Microsoft's long-awaited HoloLens 2 AR helmet is here now. You can buy one for $ 3,500. In fact, Microsoft said in an official announcement that it is very difficult to make the device easy to use, but its ultimate goal is to make it easy to use, so that the customer does not need a special guide to use every time.
As a reminder, Microsoft said earlier this year that the new HoloLens 2 helmet aims to change “the way the work is done”. The company states that the new helmet will be more comfortable and immersive compared to the previous generation. HoloLens 2 has twice the field of view providing 47 pixels per degree of vision. Microsoft says this is similar to switching from HD to Quad HD TV for each eye.
The new HoloLens 2 helmet can track the user's retina to see exactly where it looks. You'll also get Windows Hello authentication support. According to Microsoft, HoloLens 2 also features a new depth sensing sensor that can track a user's hands without a control hand.
Microsoft has made the new HoloLens 2 helmet more comfortable by using carbon fiber, and has also made adjustments to the heat management system to keep the helmet as cool as possible. There is a ring to tighten the helmet with the head, and the helmet front has been redesigned so that users can now shift the helmet front without having to remove the helmet completely.
Although you won't have one yourself, you might see HoloLens 2 in presentations from companies that rely heavily on 3D computer models to design their products. At least for now, the only consumer-friendly augmented reality experiences are those you get on your phone.
