In a mind-blowing revelation, I learned my university had a Hololens to try. Before trying it, I'd always believed that AR would be the future. After trying it, I believe that AR will be the
future - the tech isn't quite there yet.
The finger clicks work like 60% of the time, and the windows seem to vary in opaqueness which really threw me off. (And yes, the FOV is pretty terrible right now). But for minutes at a time, I'd be fully immersed.
Mixed reality will be one of the biggest transformations, I think. The digital world used to be restrained to our desks. Right now, we carry it around with us in our pockets (and maybe even on our wrists). But with augmented reality, it's going to be joined with our real world - the two are finally going to truly merge. It's impossible to know what will develop from this.
We live in interesting times.
