Kudo Tsunoda says the final hardware's FOV won't be "hugely noticeably different"

Not super surprising given how poorly VR and AR and all the metaverse stuff have taken off really.
Also outside of the military, you barely see or hear anything about Hololens these days.
I'm surprised that the Oculus Quest and PSVR didn't have these problems
It's hard to explain how in the world this listing exists
bahaha.. it's almost like they just threw in popular buzz words to show up on searches. Dear god that translation was awful.
I saw a shit mobile game advertised on facebook once that literally showed gameplay from BotW...
Like I mean really? Out of all the games to use to deceive consumers, you choose one of the biggest and most recognizable IPs in history...and from their most recent game to boot?
That is a special kind of stupid right there.
Beta set to release later this year - but what does Pot of Greed do?
And this is what kills it for me :(
Maybe in a few years it'll be sorted but I'm not gonna shell out on the tech with such a glaring limitation.
On one hand, Im glad Microsoft is trying to move tech forward and doing something different.
On the other hand... what about the Kinect? I mean this is something that is already on the market and has had zero support. So now MS is throwing this AR tech out there, and it seems like a half-baked idea.
I have my doubts on whether the Hololens will make it to market. And if it does, will it transcend Minecraft?
I personally don't really see Hololens as a useful piece of tech for gaming. Just like Kinect, its perfect for a few niche styles of games, but doesn't do much for gaming as a whole. I can't see this being used for anything other than Minecraft and maybe an RTS. Where VR is about becoming a part of the game world, Hololens seems to be about bringing the game world to your table, literally. From a content creation standpoint though, I think its brilliant.
I think it looks really cool, but if it doesn't have an overabundance of support, it will be like all motion, camera, and VR devices. They are all great tech, but without the support of the community, they wont survive.
To early in development to make guesses like this. A lot can change between now and whenever its released. This article is stupid, the tech isn't even close to finale stages.
