In this video, I unbox a HoloLens Gen 2 and give a comparison to the HoloLens Gen 1. I also try them out for the first time and share with you my first impressions of the device.

18:35 Closing Remarks
Out of all the videos online, this has been the most useful one I've found so far. Thanks
Hololens 3 is gonna be mind blowing
Oh yeah, hopefully by then we start to see more general use apps and cheaper headsets
Excellent video. Thank you.
Awsome
Does you hand appear in front of the screens when you click on things? Like from your pov. Because in the recording you hand appears behind things you touch
You've asked an interesting question! The short answer is, the hand is always behind the rendered visuals. Because the holograms are not really projected in real space (the device gives the illusion of it due to the way it renders the visuals in front of you in the see through display). Therefore, your hand is always behind the visuals (because it's behind the screen). Now, what is interesting is that, even though the hand is physically and really behind the visuals, it's clear when it is supposed to be in front (thanks to depth). For example, I try to move my hand from behind the menu forward to try and be in front, and I can clearly see the difference even though the hand still remains behind! I'm not sure exactly on why is the case, but I think it may be due to how the renderings appear to have depth (and our brilliant brains of course!).
@@VelcodeCS Thanks for that well written and quick response! I think that will be something that will could and will be changed in the near future. Because if hand tracking and tracking in general becomes good enough, I believe we would easily be able to allow our hands in front of the digital displays. Similar to current VR technology
@@Braeden.F Totally agree!
Can you have multi screens like you would have with multi monitors ?
Yep! You can also pin them to walls, so they stay there like an actual monitor.
I've calibrated, I've setup my PIN login, but now I'm stuck. What are the next steps? I can't even open the start menu because when looking at my palm the 'Windows Icon' doesn't appear at all. PLEASE HELP.
I haven't had any issues with mine (hopefully it stays that way). If nothing seems to work, you could try resetting it.
Right = right click that's why it didn't work but made sound
How did you get it?
You can buy now directly from their website: www.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens/buy
can u watch youtube on it?
Yep!
Please adjust the focus brother
It's crazy how many errors occur when trying to record something 🥴
@@VelcodeCS indeed
Can it play games?
There isn't a whole lot of that in it, but I do recall them showcasing minecraft in it. I myself haven't tried games.
@@VelcodeCS bro I bought this thing but I cannot do anything with it? Is there any side loading stuff we can do..?
@@navinbhandari2001 What do you mean by not do anything with it? Are you getting an error? Or are you asking what kind of things you can use it for?
@@VelcodeCS it works but I have no idea of how to use it, was hoping u could do some videos on how to use in a non commercial sense. The Microsoft store for it is limited?..hope I’m making sense
@@navinbhandari2001 Unfortunately, this technology is still quite premature for the public. You can set up your house with different opened windows (like pin a KZhead page to a wall and simulate a large screen). The store is indeed very limited (I mean, even the normal windows 10 store isn't very relevant!). It honestly will be a while before the general public sees much use for it. Maybe with what they recently introduced, the Microsoft Mesh, it may speed up the development of interesting applications. I myself are only using it for my research. Most others using it are industry related applications. :\
I want try it video call ,is it real face to face 🤭🤭
There isn't any native video call in it that I am ware of, but it seems things are going on a similar direction. You can see what Microsoft just announced here: kzhead.info/sun/fchrd69oqHaqhZ8/bejne.html
@@VelcodeCS oh, thank you 💐
For 4000 I thought it’d be smoother
It is still in its development cycle. Despite its use in various industries, the general public won't get much use from it yet. We'll see whenever the third gen comes out what it has to offer.
