The headset is surprisingly compact and about the same size as (though it feels lighter than) the Oculus Quest 2, Facebook's self-contained VR headset. While the Quest 2 is $300 and the HoloLens 2 is more than $3,000, there's a spiritual similarity to both. They're both standalone devices that don't need PCs or phones to use. They both fit easily o...
The Oculus Quest and HoloLens 2 both allow hand tracking, but Facebook uses it as an alternative to the Quest's controllers. Hand tracking on the Oculus Quest works surprisingly well, but the HoloLens 2 has no controllers at all: Everything is done with your hands. That's where the HoloLens 2 shines... and has awkward moments, too. To touch virtual...
The HoloLens 2 also has eye tracking, something that current non-business VR headsets don't. Eye tracking is subtle, but it allows me to look at an object -- like an open app window across the room -- and say "close app," and it knows which one to close.

The HoloLens 2's limited field of view feels like a large window floating in front of me where glowing 3D things appear. But the window isn't wide enough, which means I have to move my head to take in things around the room that I don't know are there. The display also has a slightly hazy rainbow-like quality. It's not the perfect vivid display I'd...
Microsoft's HoloLens 2 uses communications and telepresence as its killer apps for business. It could also excel at giving heads-up instructions in the workplace. But what would the killer apps be for AR glasses sold to everyday people? Would it be fitness? Games? Virtual movie glasses? An extra monitor that can go anywhere? No one's figured this o...
