Please research.
1)hololens is wireless
2)different tech
1) Ok, I quoted and reacted to Mads's misunderstood intel video. - that video was not a good example against the Merged Reality word usage.
2) Ok, lets talk about Hololens too
"Microsoft HoloLens is the first fully self-contained, holographic computer, enabling you to interact with high‑definition holograms in your world."
but they say this too:
"
This is mixed reality. Mixed reality blends 3D holographic content into your physical world, giving your holograms real-world context and scale, allowing you to interact with both digital content and the world around you."
The keywords are: mixed reality, holo, holographic content,.
Can you show me a picture where the device works outside, and not in their ofice?
I dont find outside usage image in their promo materials. - This is Mixed Reality?. - mixed in their office - they bring inside the outside environments.
Nobody wants to compete with Microsoft. The holo and the holographic now are their worlds, and nobody want to meet with their lawyers.
Merged Reality is an other, maybe a better expression for the indie developers, startups and small companies, because it is open and it can give more freedom in the real world and not only in the office.
It is very hard to define exactly Merged Reality because it is very new, and this is why we need to talk and argue about this topic.
We are at the start of something very amazing!!!
Currently and theoretically (in my opinion)
I feel that, the difference will be
between Mixed Reality and Merged Reality,
as the
difference is between Windows and Linux.
