We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Pokemon Go.
The hardware is too inaccessible, and nobody has much experience making content for the thing. Eventually, yeah itll be almost the new phone, but not yet.
I feel as though partnered with Nintendo this would do amazing.
It will come down to pricing, how much is the headset?
Not really. Here is the proper original prof of concept video. MS has been working on this stuff for years and it accelerated with the v2 hololens.
-edit-
My bad, I see how you're just pointing out a Pokemon go POC and not virtual conferencing that the Mesh video is about.
Microsoft Steps Up Push to Bring Virtual Reality to the Masses
Software giant unveils developer tools to make it easier and cheaper to create VR, AR content

Same boat as you, but this video shows some actual real life examples, I am really intrigued, once the size and price of Hololens comes down in a few years, this could very well be the step forward that communications need. Funny enough, I remember pitching an idea for something similar to a microsoft exec about 7 years ago and he invited me to work with them on said idea, should've said yes
Microsoft is probably the most important consumer technology company. The thing is, they've likely been working on this sort of technology for the US military for years.

the closest to Pokemon on Xbox as MS will get
I'm hoping we'll see a new version of hololens soon
they even sent hololens to the ISS
Hololens is certainly not 'dead' in its target enterprise market.
It's a software solution and infrastructure and not an expensive piece of hardware, this thing has potential legs.
Don't think many average consumers even know what a mesh wifi network is. If this takes off I don't think it will be a problem.
It's such a success we can't stop being bombarded with articles about how it's revolutionizing the enterprise world.
lol yeah right. This has insane implications in the business world alone. Almost guarantees it will eventually reach mass market consumption.
Also, HoloLens isn't dead.
I'm just not sure any of this is necessary. Like, AR more broadly.
Like, I get it. If I'm a surgeon who needs an expert consult mid-surgery I could see popping on my AR and allowing the expert to provide real-time 3D feedback on the finer points of some bit of anatomy I guess. But like, I do remote meetings every day and most people don't even care to turn on their cameras. So I don't see why we need an additional layer of "presence" via VR/AR.

Long term success of AR is convenience. Same reason the iPhone was so successful; you didn't NEED it but the ease of use made it a success and ultimately turned it into something most people didn't want to do without.
Once shit like directions to a coffee shop being displayed on the sidewalk in front of you becomes technically realistic + easy to use, AR will take off. My bet's on Apple being the one to do it again.
this is a mixed Reality solution incorporating tablets, phones, VR headsets, AR headsets etc.
FOV of what? VR headsets? Phones? Tablets?
Couldn't be bothered to watch the video in the OP before doing a drive-by, eh?
