry if I missed it, but I watched the whole video and still did not get a sense of if/when this is going to be on the market and available for purchase. Are you testing a version that is getting ready to ship, or is this a prototype that still has no street date?

[@jamesyoungerdds7901]

Huge fan, thanks Tyriel and congrats on the 90k! Just curious, could you have made that penguin human-sized and have it skating around your room and colliding with and redirecting based on detected in-room objects?

[@DeanDrop]

Awesome! It looks like the software is there, we just need some more computing power..

[@Tyrielwood]

yep, and smaller and less expensive headsets :)

[@Anderson-hi9qw]

Do the holograms appear infront or behind your hand

[@PMX]

I think the keys to make this a commercial device would be weight & battery life. I like my Quest but even with the elite strap it's not really comfortable to use for long periods, and for AR you'll ideally want it to be as transparent as possible. Having it weight down on your face or having it constantly run out of battery would be a deal breaker there, not just an inconvenience.

[@TotalGAMIX]

Apple vr and AR could be huge!

[@mrpdub2472]

Nice Normandy, you getting the Legendary edition?

[@alibradford6310]

It's amazing and so awesome! After seeing the HoloLens, I became so sad to live in a third world country especially since the price of HoloLens equals one year of my income, so I decided to cut down on my food and stop buy me cloths so after two or three years I can maybe buy it. They are so many way how these HoloLens will improve my quality of life and increase my knowledge and ability to learn and also increase my income. Soon I will have it, I will share everything I do with it so that people can see how it could increase our knowledge and our quality of life in a daily bases.

[@that1pokemonYT]

Please be careful friend. It's not worth cutting down 3 meals daily.

[@ADAMAT1C]

It's cool that this is basically windows mixed reality but irl

[@busimatch]

Hi, thnx for the video. Can it replace 20+ screens for trading? ( To use it instead investing in 6 screens with 4 charts per screen )

[@user-wv1in4pz2w]

As I understand from the video, the screens are currently slow, but one day something like this will definitely replace monitors.

[@keithjames3024]

Totally cool tech. Hopefully the tech becomes small enough to wear it like a pair of glasses throughout the day.

[@DeusExNihilo]

I think I'll wait till 3 or 4

[@SinanAkkoyun]

Is it as laggy as on video?

[@jamesgardiner2869]

I was just blown away when I thought I could plot myself in a game environment just like VR except with AR so you still see parts of a room like keyboard and mouse. This would duplicate the experience by a projection overlay just like a projector adapting the background for a screen. So you would have screens and sprites over and over again until immersion into where there is nothing left of reality, professionally developed by a game publisher the same way progress has been made from 2D era to immersive results.

[@thebush6077]

no hand occlusion?

[@alextaylor6755]

only 3,500$? Ok I can save for this. this is going change the future and how I see the world

[@fabiocecchini4752]

I'd like to see how it works with adobe illustrator or photoshop, i tried them on windows mixed reality and the pc fan was taking off and the lenses were so glitching like crying ..so I'm curios to see adobe on this holo2

[@Tyrielwood]

they use the cloud to render high poly holograms

[@abstract_duck]

is nice ... yet not miles far from what quest 2 can do with passthrough ... seems more ergonomic and ballanced tho so perhaps in 2023 I'll be writing a document in Word while jogging (the voice to text option could have a use for once)

[@dtoodlez513]

👏

[@seandeefromthechi8118]

Im commenting before the video even started. Is it worth it for an average person? I had the Epson moverio, it just wasn't consumer ready. They were cool for my drone but that was about it.

[@rogerruiz1801]

How much does it cost ?

[@joelface]

This is starting to look more and more functional, but I'm still thinking we're a couple iterations away from AR appealing to consumers as a product they're actually go out and buy. So far the applications are little more than tech demos. Even Spatial looks like a tech demo more than an actually functional workspace. I think the number one thing that needs to improve is the latency from your inputs. It's getting close, but it isn't there yet. It needs to be imperceptible if people are going to USE the device rather than just try it out. What AR is going to need is a killer app. It's not going to be floating holograms you place around your house, or even a virtual space for work meetings, though that latter one is getting much closer to the actual value of the device. I can actually see board gamers virtually meeting around a "shared" table winning over a lot of people - but can that compete with playing in a virtual sandbox with others? VR just seems more exciting, even if AR does have some very unique functions. I'm actually curious to see an AR/VR hybrid that essentially has a second-headset you slide over the AR glasses to block out the world, and maybe give it some extra power.

[@ethanbridglal2203]

Quick Question, is the Hand tracking on Hololens 2 better than Oculus Quest 2, similiar, or different?

[@KalaniMakutu]

Infinitely better. The Hololens 2 supplements the IR cameras with Time of Flight LIDAR cameras that measure the position of your hands with sub-millimeter accuracy, and are tracking a dedicated “hands” field of view” in addition to the surrounding area LIDAR, IR, and RGB cameras. In addition, the Hololens incorporates iris tracking where you can do all these “click, move, and scroll” actions entirely with your eye movements - something that no other device presently offers. But, the Hololens is 10x the price of the Oculus Quest 2, and almost double that of the Magic Leap One which is its nearest competitor. Also, a lot of the lag seen in this video was because none of the updates were installed, instead running on the initial release firmware, combined with the number of holograms present in the scene. Those have improved significantly over the past year.

[@pumpuppthevolume]

weird the recorder was smoother than that

[@ginatails]

AR would be good for learning piano, and maybe cooking too lol

[@j0doe1]

I guess that Pokemon Go concept is possible after all.

[@Alignedtop]

When Sega had the 64bit system i saw leaves move when young simba jumped between trees. Now its this.

[@balmerical]

Hi Ty, do you know if Oculus quest 2 / facebook still ban users randomly or if its fixed? My ipd is 58 so its sadly the "only" option for me

[@c313g9]

I think the whole ban thing was blown way out of proportion i had the quest 2 for about half a year and never been banned

[@PRODUCEDBYAD]

@@c313g9 sort of. The issue was hasn't people were getting banned unfairly and yes was a lot of people but the majority of users who use are normal users that don't post stuff on Facebook they don't like are fine. I don't even use my real name on my quest and I have had no issues ever

[@habib.bhatti]

they need to improve motion, judder, stabilization a lot more, good device tho

[@kcovert3]

Edge browser not that slow in HL1, think something else was up. Don't let that steam hit the device when cooking.

[@MuhammadKharismawan]

owning a Quest 2 has made me able to appreciate this kind of demo more as I already kinda know how it feels to manipulate things kinda similarly. Facebook is really doing something to make VR, XR experience more mainstream and I'm loving it.

[@user-jf9do1oo1v]

I didnt find spatial in hololens Microsoft store

[@Azik688]

Imagine watching a movie using that thing

[@venchee4906]

Do the holograms appear to bounce when you're in AR? Or is the bouncing just in the video?

[@justaperson57]

He said that it's only the video

[@DEMANATI]

This is some Tony Stark level shit I can't wait to see the mastered version of this tech

[@matthewtheobald1231]

AR is the future of computers and VR is the future of video games

[@Remowylliams]

If I were to use an AR headset that worked the way I want. I'd very much like it to show me pin assignments on a micro controller dev board, to make it easier to see where I'm hooking up devices. Display test equipment values so I can be looking at my device as I'm working on it and see the probe data in an unobtrusive way. I'd like it to help identify parts in a car based on ODBII scans on my car. Or look up on at Auto parts store parts and prices for components I'm holding in front of me. Track tools that I take out of my tool bag, so I can't close the virtual bag till all the tools are accounted for. Watch me remove screws from a laptop and make sure I put all the screws back and in the right place. :) Where does it end. I'm a Maker and 3D printing is a big thing with me. I'd find it very useful if I could get a sense of how a 3d printed model would work / look when it's fitted into the RL location I designed it for. What I wouldn't want to use it for is facial recognition, tracking people etc that's just creepy.

[@oms_noms]

me: see this video also me: 'Wait wat'

[@zipskay7281]

Waiting for this tech to become normal eyeglasses size

[@killjoy2447]

What's the framerate of the display?

[@Tyrielwood]

60hz

[@nvmbrs2882]

I would just use this for infinite virtual external monitors, or a big screen for movies, gaming, etc

[@peterbezak5204]

What did you think about the field of view? I read that it is only about 40 degrees horizontal and 30 degrees vertical, while a quest 2 has roughly 90 degrees both and other VR headsets have a lot more. I still feel like looking through binoculars sometimes when using the quest 2, so this tiny FOV sounds very limiting to me, though it could be different in AR.

[@riley6370]
