Nice vid, thanks for posting it. Microsoft has its fanboys though, so some people will always go with a Microsoft made device even if it is not as good.
I actually think the biggest threat to HoloLens and what Microsoft are trying to do with HoloLens and ‘Mixed Reality’ is new VR devices like Lenovo that can do VR/AR(MR) and uses Windows Holographic – And are being deemed as ‘VR headsets’:-
The reason for the "VR first" approach is:
1. Consumers know VR already and this is the number 1 reason for them to buy a all-in-one headset. AR and MR are more a added bonus feature at this time.
2. There is already a lot of VR content.
There is no reason to worry about this because:
1. Consumers will always need to search for 100% immersive content (VR) or not immersive content (AR, MR).
2. When mixed reality awareness and content will grow the next years the rolls can be switched at some point from a "VR first" to a "MR first" approach because VR has limited use for games and video and mixed reality on the other hand will / can be used through the whole day and because of this simple fact at the end people will use mixed reality more and this will give a edge for MR.
I think this was a reply from you for my posting at the holo/vs/vr/ar thread.
Great to see MR already being used as a "bridge" for VR/AR this early on. Of course i hope this will be the "golden" standard for the next 10 years to descripe a VR/AR/MR headset. But i am expecting at least for this year a lot of hybrid headsets are marketed as VR headset with AR / MR capabilities because most consumers will use it for VR. (lack of AR/MR content)
