Nov 11, 2019 · A major improvement that Hololens 2 has over the original headset is the field of view. Microsoft has increased it from 16:9 to 3:2, which meant that the models didn’t disappear the second I ...

Here you are my massive video review of the HoloLens 2(featuring almost 1 hour of content) with many examples of interactions and mixed reality videos! If you prefer videos to walls of texts, this is what you should watch in this article:
I have shot the usual video documenting my unboxing experience with the headset. The video documentsmy full unboxing experience of the package as it has been sent to me from VR Expert, and it is slightly different from the real unboxing experience with a brand new HoloLens. For instance, in the box I’ve found a cleaning cloth for an Oculus device… ...
HoloLens 2 is a very elegant device, made with high-quality materials. It is smaller and lighter than it seems in videos, and when you see it, you have immediately the impression that it is a premium product. The choice of the black color and the fabric finishes make it look like a professional tool, so it is perfect to use in enterprise settings. ...
The visuals of HoloLens 2 have been very disappointing to me.For sure you have read all those online reports of people seeing “rainbows” when looking through the headset… well, I had those rainbows on my device too… and not only that! On my device, I have found all the possible problems I could imagine. The “rainbow vision”, that is color inconsist...
Hololens 2 features integrated audio via two speakers that are installed in the lower part of the headband and that go above the ears of the user. The audio is loud and clear and for my average ear, it is very good. It is not mind-blowing like the ones of the Valve Index or the Vive Focus 3, but it is absolutely good. You can also turn up and down ...
Comfort is one of those characteristics where the HoloLens 2 truly proves to be amazing.The headset is very easy to fit into your head by just adjusting the top headband and then closing the rear knob to close it around your head. It is incredibly balanced thanks to the fact that the battery is on the rear and the display on the front. The weight d...
Positional tracking is a category where the HoloLens 2 is the absolute king. There’s to my knowledge no other AR headset that can show the augmentations in a way that is this stable. With all the other devices, when you rotate your head, when you move inside your room, the augmentations move a lot, while with HoloLens, they stay fixed in place, as ...
HoloLens 2 has no controllers, but it lets you interact with the mixed reality elements through hand tracking, eye tracking, and voice commands. This is a very innovative decision, and I was pretty skeptical about it, but after I have tried it, I can say that it works. The secret to making it usable is the monstrous hand tracking algorithm. Microso...
Eye-tracking on HoloLens 2 works more or less like on all the other devices where I tried it. It is usable, it works, but it is not perfect. And especially, it requires an initial calibration for every user, or it won’t be reliable at all. Eye tracking can be very useful for enterprise applications: for instance,during training sessions, analyzing ...
It is possible to give commands to HoloLens using your voice.This comes in handy especially when paired with eye tracking. For instance, you can look at a window and say “close” to close it. The system understands what window you are interested in thanks to your eyes, and then closes it because you said that with your voice. Commands detection work...
