Cue the epic star wars music - the Hololens has arrived! We were SO VERY excited to unbox it and try it on right away. (kids too, of course) Images Below
Here is the list our initial thoughts not in any particular order. All of us really enjoyed it and had very similiar opinions about it -- at least at this point.
1. Being that it is a developement edition device it is more refined than we thought it would be. Even the Box was awesome and is a keeper. Right now it's on our mantel in between each picture of the kids -- who's the favorite kid now :)
2. It's more lightweight than we thought it would be but after wearing it a while it gets a little heavy.
3. The holographic window is a bit smaller than hoped for. It would nice if we could see the entire surrounding within your entire peripheral vision.
4. You can still see all the normal surroundings as you would with the holographic environment added to it versus the full Virtual Realty experience. It's fun to shoot a scorpion that's right above each other's head.
5. Hand gestures are always recognized and very fun to do. Playing RoboRaid our fingers got a little sore and so we used the clicker (that comes with the Hololens). The clicker made it especially easier for the kids to use.
6. Your eyes/gaze are truly your pointer! This is super awesome! It was easy to use and took at little bit to get the hang of. This is definitively one of our favorite features. Jen is hoping that if she gazes long enough at the laundry it will do itself.
7. Spacial mapping, quality of holograms and ability to place them within the space was amazing. (more images and live streaming to come). It was certainly an experience in of itself. You could walk around the holograms to see them in 3D!
8. We started having fun in creating our own holograms using the toolbox.
9.This is a Full windows 10 device, with internet, bluetooth, wi-fi, usb, video & camera capabilities and voice recognition.
10. Over wi-fi on another windows 10 device you can see what the other person who is wearing the Hololens is seeing. Stay tuned for more on that! This made it really fun for family use. But we feel it's going to be a necessity for the use of business collaboration and a team of developers like us, especially a husband and wife team.
So there you have it The Top 10 list of our initial reaction!
We CANNOT wait to be a part of shaping the future. Stay Tuned for More Exciting things to come Bit By Bit!
How fabulous do we look!
